Ok, I generally agree with you that Hasbro and Mattel already have a near-monopoly, but I have to say, NECA, while generally superior in paint and often in sculpting (although Hasbro's sculpts are rarely bad, just not quite as good), is roughly the same if not worse than Hasbro in terms of QC, and is generally outclassed by Hasbro in articulation.

But yeah, it is a bit of a problem that we have only two companies that get all the big/hot licenses. Not that there aren't other companies, but they're all way behind the big two.
