Well folks it is time for the end of summer reset and a moment of reflection, on what s working and what is not.
1.Marvel Handful of Heroes For the low price of 6.99-8.99.you get 8 small plastic marvel figures ala army man style. Outrageously overpriced one of the biggest peg cloggers of all time. 2. Green Lantern Anything Between the Movie Masters epically failing.1 wave out of 5 making it to retail and a build a figure that looks like mucus gone array. The small figures seem very much overproduced and with out any real interest. Dc universe classics green lantern wave was a bad idea and the figures are already being clearanced out. They were also a big nail in the coffin of Dc Universe. 3.DC Universe Classics With the recent announcement that next years cases will have mom friendly assortments and the Club Infinite Earths dead in the water, it looks like the end for this line. Perhaps if they offered figures that weren’t just put out by DC Direct, they would have had a chance… 4.Star Wars Vintage With hardly any distribution and an entire wave being moved to next year it looks bad for a line that is pinning its hopes on the release of “The Phantom Menace in 3d” it looks grim for this toy staple. Do you ever wonder if Hasbro regrets having three toy lines? 5. GI Joe With the movie being moved up the thirtieth anniversary will undoubtly be cut short. In addition the canceling of Renegades makes the cartoon figures seem destined to be peg warmers without non-collector support. If you don’t like any on the list you can replace it with the epic failure of either UFC or WWE this year.

6. when my SDCC fell off the shelf and my dog chewed off the head.
(ok this didn't happen, but if it did it would be the biggest disaster of all)

4) and 5) are far from being toy disasters.
The Green Lantern movie line was a good choice. That had epic fail written all over it from day one. |

I'm just glad everybody got a Zarana that wanted one. That could have been a disaster...

I agree here......GI Joe gets re-branded...30th will come in one form or another. The SW vintage line suffered from the Hasbro habit of infinite revisions........Until they clearance the clones and sandtroopers..this line is stalled. Even future revisions have the sandtroopers and clones...crazy.

How can you call WWE a near disaster? At my stores theres a huge section that always rolls over. The only ones that don't are the Legends. That should have been an online offering, which is what they're doing with it next year.
