This trend ended with the Avengers and Amazing Spider-man lines.


I was talking about having single carded movie figures mixed into the current interation of MU. They're starting to get into that territory with the boxed figures, but they still need to take that leap fully.


Also, your last statement is unnecessary and false. For the sake of peace in the thread, I will not make this into an argument, but just take a look at this thread. We may not have as many people representing us as the 6 inch line does in terms of YouTube and all that, but we're still a pretty big group.

they were part of the hasbro 3.75 universe the fact they had comic figures made them tie in with the main universe line.so to me its pretty much the same thing,but under a different marketing strategy.they over saturated the market with them and people did not want to shell out for their original retail cost.it caused the movie lines to clog,where as the main universe line was selling because the stock was limited.2 cases per store in my area.in some areas 0 cases.
investing to heavily in the movie lines at the beginning cost them,people here back when it was popular suggested something a lot more controlled in terms of movie/comic cross branding.another point being that they could have dropped the gimmicks and saved money,some of those things where as big as the figure and inappropriate.with all these movies on the cards its hard to say how they will approach the 3.75 market in the next year or so.the current release of 3.75 is hit and miss,the main issue being the lack of artic on some characters.that spidey 2 pack is dreadful.
there is no argument and im not trying to be mean,3.75 has got its enthusiasts,many are right here,posting daily.and its those guys who keep the thing going.but legends has been around a life time and plans on sticking around for a few more years.look on the bright side though,things and people like kickstarter,3d technology,v-hacks,and all the great customisers here and on other platforms,will keep this thing going long after hasbro drop it.......................then again,2017 could see hasbro kick me in the nads,and slap me in the face with a horde of brand spanking new 3.75,s!!!!heres to hoping!
