Burnt and Hasbro go hand in hand whenever it comes distribution and/or production.
Either it's pathetic distribution or an overabundance of everything. They never learned their lesson after Episode 1.
The reason this wouldn't do well, IMHO, is because..
1) It's from a scene that lasted all of 5 seconds. It wouldn't fit any diorama.
2) They could never scale it right.
3) What would anyone do with it? It's a bland beast.
4) Hasbro hasn't got the best of luck when it comes to AOTC Beasts. The Reek collected dust, as did the Nexu, even after the packaging variation scam they pulled to sell more, and the Acklay was pretty scarce all over, because maybe they knew beasts wouldn't sell?
I understand producing Arena beasts because..they made an arena too. Wampa, Tauntauns, sure. They made a Hoth playset, so that works.
But a Aiwha as a stand alone beast? Not too practical if ya ask me. It's really dull, white/green?
Besides, this would fall in line with the rest of the TRU crappy exclusives, like the Mace 12" with his unlevel eyes. No, that wasn't a paint flaw, his head sculpt was flawed to where his eyes were molded on two different heights. Also, the TRU Landspeeder that dealers have been selling at conventions for $9.99 or less because supply overmet demand.
I guess they faired well with like 12" Leia w/ Carbonite and that 12" w/ Tauntaun.
But, I don't wanna dash anyones dreams. This just probably won't been seen outside of someones custom shop.
