Maybe Hasbro finally realized they needed to get with the program. Mattel really raised the bar on 6" figures. Hasbro's previous attempt at ML were far from impressive, and weren't as good as Toybiz had been (Who also were no longer at the peak of their game).
Mattel really changed the field with their easily reused molds (I would prefer every character get a unique sculpt like ML, but who wouldn't? But even I see the financial gain in this that Hasbro now exploits with their MU line), standardized articulation that's not as over the top as some legends were, as well as better quality and solid builds. (At least until they switched to this painfully soft plastic)

I miss those early days of Toybiz' ML... I miss looking at a 6" action figure with complete comic and an absolutely MASSIVE piece of Sentinel, seeing that it costs $8, and thinking to myself ... "Damn these things have gotten pricey."
Man, that brought back memories. Maaaaan oh Maaaaan
