I disagree- for Hasbro it would be a hassle and the cost involved with producing unnique figs would never be met by the club revenue.

So you'd have non-stop repaints at best...at worst you'd have club exclusives that eliminate better produced characters from becoming retail figs.

For example- the club makes a repainted Firestar into a fairly inaccurate Mockingbird, this killing any chance of her being produced as a carded retail fig.

And of course, as with Mattycollector, fans would never be happy with what is offered- AND it gives Hasbro an "out" to sell figs only as club/online/diamond exclusives at a higher price point, which is bullshit.
And it would be scalper heaven.

Nope. It's a bad idea.
