TF4 will be a big turning point, but I'm not entirely convinced they can strike gold 3 times in a row.

Or maybe he just skimmed the market research and just grabbed the two characters as the major sellers, disregarding the ACTUAL data. I say "market research", of course, with some irony: I am pretty certain, at this point in time, that Hasbro has no idea what market research actually means. I'm not sure they have any idea of which figures even sell, in any given line.
If they could just SKU the characters differently, and KEEP TRACK of the sales, we might see an end to the BB fetish.
BB fetish... egad! Just had the most horrific mental image of the literal meaning of that term! Why hasn't anyone directed that movie?

Only to bring him back in TF5 as JC BB so they can tap into some of that christian book/toy store money.
