We're still on the same side, but companies like Hasbro and Mattel do business differently from smaller competitors like McFarlane. Hasbro and Mattel saturate the market with a "let's try everything and see whatever sticks" approach, which frankly creates a lot of waste from both a business and environmental standpoint. As funny as it may be seeing products deeply discounted on store shelves, I'd prefer knowing that companies were making products that people actually wanted. Market research is not difficult to conduct in today's world.

I can't really act like the character selection in Multiverse is a win, tbh. Like I said, I understand why Mcfarlane doesn't have the freedom to do what Hasbro does with the Marvel license, but I can't pretend I wouldn't prefer a more expansive character selection. They're very slowly getting there, which I appreciate, but there are tons of characters I'd like to see before the umpteenth Batman costume variant, even if I can understand why that might be necessary from a fiscal standpoint.
