Hasbro and George Lucas are 99% at fault for the toys going to shit. Disney only mandated ST characters get made. Lucas wanted the shitty cut down articulation, Hasbro raised the prices like mad.
Look at this shit. 2011. Terrible cape and ugly hip joint cuts, because Lucas did not want them to look like GI Joes. The same company that makes GI Joe hips made this trainwreck because Lucas demanded it. And Hasbro has become so accustomed to crap like this they keep doing it, because you fuckers buy it.
Throw the fanboys into the blame pile, because they let this happen. They encouraged it by purchasing every toy and ever re-release. Now the market is so flooded they don't need to make Darth Vader yet we'll see 3-4 new ones by 2020. Then these same fans blame Disney because they'd never pin it on the shit toy company they love so much.
Disney bought a dying entity. If it weren't dying, Lucas wouldn't have been so quick to run.
