Should I point them to the ninja turtles aisle as an example of what could be done (core characters always available but with a wide variety of supporting characters, vehicles, play sets, mini play sets, etc.)?

Should I try to convince them they can cater to kids and collectors at the same time (maybe 15 points of articulation, generic body styles with minimal new tooling for figs, but also a wider character selection.)?

Should I yell at them for not letting people know what figures are in each case?-(I believe variants do more to hurt collectors and help secondary markets, which Hasbro doesn't get a piece of--just tell people what toys you are selling and let them buy them instead of the running change guessing game bs)

There answer for 3 Iron mans and so on will be that retailers want them. Same with the variants. I've talked to a Hasbro rep and all he did was blame the retailer saying if they put more of non traditional character then retailers won't order as many. They would rather have iron mans peg warming than let's say falcon or gladiator
