He poor distribution, super low quality and high price point has to stop. The line CAN carry on, there ARE options. Shit figures with no accessories should end.

I think taking it in a new direction is a good idea as well. MCU would be cool. I don't movie figures personally, but it would benefit those that do

I think they are not too concerned with the price point as they continue to mention. Rather, I see it as a matter of direct competition. A well packaged, highly articulated would battle for both retail shelf space and consumer cash. Since the 6" line s their baby, I don't see them wanting anything to impede its progress.

Also, as our Jackie Boy has pointed; that community is thriving and vocal. We are small and complain to each other and not to them. Their community also spends a lot more. We tend to wait for deals, catch them on China bay and buy older figures. In short, we are a tight lot with our wallets.

All things old become new again. The cost of 6" figures will one day wane to the cost of 3.75" figures. Our phoenix will rise again. If it does fall, that doesn't mean it failed. Just needs a bit to recoup. If HASBRO drops, there is also the chance one of the GREAT crowd funded companies could pick it up. That would be better than an abrupt end.

I walked the Target aisle today and it was loaded with 9 POA and 7 POA Marvel 5/6 inch figures for their economy/kids line. Movie Vulture, Toon Nebula, Toon Carnage, Toon Yondu for $7. I'd buy every single one if they were exactly the same and 4 inches for $7. And multiples. I know most wouldn't but they are fun looking figures with more than 5 POA. Kills me to see two different styles of 6 inch figures and one for $7.
