Mattel pissed me off. I loved the 2002 series by the Four Horseman but Mattel flooded the market with He-mans and Skeletors and the line quickly died so the Four Horseman took the license to Neca to produce statues. What is Mattel thinking when they will just kill another line by overproducing He-Mans and the other characters will be short-packed.
Mattel have faced similar complaints with the Superman and Batman figures in their DCSH/DC Universe line, the main hero figures are overpacked and as a result the villains are increasingly difficult to find unless you turn to online retailers.
They have said they're going to address this issue in 2008 though because they're aware of the problem collectors are having.
They may do the same with a Heman line.
