>>6171930>just kill all the "other" Transformers sublines like those step changers and shit they had and doesn't only concentrate on a very small number of figures every year.Short answer: Less toy space, less brand power, better chance of being pushed out of stores. Gi Joe did exactly what you ask twice and both times it lead to them being pushed out of market. Another example is Marvel Legends before the soft relaunch with IM3. Taking away space makes a more collector market.
>In beast wars years we used to get like what 20 toys a year?At the start due to weak brand of the original TF near the end we had closer to 50 toys in a single year. and also each years added to each other. RiD and Armada continued this trend with a large amount of toys in single years.
Also what you are asking puts us on Takaras road. Where they make themselves 3-6 MPs a year half of which are repaints and retools. Almost all their sublines are just them taking Hasbro toys are reselling them with a different coat of paint/slight retooling and even then they are still way behind on staying up to speed with those.
Basically a smaller line but higher quality would mean:
1.would be harder to find/buy even online
2. very limited amount of characters and molds, even more so than now
3. a potential death of the brand when sales go bad one quarter
