It'd make sense to let the cross market platforms of the scale proliferate.

Between GI Joe, and more of that scale that allow for background play fodder like military for Superman to rescue or maybe even protect Lois from. Captain America and his own army squads, or Military response to Zod or Ultron, or what have you. The play benefits for kids with this scale and the cross play works wonders. Even allowing originally some Ben 10 cross play.

I mean it's not like kids keep their toys separate and pristine on a shelf, and even collectors have some fun with that. I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen more Cable with Batman Beyond stuff, or Az Bats with punisher.

The sales kind of push each other's lines not so much as a competitive market but as a unified market. At least when done right.
