I never badmouthed anyone's collecting or toys. I never said anything negative about MU. And in fact, my very first post was a statement like yours, "To each their own, buy what you like."

The only thing that had any realavence to my post: the "Hasbro Subscription Figure" part. Hasbro doesn't offer a subscription service. Mattel does though, and Hasbro's been talking about ripping it off, through the Joe and TF collector clubs.
I will admit the Star Wars part of Hasbro caters heavily and insanely to the fans. But then I tend to forget Star Wars even exists at times.
As for varients, there's usually a varient or two in each DCUC wave. But MU varients tend to be insanely rare (Not Hasbro's fault I'll admit. That's probably more to scalpers), and it doesn't seem like Hasbro makes them very often.
Like I'd said, Mattel has a few lines that exists exclusively for the collector market, and are marketed exclusively to the collector market.
Right off the top of my head? Ghostbusters, Heman, Voltron Classics. There are probably others when you get around brands none of us follow, like Barbi.
Hell, they've even gone out of their way to make one for DCUC so they can continue to produce the really obscure characters the collector market craves. (I can't see Hasbro doing that for Marvel Legends, or even MU if that took a sharp downturn).
Hasbro does nothing like this. If they can't sell a line at retail, they won't do it at all. They have the same resources and capabilities as Mattel. In fact, they have more resources than they do. So they could if they wanted to.
But Mattel has been catering directly to the Adult Collector market for decades, where as Hasbro has only really started to acknowledge there is one over the last fifteen years or so. (Oldschool Joe and SW not withstanding. But like I admitted, Star Wars has always been insanely geared towards fandom.)

I was balls to th wall drunk on Tequilla last night haha, sorry for coming off as a douche, I posted like 20 random messages last night mainly on FB lol.
