Prior to regaining the movie rights for FF, it seemed as though Marvel was purposely trying to diminish the property in cancelling the book, an act that coincided with the last film reboot. Whether or not the speculated reasons were true regarding the FF being out of step with modern readers and sensibilities, the franchisee does seem to have suffered some injury and seems to be less of a darling when you talk to comic-movie fans. I guess we'll see when the deluge of product placement arrives in tow with the FF MCU debut.

I didn't miss it, but it literally is how I'm going to approach Marvel Legends now. Unless a sale or the price miraculously comes back down, it's X-Men and Spider-Man stuff only.

As for the F4, they're a hard sell, mostly because of the Fox stuff and because the last attempt at bringing them to the silver screen was so terrible. But I think they're MCU stock will be on the rise if it hasn't started already.

Hell, they could even just do a generic set of dioramas that would work across all of their lines. A jungle/forest set-up would work for all of them. A space ship based one would be compatible with Power Rangers, Star Wars, and Marvel. Streets or alley ways could work for any line.

Generic dioramas could work just because of cross appeal. But I don't know if there's enough interest for anything else too specific. I'd also be worried Hasbro's stuff would be a bit "cheap" compared to other companies' offerings not to mention the projects from the much more quality DIY diorama makers, though.
