Pretty accurate, I think. I'm guessing that while Hasbro doesn't have an outright ban on creating X-men Figures (and F4) that Disney has strongarmed/encouraged them to not create any figures, and that Hasbro has decided it's in their best interest to listen. I think that Emma and possibly Rogue were just too far along in the production process for them to decide it was in their best interest to not release. At some point money spent must be recouped.

I know some may hold a different opinion and that's great, that's your right to it, but I have a very difficult time believing it's not a real thing going on here.

I know this is more Legends related but Hasbro rep commented "we may Or possibly see" more X-Men related figures closer to the movie release. I don't think we will. Wouldn't those have already been shown along with the rest of the 2016 product for other lines? It sounded like a very evasive "we'll see" answer and I don't buy into it one bit. But I'd love for them to prove me wrong on both lines.*

* to clarify, yes i do think we'll see Emma released. And maybe even Rogue. Also I think Wolverine and Deadpool may continue to be exceptions to release due to their possibility, in either line. But otherwise I think we'll get squat.
