So Hasbro says lets make some spiderman figures do some research and for argument sake lets say their is 100 different costumes some popular than others, but they will mostly focus on getting new costumes done like BT ,FF , BC, Classic, IRN, spideies. So its down to money really how much can we make and what would be cheap to make. the best toy company i think at this time is likely to be Hot-toys simply because they start fresh from each new character okay maybe not their main bodies but i haven't seen a double hot-toys figure yet.

Just curious to know what your criteria for best toy company is. Because if its based on actual cost metrics and operating income...yeah Hot Toys isn't even in the same league as Hasbro.

Hasbro is best at bringing an affordable product to a worldwide consumer base. Otherwise, like Lord Marvel's title says: "You've got to pay to play!". And that's where the rise in third party suppliers comes into play. Gotta have that comic/movie/cartoon/game accurate take on a character you like? Third party's got'em...and they are expensive.
