I was watching Kamen Rider Kiva on an airplane and the lady next to me asked me why I was watching Power Rangers. I wasn't really sure how to respond.
DC has a lot of good characters to choose from, it just seems like they're only focusing on stuff that has been in movies. |

Retailers aren't stuck on MMPR the general public is.
If Zeo,In Space etc were flying off store shelves they'd be asking for more, heck if MM Pink was the top selling Legacy figure they'd want more of her too. And it isn't just PR notice how the last two TMNT shows both ended with a big crossover with the 80s cartoon turtles? I honestly wonder how Hasbro has made both Marvel Legends and the Star Wars Black Series successful when both Bandai and Mattel have tried and failed with the collector figure market. *The Thundercats line barely lasted a year, MOTUC went online only and disappeared from retail and still got canceled same with DCUC and now both the PR Legacy and DC Multiverse lines aren't doing too well from what I've heard. * What's their secret Black Magic? Yeah I still remember buying MP Skywarp on clearance for 30$ from Walmart just wish child me had had the foresight to snag the original MP Optimus Prime when he went on clearance there years ago. THAT - or they tie it in to movie releases. So you have two waves of "Marvel Legends", along with "Black Panther - Marvel Legends", and then the next Marvel movie has it's Marvel Legends assortment knocking on the door. The movies are runaway successes, every single time, and for the most part, it's reflected in toy sales (except Guardians of the Galaxy, I don't think ANYONE bought those). Mattel has a piss poor reputation when it comes to distribution. Anyone who bothered to collect the 2003 MOTU line can tell you the days of half an aisle clogged with nothing but He-Man and Skeletor figures, because the distribution was like 4 He-Man, 3 Skeletor, and 1 of the figure everyone wanted.
