Re: this is ridiculous already
I suspected Hot Toys has money issues. Most toy companies do. It's a tough racket. Despite their popularity and domination of the market; they're probably short on cash. And paying for tons of licensed properties and doing nothing with them is probably part of the reason.
So now they have to funnel their resources to the one licensed property that can make them money - which for the moment is Iron Man. They probably can't afford to spread their resources across a variety of licenses.
