If you were smart (you're not, so this is going to be one of those types of deals where you ignore what I'm about to say, double down on retardation, and truly believe that you have even a shred of hope in not looking like a complete dumbfuck) you would kind of understand where this trend is going. Why?
Let's shoot down what you just said, as quickly as possible. You say few artists have had more figures made based on one's art than Lee. So... Where? What figures are *specifically* made to emulate his ART, not his costume designs? See the distinction I'm drawing here? Figures made to represent an art style, versus just the costumes designed by the artist? Don't worry, the latter is set up at the end to also prove you wrong. Just wait for it.
I can show you dozens upon dozens of DC Direct/Collectible figures that were made specifically to look like the character jumped off the comic page in a purposeful emulation of a specific artist's style. Dodson, Swan, McGuiness, Bolland, on and on and on. The DKR and Dredd One:12's by Mezco, and also 3A's Dredd stuff. Hell, at this point Neca has even made a few comic characters that are styled specifically after one artist's style. Plus the aforementioned Hellboy figures from Mezco. Plus a few Spider-Man Classic figures made to emulate J Scott Campbell, Todd McFarlane, Mike Weiringo, and several others.
But, uh... Please, feel free to point out the oodles of figures that were made in Jim Lee's art style. You know... not his costume designs. Which, you may have realized by now, would mean that once again somebody like Byrne, and Ditko, and Kirby, and a whole litany of artists would have an insurmountable number of figures more than Lee representing the costumes they designed.
So now that the amount of toys made got shot down...
