>>10929036To answer your question, I think Hasbro has two problems:
1) It's trying (and failing) to navigate shifting cultural attitudes that insist "sexy women = bad" and any sex appeal in children's products is tantamount to child abuse.
2) Many of its toy products are rapidly transitioning from child to adult audiences. Even if Marvel Legends began as a kid's toyline (debatable), and is still declared to be one, it functions as an adult product, sold directly to "collectors," often at premium prices.
Furthermore, the lack of competent leadership has likely kept the various toy divisions from even acknowledging these issues, to say nothing of actually reckoning with them.
It wouldn't even surprise me to learn that Goblin Queen was sculpted for adults, painted for children, sold to both, and marketed to neither.
