2: The Ultra Figure did not sell as well as Mattel has pretended. Simply because they burned the people they wanted to buy them. Do not insult me then expect me to spend my money.
3: While Mattel says "You can't do this, You can't do that" they still do exactly what they say they can't (That is put a Product in the stores, Total Heroes and WWE). And their Competition does that and still sells their Product.
4: Poor customer service.


Toy$ R U$ is a specialty store this is why Kaybee sunk because Kmart, Walmart, and Target Undersold them

I think you hit that nail on the head pretty well. The only Total Heroes figures I've ever seen leave the shelves are Batman and Flash, and even then I'm pretty sure the stores around me haven't had to reorder since their first shipment 'cause they never fully sold out. I really hope, somehow, some way, in some miracle-like manner, that they bring back DCUC once the Total Heroes line is kaput. Wishful thinking, I know, but even if they did a quarterly release system like they're doing this year, it'd be better than nothing. They know the customer base is there, they just have to give the people what they want!
