Well....no.

Marvel is between movies just now, that's all When Cap was out, Marvel had a huge presence- and IM2 laster for literally years iin stores- it's still there!

That shows a lot of faith in the marvel brand- otherwise theyy'd have pawned the IM2 figs onto secondary retailors like Marshalls long before now.

Also consider shelf space accorded to large Hasbro items that Mattel cant touch- Sentinels and Galactus...not to mention other lines like Star Wars.

Large chains cant go all-Hasbro and freeze out Mattel- diversity and compitition makes for better (and cheaper) toys!
