No, Animated did not get pushed back for this. It got pushed back because Hasbro is taking the time to make better toys. Or maybe its like what I have been saying and Hasbro knows it wont sell so they’re putting it off and stating safe by repainting movie toys.

So far, the only ones that I know of who aren't getting the Premium treatment yet, is Bonecusher, and Brawl. Wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro repainted them into Premiums, and it also wouldn't surprise me if the decided to repaint more toys from this movie as well.

Not even the Leader Brawl? Thats too bad.

The movie line is being extended because it's hot, and Hasbro are focussing on rereleasing characters that were in the film because they sell a lot better. Animated just won't come out for a while, which is fine because it will help to build demand and in the meantime kids can always get movie figures to tide them over. In other words- everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. Animated will be awesome, but those of us who got in sharp on the movie toys will be playing the waiting game for a while.

nekoman, you honestly believe that the hasbro deciaion makers (whoever they are) are shaking in their boots saying 'oh dear the animation toys just arent going to sell'.
At which point in the product development do you think they came to that realisation? only once they had already made 10,000 of each (or however many they make initially), when its a bit late to do much about it.
There is no reason whatsoever to imagine that hasbro are feeling that the animation toys wont sell. The only thing i can imagine that would persuade me is that a large experiment was conducted, hasro got about 100 kids aged 7-10, put them in a big room with a massive set of movie toys and a massive set of animation toys (also have teh animation episodes running, remember they cant watch the movie) and the kids simply ignored the animation toys and played with the movie ones. that might cause the hasbro decision makers to worry.
I think you maybe pushing a rather large assertion without any evidence.
