The relative quality of Star Wars toys has little to no bearing on Dwight Stall's alleged desire to crush our scale not being evidenced at all in his tenure with that brand. If he was so determined to rid the world of 1:18 you'd think he'd have done something about it when in charge of one of the biggest 1:18 brands. And yet, no 6" GI Joe, no 6" Star Wars until well after his stewardship.

And sales seem to be doing just fine post-Vonner. The line is still going, so retailers are still buying it enough to justify its production. It's selling well enough that retailers have enough confidence to pick up Comic Packs as an expansion of it again, something that the end of Vonner's run did no favors. Do you have any evidence beyond anecdotal to support a decline in sales post-Vonner?
