As in "never work in the industry again" kinda bad.
Possibly Lawsuit Bad....I cant imagine Hsbro is happy with that noise.




Not so!
Disney, for all their flaws, is crazy about quality- they want their stuff to only be top quality since it represents them- if people think 'cheap crap" from a Disney product, they think that of Disney itself.
Crappy quality is a messy (and public) lawsuit waiting to happen too...recalls and such being a PR nightmare for a company like Disney.

It's the small silver lining in their having bought Marvel.
Following that line of thought, Hasbro is where Lucasfilm chooses to keep it's Star Wars liscence- that says a lot about quality to non-collectors.

Besides, we know nothing of Mattel's agreements with Warner Brothers- there are likely prohibitions from Mattel handling other superhero properties next to theirs- after all, how would WB know they were getting the top quality and marketing if their competition was being made by the same people?
WB are not the people to piss off either.
First, its an assumption that this is actually Vonner. There is no reason to believe one way or another. In the end, its none of our business - unless you have a spare $900. Otherwise, it is just speculation. (I will say that it looks like it is him only because the seller sold a stroller a while back with that name - an odd thing to sell if you were going to make up a name). It is also speculation to assume he doesn't have permission to sell these figures. Most companies are VERY protective about what you can take with you when you leave the grounds. Certainly he could have snuck it out but there are much quieter ways of selling an illegal toy than ebay! They may have given him the figures as a parting gift or representation of his work to show other companies.

About Disney, I have seen plenty of examples of both products that are very well crafted and others that are terrible - all with the Disney logo on them. Fair warning - I'm a Disney enthusiast. That said, stuff I've bought from both the theme parks or in stores have been hit and miss. Some have held up for ages; others didn't get home from the store. I make no assumptions about quality of their licensees. I only assume that the profit margin for Disney is great.
