Questions

Does Hasbro have access to the Marvel-created human characters from the original Transformers comic-book run in the 80's? Characters like Circuit Breaker, Rapture, Thunderpunch, Dynamo, and Death's Head (the original appeared in the Transformers UK book)--who actually owns the IP, Hasbro or Marvel? And if you do have access to them, what are chances of 3.75" or 6" figures for these characters?
What will become of the non-winning entries in the recent Marvel Legends 2-Pack poll? And will this list of characters see release or at least a similar contest/poll in the Marvel Universe line?
With future waves of Marvel Universe having a stand packed with them is there any chance you'll be selling JUST the stands to go with the figures that have already been distributed? Even if they're only at HTS that would be better than nothing.
