Just how it is now. Lower everything- quality,articulation,paint control. Everything lowered except price.

As for Hasbro using different factories, I don't see it happening. I have read about talks of it, but think they will stick with what they have. The factories will most likely be staying in China. Just watched a news film on manufacturing in India versus China. The factory itself doesn't belong to Hasbro so it isn't theirs to move. Until a decent is built to compete, the Chinese factory will still get awarded the Hasbro contract I am pretty sure. Too many unknowns and we all know they have enough quality control issues as it is. Imagine the same factory that produces Chap Mei making Hasbros figures! The horror.

Did it again Kernal!

Ha ha well now they do actually sell straight up knockoffs, like that hulkbuster... But yes I am happy to hear this story (no matter how many times it's told) as I used to wonder how the heck Chinabay got them (used to wonder if it was dumpster diving or theft or what. I actually wanted to know how the sausage was made!
