Hasbro killed the Selfie Series.

 Remember the Hasbro Selfie series? Well...

To be fair, it was VERY underwhelming. Sadly, this abrupt erasure came shortly after Hasbro jad mentioned inproving upon it and adding moe customization options. SDCC was their field test. 

As much as I criticized the actual selfie series, I believe in its potential. The execution was the disappointing part. This is partially due to Hasbro's non-universal engineering for their figures. With multiple ballpeg sizes even within versions of the same character, it limits the customization options for the selfie series. For example if I wanted to be in an Ironman body, I had to use a body made for the MCU and not based on the comments. If I wanted to be Iron Man I would rather have the 90s modular armor as my body but I'm stuck in a Robert Downey Jr body. If I wanted to be Spider-Man I would have liked to have the renew your vows body instead of the Tom Holland body. And that's just me sticking to one toy line This is not talking about me getting a Ghostbuster body then putting the the head on a Marvel Legends body or on a random rebel pilot body Etc. We didn't even get a chance at being on an Indiana Jones figure...
