So is there a price adjustment coming on the 6″ line? The interview only seems to indicate a price decrease for the 4″ figures. I have no interest in the 4″ line and will continue to skip the 6″ line at the $19.99 and higher price point. I have enjoyed your interviews though.
The only reason for the price decrease is because these aren’t selling. At all. My Targets haven’t even put out wave two because wave one is still clogging the pegs. Doc, maybe next time you speak to a Mattel rep you could mention that 5 points of articulation on a figure priced higher than Marvel Universe isn’t going to sell.
Since they are making the Justice League in this line, there is really no reason why they had to do these in scale with JLU. They should have gone 3 3/4 inch scale with GI Joe style articulation for the small line.
