I’m pretty sure these have already been sold out. But was wondering why wouldn’t they sell more than just 480? And why not in one of the Orlando Parks? They don’t even sell limited edition Magic Bands this low in quantity.
Yet they’ve sold Marvel merch in the parks plenty in the past.Selling these in the park would violate the contract. We've been over this.
Was it park-specific merch, or like Funko Pops? I'd imagine there'd be a difference.Yet they’ve sold Marvel merch in the parks plenty in the past.

Agreed. My point was just that it's possible generically selling a Spiderman toy in MK say, might not violate the contract.Do LE magic bands count?
Other than that no, but let’s be honest, most Marvel merch on MSHI isn’t park specific, either
Well yeah, they’re carefully skirting around what they can and can’t do.Agreed. My point was just that it's possible generically selling a Spiderman toy in MK say, might not violate the contract.
I feel like some of the higher end statues and what not in the MSHI shops are MCU.Well yeah, they’re carefully skirting around what they can and can’t do.
It’s all generic stuff that they sell, although, one could argue its exclusive in a way. They sell MCU stuff, which Universal cannot sell.
I just thought of something....I wonder if Thor has separate requirements specified in the contract, since Thor is basically an existing mythological god, and most of the other parts are existing as well.
I could see Disney being able to make a Thor attraction, but it would have to be different enough from the Marvel version....they WOULDN'T of course, but I think they have ability to

There's an implied duty of good faith in contract law. So even if brunette Thor and blond Loki popped up in the Norway pavilion with zero resemblance to Chris Helmsworth and Tom Huddleston ... Disney would still get sued out of the water.
No separate requirements in the contract for Thor because by 1989 an attempt at making a Thor TV show had bombed, no one anticipated the character would ever support his own movie.

To clarify - they would get sued if it resembled anything comic-related for Thor; but why couldn't they have an interpretation of Thor from Norse myth? I'd assume since they have the myth Thor in the stave church, it's fine.
That was one of the Hulk revival TV movies, right? Thor was a buff dude in a furry vest?

They’ve had a full Thor & Loki exhibit at Epcot for over a year, no lawsuits yet:I think any walk-around viking character named "Thor" would be inviting a lawsuit. A single item in the church would probably slide, but an entire exhibit dedicated to Thor, promoted as such? I bet at least a cease and desist letter gets sent.
But if they even mentioned anything unique to Marvel's version, they'd be done. Like the Satanic Temple suing the Sabrina producers, it's not that they used Baphomet, which is a public domain concept, it's that they used the image of the Temple's statue of B, which is copyrighted.They’ve had a full Thor & Loki exhibit at Epcot for over a year, no lawsuits yet:
