Marvel, as an art toy producer, operates primarily through collaborations with established designers, brands, and collectible toy companies rather than producing art toys directly. The company licenses its iconic characters—such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men—to high-end collectible brands like Medicom Toy (BE@RBRICK), Hot Toys, Funko, Kidrobot, and Mighty Jaxx, among others. These partnerships result in limited-edition figures, stylized vinyl toys, and high-quality statues that appeal to both comic book fans and designer toy collectors.
