McFarlane Toys and the Most Improved Manufacturers of 1996

When I got my hands on the 1996 McFarlane Toys catalog (last mentioned here) it was as part of a packet of materials: a folder loaded with single sheets and the catalog. Well, here’s just one of those sheets that was in the folder.

What I find unusual is that the sheet fails to list Hasbro or Kenner. Parker Brothers is listed, which by then was under the Hasbro umbrella, but the failure to list a giant like Hasbro makes me ask: Did Hasbro see an even greater percentage improvement that McFarlane Toys between 1994 and 1995?
