They're going to re-run Lobo at the higher price with the selling point being "the paint apps it should have had in the first fucking place", won't they? Because that toy was some Hasbro-tier cost-cutting shit. They continue to make shit no one buys(Shriek Unmasked will forever be a bald white man clogging your clearance aisles, along with solid gold Wonder Woman), more variants of 2 people, no guns for anyone... WB seems clueless on what characters should be made.
Spawn is sort of just a thing that not many people really care about anymore. Outside of MK11 he's a bit forgotten & irrelevant now with his comic being a confusing mess, if you even know it's in print. The line's been "a few classic characters", "more Spawn variations" and "some new guys you don't care about".
As for MK11, what a waste. Half of it being Spawn suit variants. Yay, Joker with barely-mobile shoulders. 1/5 of the actual character roster with most of the big names not getting toys. Most guest characters being Neca licenses.
Doom? Here's your main guy, a repaint, the black character the fans hated, the classic Doomguy but it's the Eternal version instead, a Hasbro pony thing and 1 monster but it's the new monster, not a classic. A licensed so wasted they may as well have let Neca make it.
Most of the other licenses he gets piddle out fast if they got noticed at all. This "character shave to look sideways" shit made a lot of toys off-putting & headed to discount racks. Hell, I can get so many discounted on Amazon what's the point of paying full price?
The main saving grace are Chinese outfits like Maxbird which make stellar capes & accessory packs for a lot of these toys. But like 3rd party TFs you're paying out the ass to beautify retail toys that are underdone, usually at the cost or more of the toy's retail price. Just funny how 2 girls in China working as a small outfit are totally outdoing Todd's own efforts on these toys though, which has to piss him off.
