That is the source of my fear. I've read numerous times in interviews that it takes one to two years to get a figure out there, add the slow releases and whole waves of repacks, how long has Vonner been gone? we'll surely know this year if Hasbro has any new ideas, or if there still swimming in the Vonner well. I haven't heard anyone at Hasbro express a passion for this line since the old team. I don't even know who's in charge of the line anymore! we don't get regular announcements, no one's out there beating the drum trying to gain support and enthusiasm for the line, it's like they just don't care. remember when they did fans choice pools? then actually made the figures! where did that go?!?, probably the same place as interactive websites, file cards, individual card art, and stands!... Between the MI packing, and SW Black, the toy isle is fast becoming a sad dreary place. Thus endith the rant.

Yeah I went to target and fred Meyers today, seems like the only figures selling are wasp and hulk, even with the stores getting second cases in. There is so much source material to draw from between books, movies, and shows. All they need to do is open an avengers book from any decade to come up with ideas for this avengers line. Vonner really championed this line its too bad no one else seems to be... Oh well at least we are getting new characters!
