As Rich and I both believe, new characters are great ONLY if Hasbro can design them well and EXECUTE them well.
What good is a 'new' character when they get gorilla arms, no articulation or a horrible sculpt?
Character is NOT good enough. The real model of them has to be just as good or better. Blackout. Great idea. Decent enough design (too many metal components). Horrible execution (gorilla arms, goofy look on his face, etc). Therefore, waste of plastic, resources and time. Do it right the first time! (but then, how do you get repeat customers if it's done right? Car industry? Always new stuff for the new models!
