I think they didn't expect success because with IM2 and Cap, you got figures that were outside the movie - in some cases, WAAY outside the movie (Bucky Cap, Agent, Kmart 3 pack). At some point, Hasbro might notice that the comic figures sell through pretty fast - while jungle Cap and Thor with a different painted armor doesn't sell as well. I wonder what the Avengers may show - but from NYCC, it seems that they are skimping in every possible way, so I'm not optimistic.

you are 100% correct.
