Who at Hasbro is responsible for the HUGE increase in quality w/ the POTJ line?

The guy's name was Fred. He now works for Burger King. He's the genius behind The King.

Well Hasbro needs to bring back Fred.

Fred's dead. Baby - Fred's dead......

They should put them back in charge, all the Droids from AOTC and ROTS wilt after 6 seconds, my Security Droid hasn't wilted even after 6 years. Yet, Hasbro is still trying to "perfect" a Battle Droid.

Really, how hard would it be to use the same plastic formula and just take away the lever? It's the perfect mix of sturdiness and flexibility as well as just an awesome sculpt with awesome paint detail. It's only flaw is the "quick draw" lever.

Hasbro's financial crisis from Ep 1's merchandising problems eventually took its toll on the company and in '02 Hasbro folded the Galoob and Kenner divisions, bringing key players back to Rhode Island but changing the nature of the beast forever.

The materials isn't as simple as you think, between legal fears and factory issues and chemical changes, Hasbro has a lot to juggle and it doesn't come out exactly how they'd prefer.
