From a business perspective, it's stupid for them to keep making prototype with a year of inventory ready to go.
We still have (drumroll please)
Nighthawk
The MoE set
ALL of waves 18 and 19
New AvX comic packs
Old Man Logan exclusive (not some crappy repaint- YEAH!)
Electra
Emma Frost
Collusus-Juggernaut
Inhumans boxed set
That Giant Ultimo
Pending stuff like the Black Knight, Masterson Thor, Thunder Frog, etc.

Really, there's a minimum of 25-30 figures that have not hit retail in any way and we're still worried about the line?!?

That's three times the number of ML figures announced and no one is saying "The sky is falling!" over that line...

I think our love of MU (and big reveals at prior shows) has colored some of our expectations- and the occasional doomsayer that promounced the line dead only feeds into our dread that, in spite of all evidence otherwise, the line is ending.

Really, unless they officially announce something, lets go with what they actually said- that the line was pushed bak because of The Avengers and it should be easier to find new upcoming stuff.

Exactly this. I echo these sentiments word for word.

I've also realized that many of us who grew up in the 80s share a fondness for 3.75 scale, but kids nowadays can care less. There is no nostalgia involved for them so introducing them to Legends is not a bad move. They cost more and thus provide more revenue. Their aftermarket value is incredible and will now only rise.

If u guys can't see through that, you are blind by fever.

Cost is a deterrent to most parents. Space can also be a deterrent. Smaller works because you can buy more, have vehicles, and still have space leftover in your play room. Whereas Legends, 20 figures will set you back. You'll never find the variant you want for a decent price, and while they have value, so does MU.

Legends is a great collector line, but it doesn't have the mass appeal smaller figures do to both kids and collectors. When kids play, they do a lot of cross line usage too, so equal scale to all pays off in the long run. Sure when younger bigger is whatever to smaller, but once kids reach that 6-10 mark they start wanting even scales.
