@nightlight Logic doesn't dictate that they'd necessarily sell better. What about collectors, or (yes, they exist) fans of the old style designs? Pleasing one group of people might easily alienate another, more profitable one. I'm guessing Hasbro has already DONE that groundwork, otherwise they probably would have changed up the designs to be more show like. That's probably the reason between their schizophrenic adherence to the old designs whilst producing the blind-bag non-brushables in the new style. That just happens to be the compromise that leads to maximised profits. I don't think Hasbro cares about the knockoff stuff because they don't intend to operate in that market. It would probably cost them more to buy store space and produce, test and market stuff for the brony audience than their stats say that they'd make.
