realistically it is not.and it shows when you compare both lines.there are many reasons why this is so and one of those reasons is people not wanting to pay the prices asked today,we have all seen it rise,but for a few dollars/euro extra you can get a 6" with a ton of accessories.

like i said earlier contract runs out in 2018,perhaps they are contractually obliged to keep it going till contract end.and sources have indicated that hasbro have enough work there to keep the line going till about that time,so lets see,its safe to say 2017 will be a decent year.but seeing as for 20 dollars you get a decent articulated figure with tons of accessories and a baf part it doesnt seem so bad.but for 13 you get a joe sized fig with mediocre articulation and no accessories?thats why the other line has snowballed in the past 3 years.id really like to see those sales records.plus the fact they cleverly intergrated the movie universe into their 6" waves,instead of creating multiple movie lines like what we got a few years back.they didnt sell so well as i recall,but everyone had a field day grabbing them a year later for next to nothing at tj maxx,5 below and stores like that.

I've talked about how designers should have a Twitter or something just for them to interact with their fanbase without any filters, and get the full picture, and it still applies(despite the pros and cons).

marked improvement on the line has seen an increase in sales.perhaps somebody who is in the know here could point you in the right direction as far as twitter is concerned.these guys have facebook accounts id imagine they are on twitter as well.as far as legends is concerned,i went the opposite route,dropped 6" for 4" kept the legends that work with universe.but i have seen a lot of universe collectors go over to legends in the past couple of years,its a continuing trend.
