Combined with the hot water Hasbro have gotten themselves into over names that are acceptible here (Spastic, Slag), that have illogically become extremely offensive over there, may be setting an example for other toy companies to be more cautious.

These may have something to do with it.
Huh, never knew that. That made for some interesting googling. What I found pretty much all agrees, that they (at least the UK) has changed the policies about the "violence."

I'm half-tempted to write the company and see if they'd give a straight answer.
