There was less MOTU nostalgia in 200X, Mattel over did the Skeletor and He-Man variants to the point that finding any other character in stores was a chore, IIRC.

Retail stock questionable stuff all the time that lacks current media. Look at Target's retro MEGO stuff. Some of those 8" figures...limited appeal. Retro "Action Jackson". Retailers fudging suck anymore, anyway. This whole action figure thing is dying at retail, probably faster than we realize.
