Within those you can do store exclusive variants here and there with a different head sculpt or something. The aim would be to always have their characters on toy shelves, and give people a cheaper option who maybe don't want all the stuff that comes with Ultimates.

I think this is a great idea.

I also think we're going to see a bigger shift to the Mego style releases for anything that's not a 100% sure fire hit. The risk and cost to them is just much lower in that format.

I know a lot of the people don't like the Mego-style figures, but I think they're pretty rad. And if it could possibly get me a Vincent Price Dr. Phibes figure, I'd be eternally grateful.
