Even the way McF explained in the video it still does not make sense to cancel the 5" line. He might be just doing it to push the color top brand, saying that retailers have to buy that or they won't get the 5" figures.
The only places I ever see the comic 5s are in comic shops and toys r us, not walgreens, so I am assuming that walgreens sales could be the reason for the change. He said he was doing it even if it was not a good idea. Other than disputing with a retailer I don't see why both brands can't exist in the world. He could just remove the 5" line from any retailers that aren't selling or want something different and replace with this new line.
He is just using TWD brand to push stuff that would not sell on it's own but alienating an existing fan base, It is going to end up biting him. I know I am not going to start buying another line, especially knowing it will be a little over $20 a piece.
