For all the hate Hasbro gets, they at least TRY to keep their properties vital (and before you G.I. Joe fans get your knickers in a knot, G.I. Joe will undoubtedly get relaunched in a year or two). The attempts they make may not always be to collectors' (or the general public's) liking, but they try. Then again, the two are often exclusive: You know what sold like crazy this Christmas and are now almost impossible to find in the post-Christmas doldrums? Those Titan figures that collectors can't stand.

With the exception of MotUC (and even it has its' moments) pretty much everything Mattel does just feels...half-assed.

I pretty much expect Hasbro to surpass Mattel in 2016.

It's really not Hasbro keeping their properties out there it's the Properties themselves that do this.. E.G. Marvel, G.I Joe, and Star Wars Keeps making movies (be they Fox, Universal, Sony, or Disney) the movies being out there keep the Properties Vital more then anything else. What properties Does Mattel have that has a movie coming? Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and the Ghostbuster Reboot (Female team). The MOTU Script keeps moving Forward and Back like the Fantastic Four Script.

As for everything being Halfassed that's all on the line manager not Mr. Stockton. Now that Scott Neitlich is at Jaxxs Pacific we'll watch them sink like Titanic.
