I personally do not know nor care much for the statistics and the numbers within the 'age group' market but I am grateful that there are is a plethora of adult lines out there for the collectors. To tangent off a bit, lines like Playarts Kai, Hot Toys, Revoltech, Kotobukiya, Bowen, etc. etc. isn't something I would THINK the average parent would buy their child for a 'toy'(I will use the term 'child' for the age group that still plays with their toys like I did: making sound affects, throwing them around to hit each other, etc. etc.). I wouldn't spend that much money on my child just to find out the next day that the said toy/statue is shattered in pieces and s/he is already bored of it.

Going back to Hasbro and the main topic as of right now, again I can't say for sure which demographic MU and ML targets and enamors, all I know is that I can't freaking find ML waves for the life of me in my local target or walmart. I have to resort to Amazon or Ebay. I fathom it's a combination of both parents and collectors that are eating up the shelves of the ones that are getting away from me.

With that being said, when Hasbro took over Toybiz's job, the first few I saw were the Blob series, White (drag)Queen and Movie 'Phoenix' and my god were they were atrocious! Maybe because I was scrutinizing the face too much and missed out on some good articulation or what not but still. Red Hulk, Brood, and Ares series were redemption in my eyes and the return of the Marvel Legends may have raised a few 'why' in my eyes(mainly with WHO they were using for the BAF notion), but they are worth my time. I can't complain much with Hasbro. Though the new Wolverine toys are a bit... dejecting.
