My opinion at this point would be to kill the line. I won't support the decisions that have been made, and I won't continue to spend good money on inferior products. I will likely pick up what I want at Five Below or Big Lots as those seem like the best deals on our line, and as someone who is only missing the unproduced samples and maybe two variants it I hard to say that I will no longer collect, but if something changes for the better I will be there to support it again.

I respect that and agree with not wanting to buy inferior products at a $13 price point. Personally I've found the $20 two packs better value and have bought them for characters previously unproduced. The same reasons I've bought ML. I'm a fan of action figures in general and love having physical reminders of my favorite comics, movies, games, and animation series. 3.75", while having a childhood nostalgic element, doesn't take as much real estate and have more vehicle/playset/display options.
No doubt, change is a necessity for the MU, be it better articulation, better price point, or both. The Star Wars 5 poa line has superior sculpting, less articulation, and for less money while still looking great for display. Perhaps MU could take a page there too. Superheroes have never been as popular as it is today and yet to have a drought in our scale only presses the issue. While I may not know the best practical route for MU, I do know I'd hate to see it sink with JOE this year. Any hiatus or 'rest' does not necessarily guarantee a revival or rebirth.
