I feel like I've been time-warped back to the mid-to-late 90's. Maybe the line can return as a fans' choice line some time in the future.

Look how long it took them to do jacen and jaina figures that people had wanted for a long time.

Um, you forgot Transformers.

Exactly. Same reason Transformers was never really dropped, even in the dark (yet brightly colored) times of G2.

I'm not really surprised that the Star Wars comic packs are being cancelled. There were a bunch of characters I did not even know.

Same here, but I knew most of them were from the comics and/or novels. Basically, it was a continuation of the original Expanded Universe comic packs released in the 90's (Prince Xizor, Darktrooper, Dark Jedi Luke, etc.)

I think a lot of that has to do with the source material. Novels provide little to no visual references for the sculptors. And even though comics provide far more visual references, the art is usually skewed by the artist so the details are more subjective.

Not to mention the fact that Hasbro/Kenner has had 26-32 years to perfect the sculpts from the original trilogy.
