I know a few lower level buddies who work at certain large toy companies and they know the bosses are not very happy with the sales of certain figures and are forced to lose money on figures they know will not sell, but are handicapped by progressiveness and the license holder(s).

I tried to keep it as vague as possible as I know what usually happens when certain ideology is challenged and hope it does not get deleted.

Or people just bought the Black Panther figures, lol. It's not like Hasbro hasn't had female or minority figures that pegwarmed in the past.

If we are using the argument that Hasbro is only pretending the Black Panther Legends sold well because of politics, that still wouldn't explain why they did a second wave when the white heroes generally haven't gotten those either.
