It also happens in the reverse: Walmart and TRU send large quantities of remaindered Black figures to stores in "Black" areas - I hit mamny of those stores on Long Island NY and it's very obvious which stores are designated "Colored".

Although I totally concede that this figure has a technically unique sculpt and good accessories, I'm just sorry to say that his overall costume design IS REALLY NOT THAT ATTRACTIVE, it simply DOESN'T move me......OR a lot of other fanboys out there who've seen this figure onhand (again, with all due respect to George Perez and other Titans / Cyborg purists out there). The fact that he's NOT flying off the shelves is indicative of this, at least in the comics/toy stores around here in the NJ/NYC area. His animated Blue version in the recent TEEN TITANS cartoon is a much more cooler design, BUT of course it cannot be considered under the DCU CLASSICs line........
