Thor was certainly a disaster but how much did they invest in it, it is nothing comparred to GL. hasbro only put out a small amount just in case.

From a sales perspective I think the Tron line was a disaster. Those suckers didn't move until they went on deep clearance. I picked up the 3 man light jet only because it was $7 and change.

hasbro will NEVER regret having the Star Wars license. For every vintage figure that did not sell, 80 gazillion clone wars figures did. That line alone is making them plenty of money.
I think GI Joe is going to be fine, and there is PLENTY of interest in the 30th and Renegades figures both from adult collectors and kids (well they should like the Renegades figures anyway). GL was a total bust as was Thor. those figures just won't stop clogging pegs. Nobody wants them.

Relatively speaking GL 3.75" line is a bigger disaster than Thor line of the same scale.

Young justice 4" they are happy meal toys.
I would have to say the case distribution and character selection is all that choked Thor. If they had not made 9 different types of thor figures and spread supporting cast members out more evenly through the waves, we woul dhave seen much more thor.
