Just read that Hasbro has pulled the plug on their Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe lines. They plan on focusing on movie related Marvel figures and toys instead of the comics versions which has me wondering if this could pave the way for Figures Toy Co. to aquire the rights to produce 8" scale Re-Mego Marvel Universe figures?

Re: The Marvel Universe 3.75 inch line: Apparently Hasbro claim the figures will be the same as the MU line, but they're just renaming the MU brand "Avengers".
For Marvel Universe fans, changes are coming in 2014. This line will be re-christened simply the Avengers line. The figures will stay they same, same style, same articulation, but they will no longer be called Marvel Universe. One of the reasons for this change is they feel this re-branding will help with the Marvel Universe distribution problems. Which makes sense as retailers will relate a line named Avengers more to the movies and animated properties that they like to sell product for.

By me the Marvel Universe seems to show up about every 2 to 3 waves and marvel legends are worse, I think the pricing on these are causing the issue IMO they are too high for many people to go all out on the lines and shops are getting stuck with them on the shelves for ages, I see the same with the movie lines though, the odd few characters sell but the rest just sit there, I think kids and parents may go for the new 5 POA figures at the cheaper priceCheck out my Electronic Mag here Psycho Styrene Modeling MagazineComment

Plus they focus on the same core characters, then do a bunch of older characters. Where are the new characters? Where are the kids from Wolverine and the X-Men? The Runaways?
Sure I want the Defenders, Alpha Flight, The New Mutants, and the New Warriors, but does Batroc really deserve a figure before Quentin Quire or Kid Loki?Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

besides that, Batroc is in Captain America Winter Soldier, so he will have some crossover appeal.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment
