>>7680009>Hasbro is clearly in a competition with Figuarts/Mafex(RIP)/Bandai model kits for the 6 inch scale figure market which is pushing them to use better techniques and put more effort into the design of the individual figures as the first Black Series were quality-wise just enlarged TVCs if not much worsethat's a lot of wrong beliefs.
Way different market and ignores how/where the techniques came frome.
PRobably the only time i've ever seen Hasbro acknowledge a competitor's stiff was with the Microman figures, and they really didn't do anything about it.
oh, and Toy Biz.... And Kenner.
Because they took over what these companies were producing.
