>>9466266>The only reason Hasbro moved away from 1:18 is simply to funnel its fans into buying the more expensive figures for more revenue.Why are you a navel-gazing retard who thinks you can speak for Hasbro while being completely wrong? If people were buying them in sufficient quantity, they would continue to sell them. ESPECIALLY today when shipping prices have gone from about $3k per container to over $30k.
SO MANY mouth breathing knuckle dragging morons here who just whine and bitch and act like "experts" when you completely ignore ALL facts that don't support your bullshit theories or wishes.
It's the cost of LABOR that killed this line. Assembling the articulation added to the overall cost, and before the line died it was $14 to $16 per figure, sitting next to a $20 6-inch Marvel Legend. How many times do you insipid retards need to be told that the Gift-Givers and kids are the biggest market, NOT us, the adult collectors? Just because YOU bought them doesn't mean they sold enough to justify production.
Fucking hell, you're surrounded by information but choose to be willfully ignorant about your own damn hobby. Look into what's actually involved in manufacturing these toys, along with every other aspect from licensing, distribution, etc.
A super articulated 3.75in line is just not retail-friendly, period. Costs have dramatically changed.
