It's hard to say just what sort of a loop the movie put on plans but we've seen even Hasbro's strongest brands get knocked for a loop when a movie got in the way of plans. Transformers Prime ended with a cartoon series but kids couldn't buy Transformers Prime toys until long after the cartoon series started because of Dark of the Moon toys. Marvel Universe puts out some cool figures but Marvel Universe could be heck to find with movie toys being the focus of many retailers.
Personally a wave or two of something like the Ultimate figures each year and I could be happy. Just seems like Hasbro has to dip deeper and deeper into the B list and obscure characters for something new in the current style. Things might slow down but at some point we have a toy line for GI Joe 3 and we have whatever Hasbro has planned but can't unveil until Toy Fair. Sometimes Hasbro can really surprise you like when I wasn't expecting the amazing cool Waspinator they unveiled at Comic Con. |

Yup. Just give me 20 - 24 good figures a year and I'm happy. I'd rather have that than a glut of Retaliation Wave 1-esque disasters.
I mean, crap, I've still got 16 figures I'm legitimately excited for coming this year in the middle of this "drought." I suspect that's more than any toy collector could say these days, given the downturn in quality of TF and the ridiculousness of SW. |
