I think the pivot is logical. Hot Toys now have a plethora of fully-produced designs to leverage and adapt to new concepts, repaints, and non-canon designs. The Midas armor is getting a re-release, they're looking at Venomized characters, and they have at least 3 videogames lines that remain active between Spider-Man, Future Fight, and Arkham.
Without the big stream of new films for comics stuff, it makes sense they would look to build the comic figures and take some market share away from Sideshow and whoever else is still in the game.
Star Wars is also getting a similar treatment as evidence by the Clone Wars items and some of the recent special releases/repaints.
