In short, Disney is telling Hasbro to produce less toys is a thing people think is happening.
I've always heard that Disney is very controlling when it comes to what there licensees produce. But thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen it cited from an authoritative source, it's always been "something everyone knows." So I could be very off base in my core assumption. I wasn't trying to claim Disney being evil either, more that they have a different view of HasLab's purpose than the teams that are solely internal to Hasbro. It just seems like the most recent Marvel/Star Wars HasLabs have been moving away from the "impossible dream made possible" aspect that Hasbro likes to promote Haslab as. But I am working with a limited dataset and the bias of someone who judges other toylines principally by how well I can use the with Joe, so I could be completely off base with my conclusions.
If anyone does have sources they can recommend for the amount of control Disney has in telling a liscensee to make or not make something I would love to read/watch them.
