I agree that consumers need to vocalize their displeasure with certain aspects of these figures to prompt change. However, it is equally important to praise the decisions that are sound ones (if only to encourage Hasbro to keep up the things we like). Hasbro is doing a much better job, as of late, in selecting characters. Additionally, I give Hasbro credit for doing a good job in not forsaking "comic canon" fans. When they announced that they were merging the movie and comic figs., I was shaken (I have zero interest in Movie figs). In spite of my fears, there has been a good deal of balance and I have had a pretty wide selection of comic based figs to get.
As far as buck-abuse, I'm right there with you. The only difference being that I don't necessarily blame this on Hasbro. Mattel sort of set the trend for this sort of thing with what the 4Horsemen were able to get DCU fans to tolerate (myself included). Great sculpts, but rampant overuse of the same bucks. I think McFarlane's line was the best with unque sculpts, but the articulation was often not there. ToyBiz had articulation and a good amount of variety, but sometimes the figures didn't seem to have continuity (i.e. some figs didn't seem to fit with others). To hit that sweet spot somewhere in the middle, these new legends could use 5 or 6 more bucks so that they can mix and match molds to create different characters (as they did with the AIM soldier and comic canon Starlord). I'm willing to give them (Hasbro) an opportunity to get valuable feedback from threads like these....
