Then we saw Episode One figures made in the same fashion as OT figures. As hype from Episode One died down, Hasbro went back to adding OT figures because they needed to keep their hardcore collector base.
I believe the 25th line can coexist with new movie figures; especially if the two are done with the same molds and styling. The kids will eat up all the movie figures and us adults will grab up the classic goodies.
Of course if Hasbro is only churning out re-paints and silly sub-groups (i.e. tiger ninja night force heroes) by the time the movie comes out, then this may all be a moot point.
I am liking that. Let the kids have all the movie figures and us old folks can have the 25th line...LOL
