I knew when the rebrand came it was going to be a down hill slope, now we got folks begging for 9 POA figures!?! is this the 90's? NO you cant give people awesome, reel it back to crap and still expect us to keep buying it! I just bought another Beast to open, and all I can say is bitter disappointment! the lack of torso articulation, the stubby arms, the one possession head, and no wrists! on one of the most agile characters in the Marvel Universe. It's a shame he wasn't made three years ago. But It's all good, the shelves and pegs of every store I went to today was literally choked with the 20+ $ ML figures (all the way back to the Cap2 and Ultimate Goblin waves) and I'm not talking peg warmers every figure in every wave of the last two years. so for anyone who speculates that Hasbro makes more per unit on ML and that's why there focus is on the 6", remember if it don't sell they make nothing, the only MI figures I saw today were two beasts, a few Caps, a couple Hyperions and Iron mans, and one Wonder Man. That's literally like 12 figures in all, at seven store. I quit counting Legends after one Target, and one Walmart, but 20-25 per store sounds about right. I know it's not nice to wish ill on people, but I hope the head douche in charge of MI at Hasbro gets shit canned with extreme prejudice, and ends up on Brazil re-tooling old Secret Wars figures for the latten market.

9 POA figures are much more preferable than these awful AOU figures. I agree with you though about the Legends peg warming (here in the Northwest I can find them with a thick layer of dust anywhere). As for the brand manager... all he had to do was ride Vonner's coat tails and repaint the old bucks but he botched it pretty bad. He's like one of those clowns that tries to reinvent the wheel at an office/workplace but just makes everything worse. I've seen it happen a ton of times.
