Hasbro I'm sure would have loved to get in on that action, but Infinity belongs to Disney.

My 10 and 7 year old sons love playing with action figures. So do my 5 and 3 year old daughters. It may have something to do with the fact that I enjoy them, so really it means we are spending time together, which is far more important to them and me than the fact that Injustice Flash disappeared 48 hours ago. (Hope he didn't fall victim to one of Gorilla Grodds diabolical schemes... I'm about ready to cave in and replace him.) If popularity with action figures is dwindling, parents need to spend some time and teach their children how to use their imagination.
