The theory that they can't (or don't want to) show figures they aren't licensed to sell in the States makes a lot of sense.
Exactly. They don't want to risk losing the license amd getting sued for breach of contract.
I'm sure Sideshow is watching every move they make.
I vaguely remember them confirming this on a stream at one point. I may be wrong though. They’re basically not allowed to.
It's money for them to be sole distributor and retailer for their products
But I guarantee you that the world wide licensing fees that Hot Toys is paying to Warner Bros and Disney are ASTRONOMICAL.
I believe it. Warner Bros Discoverys bid for the NBA streaming rights was rejected
Because it would get more eyes on their products? So many nerds posting on social media would surely be good free marketing.
There is a good chance that it is contractual. They only showed Paul and MJ, which are the only two 1/6 figures they have been licensed to sell to western markets.
Bingo!
My guess is that they Disney license alone is over seven figures a year.
A most logical inference given the correlation.
That's understandable but I was speaking more generally rather than just SDCC.
I think inart will be at ChinaJoy event and ACGHK(maybe), maybe showing more as well
Incorrect, event is from 7pm-9:30pm local time in San Diego, which is on Pacific Time (US west coast).
