>>6729868>No, because Lego undoubtedly has a contract with Disney that guarantees Lego exclusive rights to produce buildable figures until the license expires.No, not "Could they?", it's "How did they?"
Hasbro makes what they call Hero Mashers, pic related.
That's pretty much a buildable action figure. Sure it has less parts then Lego, but it comes (at least partially) unassembled and you're suppose to build it, then buy more Hero Mashers and take them apart to build into new and fun characters.
So if buildable figures are separate from action figures in terms of licenses, and Lego has the license for buildable, then how was Hasbro able to make buildable figures? Is it a shared license?
>Those "Battle Packs" of four minifigs and a small build are the closest they get to that. The build is required to make the set not count as an action figure pack, because the build is what you're buying the set for and the minifigs are just there to accompany it wink wink.Yeah, but if it was long with extra bricks/parts and was labeled as "upgrades" then wouldn't that mean that what your buying is the pieces needed to make it a different X-Wing/Y-Wing/#-Wing and the figure/s is just there to put the finishing touches on the upgrade?
