Honestly, I think Hasbro just throws darts at a chart on the wall to determine answers for our questions and what figures they'll be doing. Once in a while, we get some random obscure thing that a couple of us wanted and we think that they might actually be listening. Mattel and sadly even ToyGuru have Hasbro licked in this department. ToyGuru can at times give snide answers and give us the run around, but he has acknowledged and even answered quite a few of our questions in comparison. In fact, sometimes our fan demands actually get answered in the figures that are released and accessories that come with them which is pretty sweet. The fact that a Beast figure was ever considered at all was probably totally random. Assuming that they made the Astonishing Cat Beast that hardly anyone wanted just to spite us would be giving them too much credit. You have to pay attention to your fan base in order to do that.
