Nothing wrong with that. It's the reality the situation. Half of these lesser known comic characters getting made likely wouldn't have were it not for them being slipped into a more popular movie wave.

One thing you notice when looking at the list of characters Hasbro has done vs. what ToyBiz did with the line is that Hasbro gets in some much deeper cuts when it comes to obscurity, which the movie stuff gives them the leeway to do.

Your average retailer likely isn't gonna be too enthused by you trying to sell him figures of C and D list Marvel characters, but being able to slip them into something that's tied to a hit movie allows them to get made.
