It tends to work best if they run side by side. Kids want to be able to pick up figures that look like characters from the movie - and comic Thor does not. Nor do the other movie figures. What is strange is that they didn't do a comic series of figures within the movie line like they have with Cap and IM2. This is one of those one hand scratches the other: the movie line enables the comic figures to be produced, and the comic figures boost the sales of the movie line. IM2 is an example of how the comic figures well exceeded the movie figures. I find the same true for Cap. The BIGGEST mistake they are making with all the movie lines is that they are making WAAY too many variations of the title character. Both IM and Cap have had many different outfits and that is great - but don't make "new" variations that like Arctic IM which just a repaint of another armor, or Winter Camo Cap which was ... just horrible, but also a repaint. Also, Hasbro should consider how many of these repaints have already appeared in the MU line. I appreciated the new Bucky Cap in the movie line only because I didn't buy the WM exclusive pack. But, I already had a few IMs from the MU line, whether they were in comic pack or exclusive not to mention the single figures. Cap already had the Ultimate, the Secret Wars, the SDCC exclusive, and the original WW2 mask with original shield. At some point, it would have been good if they had acknowledged this by not producing nearly all of these in the movie line. But at least with Cap and IM2 there were comic figures. Thor - not so much, although the Destroyer works well within the comic line. Hasbro really needs to look more closely at the movie lines and figure out how to get ALL the waves to consumers without going to discount stores or forcing them to pay internet prices.
