I highly doubt Mattel will ever take legal action upon Warner Bros. Number one reason being when the license deal is expired, Warner Bros would give it too someone else, someone who hasn't tried to sue them. Mattel isn't going to do anything. Warner also owns DC Collectibles and as far as I know, DC collectibles doesn't make movie figures.

Also, you say that Mezco can make their figures because they cost so much and aren't a threat, where are you getting this information? By that Logic, Neca could just do the same considering their figures usually cost more then an average retail figure don't don't sell even anywhere close to the volume as Mattel nor are they in as many locations.

It might not work a 5th and 6th time because WB just might not want to rework another promotion or short term relation again for whatever reason they choose.

Mattel wouldn't take legal action against WB they'd take it against NECA themselves (or maybe WB would sue NECA) as they would hold them as the party that erred in that scenario.

Randy himself has explained on Twitter that the master rights apply to everything DC. The one:12 figures are sitting with an msrp of around $50 or so whereas NECA's offerings end up right in the same msrp bracket as Mattel's DC figures (these last three were sold at Toys R Us for only $20, the same price as Mattel's 6" toys). This is why NECA can make a 1/4 scale of pretty much any DC character they have the likeness for because they cost so much more that Mattel doesn't care.
