I'm of the thinking they have deals in place... like "must do X amount of products if you want the license" kind of thing.
Example being Marvel says they want at least 10 figures plus a high dollar item if Hot Toys wants the license (random numbers, I know nothing for certain). The Helicarrier might not be fan demanded (its interesting- not sure how many people will buy it though) but it is a surprise and it might fulfill the demands of the studio.
