Joe Sigma, G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary, etc.)." They also appear to recognize when there is some demand. That's how we got more Transformers classics/universe figures.
"None of their recent (2005-2010) toylines have a longevity of 4 years + besides Star Wars. . .To counter-act that from happening why not make each toyline better based on consumer input to see better sales? " Agreed. There's only so much that can be blamed on the economy. There's a penetration and distribution issue. My local Walmart has had the same figures on the shelf since right after Christmas. This includes EVERY LINE--Marvel Universe, GI Joe and Transformers. The exception: Star Wars. And those toys moved when the new shipment came in.
I have real doubts this Marvel Universe line has any more staying power. I can see the MU line folding in the coming months, and the movie lines being the only method by which we'll receive any more 3 3/4 Marvel figures.
On there defense the g.i.joe 25th line was only intended to be 2 box sets and 3 waves of 5 carded figures.25 figures= 25th anniversary.They kept it going brcause of demmand.
