It's strange how similar Hasbro and Mattel's situations have been in the past but the outcomes have been completely different. When Marvel Legends dwindled a few years ago, Hasbro really focused on their 3.75" Marvel Universe line to improve the sculpts and articulation. In fact, that's where the ankle pivot joint was first introduced. So when ML returned, Hasbro began churning out great figures. The first few waves were a mix of old and new but the new began to replace the old very quickly. Mattel on the other hand canceled DCUC, started the 3.75" DC Multiverse line, but never worked to improve anything. So when DC Multiverse changed back to 6", it was more of the same.
