It would probably mean less figures on the shelves in the end since they would only order cases of singles instead of both singles and comic packs at the same time. A case of singles and a case of comic packs is better than just a case of singles any day as far as numbers are concerned.
As for Nemesis Enforcer, I seem to remember him being high on the mail-in poll at one point. I wouldn't be surprised if several of the figures on the list were already in development when the list was made (Billy please). Hasbro probably saw this as a desire for him so they made or are making a figure if it wasn't in development because they think that is what we want. While Nemesis Enforcer isn't getting much love here doesn't mean a lot more people hate him than like him, although it is very possible.
Until some information from other sources or this is from a source that has been right before I think we should take this list with a grain of salt. Some of the packs seem very odd at best.
Hmm, I'm not so sure I agree with this. The comic 2 packs are larger & wider and take up way more room on toy shelves then devoting two hooks to single pack figures. I think it is more about using figures already released and using some new paint applications and packing them with a new figure forcing us to buy two figures for just the one we really want or need for our collections. Hasbro saves a lot of money by using this tactic and makes more money in the process. On the other hand, Perhaps they just want to get the comics in the hands of younger consumers hoping they help increase their interest. When all said and done, the sales of the single packs seem to be doing just fine and If this list is accurate, I will miss seeing a Falcon, Tripwire & Iron Grenadier packaged with the beautiful painted card art. Heads up to Hasbro, I usually buy 2 of each figure of the single packs. One to open and one to keep in the package but the comic packs give no reason for carded versions. So, there may be missed opportunities there and somehow I don't think I'm the only collector out there that does this.
