Every time I look at the Hero Mashers ALL OVER the place and hardly ever see more than a couple TH on the pegs tells me that stores are just not ordering them. The Mashers have regular, deluxe, 2 packs, Vehicle packs, and an array of characters already and they have even spread to Transformers. (I think even a GI Joe line of Hero Mashers could be fun). Mattel has just dropped the ball with DC. I am going to hope that we will see a reboot of the DC Classics in a couple years now that Mattel sees how to do it correctly now that Hasbro and Marvel Legends have done all the leg work.

It would be nice. Hopefully DC's upcoming films do not bomb which will help get DC characters out to the general public awareness. Marvel's films have undoubtedly helped the sale of anything with their name, including action figures. Market recognition helps keep lines alive.

It would be awesome to see a really great DC line survive.
