I assumed the one-titan-per-year was mostly about cutting production costs rather than the financial burden on the fans.
Maybe I'm a little too cynical, but I can see Hasbro releasing/rereleasing two Titans in the same year.
It's more of an annual thing than anything else. Yeah cost is a thing but a titan is also meant to be the crown gem of the line. Plus he doesn't have a gimmick to go with titan masters or prime masters. Could they add a feature? Sure but the you got production costs on retooling and then it's not just simply a repaint or release It's gonna have to go through the safety's tests again which is more costs. It's more plausible to have one release than two.
For the sake of argument, there doesn't seem to be any indication that the PotP Predaking will have any specific Prime Master integration like the rest of the size classes. It still might when it comes out, but just so the point is made.
It seems, to me, that PotP is more of a catch-all line to finish the trilogy as opposed to a line that focuses entirely on the gimmick the way Titans Return did.
You're probably right, but I really want a Metroplex reissue.
*Edit: It has been brought to my attention the Predaking does, in fact, have Prime Master integration.
