Great point of views, let me lend my two cents.

Disney and Fox are two (Out of only 6) of the biggest media companies on Earth. These 6 companies control everything we see and read, that part is tough to believe, but I promise it is true. They are in direct competition with each other and have been for a while. A few years ago I remember hearing that the Marvel Execs removed anything having to do with FF and X-men from thier offices, all the while no one cared to remove Spider-Man from their history, why you ask? Because Sony Pictures Entertainment have stuggled since it was founded and do not have the breadth of media outlets to be in direct competition with Disney.

Just my opinion.

Also I do feel like the big retail chains are most definetlely Hasbro's Bread and Butter, but there is no way they have any say in the direction of these lines. For years we heard that the stores demand Ironman, Spider-man, and Wolverine that is why they are so abundant. While I agree that the average joe wants those three more than other figures, but the average joe does not buy the entire line like collectors do so why should their opinion be the one that matters? I think stores are smart enough to realize that when they buy into a line it will change from shipment to shipment, I could be wrong and maybe their is a Walton out there going "I can't wait for our stores to get more of the figures that never sell!"

So this goes back to Hasbro passing the blame from spot to spot. I don't hate them, in fact I love what they produce. I just wish there wasn't so much smoke and mirrors and someone could just tell us where things are heading and why.
