IIRC Mythic Legions was even marketed with the implication that they'd play nice with MotUC (not to mention the Four Horsemen capitalizing on the popularity and relative fame they had gained working on that line...not that they were unknowns before, but MotUC pushed them to a new level).
Did no one buy Marauders stuff because we already had GI Joe? Once again it was marketed in not-so-many-words as a complement to GI Joe, which has now morphed into a pseudo-replacement.
Did Eagle Force fail to fund because we already had GI Joe and Marauders? Was there really a massive untapped market for Eagle Force specifically (in a format different from it's original incarnation) that pushed that line well over the top? Or was it a big contributor that they were going to be directly compatible with Joes, Marauders, etc...?
Yes, because all those offerings were *better* than what was then-available. Simply up-sizing these to 6" does not in any way, shape, or form make them equal to or more appealing than MotUs and MyLegs; and *that's* the only self-fooling talk happening in this thread, mate.
