When people say that they want, and state their reasons to why they think it's a good idea to release something, or a bad idea not to release something, they aren't assigning blame.
Not being hot toys fault doesn't change the fact that a lot of people want the figure.
It seems to be a figure that would be a good sell. I don't believe anyone thinks that Hot Toys is not releasing this figure to be mean. There must be a reason (be it poor judgment in believing it will not sell, good judgment in believing it will not sell (and we are delusional thinking it will), some problem with the prototype, with the license, with the approval, etc...).
I for instance, try to not be certain of thing I have no real knowledge, so, I apologize in advance if you guys do, but I see no clarity in the issue, unless it is stated by hot toys itself (sorry for not taking others certainty as a sure thing).
And, in the end, for several valid reasons (be it not having an actual answer or not wanting to hurt their partners), it is quite possible that we will never have a definitive answer.
So, you might be right, Faora, I do believe there is a strong possibility that it is a license problem (based on my own instincts and some logical thinking), but it might be something else. And I do agree that it probably isn't their fault (not that it matter, IMO).
