Little (big) question regarding the Disney LE dolls but also the classic versions
I've always wondered. Who actually produces the Disney Limited edition dolls? Is it Disney Merchandising who creates and design the dolls themselves in-house and they sub-contract out to a company who has all the infrastructure in place to deliver the dolls as proscribed by the company? Or is it Mattel? I know Mattel have the license to produce their own versions which they hold the right to sell independently (which has now run out and soon to given to Bandai). Who actually makes the ones we find in the Disney Stores? Who has that responsibility? Is it also Mattel-But under a different arrangement and set up? Or is it Disney in-house where in which they do the designing & a toy factory in China produces the final product?
