The Fantastic Four aren't that lucky right now since their comic has been canceled, the movies haven't been that great, and the only FF cartoon series available for purchase is the one from 1994. The Fantastic Four need representation of some kind. A new animated series could pull in a lot of new fans and get people excited for new toys. Believe me, I want Hasbro to start making FF Legends. Especially if they gave us interchangeable parts to show off their powers in use like the Fantastic Four minimates from a few years ago did (I know they're from a different company but those minimates are still pretty cool). And more importantly, I NEED a new figure of The Thing.

I get what you are saying, I just don't think that ancillary media is all that necessary for selling FF figs. They aren't a completely unknown commodity and based on the excitement that Sue attracted, there are quite a few people anticipating and waiting for a rebirth. And that doesn't even touch the figs from the expanded FF tree that would be received equally well (if not to an even greater degree) such as Dr. Doom and Silver Surfer. But, of course, you are entitled to your opinion.
