Mostly it's the wave 2 cap moving like hotcakes- showing that comic version figures sell better than actor-likeness figures every time. That was the killer on the Thor line, I think.

The biggest loser of the year is definitely Tron, followed by Pirates of the Carribbean- which I dont think has sold more than the one figure I bought (just for her head to customize). That entire display at my local target is stuffed full and has been since they put it up a month ago.

I think that the Pirates figures are kind of cool, and I would like to eventually pick them up when they are clearanced out. I noticed that Target carries a sweet box set with every character, so I'll hold out for that one. As far as the Tron figures, they have occasionally been discounted pretty deeply, but that didn't seem to do much for sales. As far as the Green Lantern stuff, I've only been interested in the Kilowog figure, but I hate the green puke color of his costume. I noticed the deluxe version of the figure has a more appealing color scheme, but that isn't worth the extra cash. Anyway, I don't see any of these figure lines doing very well, but I'm glad they are at least trying.Kids have to rely on their parents to buy this stuff, and they would probably save that cash for a video game or a Nerf gun. Toy quality needs to increase, and prices need to drop. If we are having these figures made over seas, then what is with the price?
