to all of the toys for adults supporters:
i am quite sure that the market share for that demographic is quite small given the entire scope of what a toy company like hasbro has projected in toy sales.
the types of toys that many of you are referring to are a niche market at best. kind of like the equipment that many of us run is niche and a very small part of the overall ht market.
this movie failed to be kid friendly. although i am quite sure that hasbro had every intent to sell as many toys as possible to the kids that did endure this movie. but lets not be ridiculous and think that hasbro or mcfarlane toys is banking on millions of adults to buy complex niche market toys in order to pad their bottom line. in this country, generally speaking, toys and comics are for kids. if this were japan i might give someone a little more leeway in that argument.
and this is coming from someone who still reads comics and manga.
