The point is, out-with the Premier League heroes in Cap, Spidey, Wolverine et al, retailers are considering everyone else obscure and non-sellers. And, figures like MU falcon will further that mindset. I seem to remember a DC line struggling from the get-go due to a similar issue, I can't remember which one though.

I don't have any younger relatives into Marvel or DC so I can't ask this question but: do kids remember the names of the obscure from these shows? Or do they just recreate Hulk-Smash and Thor using his "hammer"?
