>>7327337> they bought all the companies who made good classic action figure toylines Again, you're just a nostalgiafag crying about long dead companies. Literally no one is stopping other companies from making action figures, EXCEPT for WalMart, Target, etc. Again, even Hasbro can't sell their GI Joes without having a major movie/game/etc.
Hasbro nor Mattel are cockblocking anyone from releasing their Mythic Legions, HACKS, Marauder Task Force, IAmElemental etc in mass market stores.
Guess why these lines are tiny and small and will continue to be tiny and small? All these companies would give up their reproduction organs to have their shit sold in WalMart and even sacrifice quality too. Like NECA's attempt, it's completely up to the retailers.
Yep, their tiny niche collector companies, but they're exactly the companies that would be competitors to Hasbro/Mattel... if they could even get into the market. Again, that's WalMart/Target's fault.
>they bought a company, thus they're a duopoly>Mattel and Hasbro are the biggest toy companies on market with the biggest inventory of toy brands.That doesn't make them a duopoly, tard.
read:
>a situation in which two suppliers dominate the market for a commodity or service.>In practice, the term is also used where two firms have dominant control over a market. Again, see what the best selling toys were.
There is no control if several other companies are able to outsell them, including the actual dominant toy company in the world: LEGO
>It also means >depicting small narrative incidentsLOL. There's nothing small about Mattel losing one of the largest IP in the world.
Its a HUGE impact, not just to Mattel, but to Spinmasters and all toy buyers in the world.
>something, I never denied You claimed it's not worthwhile, like Mattel hasn't shit its pants and its stock dropping like a rock, as if it doesn't matter to their tenuous position in a market it literally has no control over.
