Mattels fault -i went to walmart 1 day and they had 4 cheetahs 4 donna troys and 2 superboys.now did walmart really hold that many figures aside in the back and put them all out at once or did mattel put 4 cheetahs etc in 1 case or only put 1 blue beetle/Blue Devil/negative per case ,i still havn't seen blue devil.
I've see a few of Blue Devil around, but didn't think anything of it. I didn't know it was rare.
But you are right, Mattel decides what the case ratios will be, and more often than not they will load a case with a "popular" toy because it sells well. Those that are the least popular (in Mattel's estimation) get shortpacked and become sought-after by collectors. Most manufacturers do this, since cases can only hold a certain number of the toys due to packaging dimensions. It's actually more unusual for a case ratio to be perfectly even, unless it's a case of one toy (MP Skywarp) or a few larger toys (Leader Class TFs).
