Oh, I'm not saying it can't be done. I just don't think in today's market with material costs being what they are, that it is economically feasible at mass retail. Couple that with the idea that "the main character drives the sales" that is so ingrained with toy companies' marketing strategies, and it's easy to see why no one really does what you're suggesting anymore.

Or it could be that after three decades of toy collecting, I'm too jaded. Considering how many years that I've seen requests for "more villains, more supporting characters, etc.", if it could be done that way I have to believe someone would have done it by now.

And I guess you missed the "Amazing Fantasy" joke. I was trying to be clever and failed, apparently.
