What a great idea ! ....
They were able to do it with Apollo, so why not ?
You have to buy a license from SM, and they need to encode it.
They did the Apollo one when he was for sale at thier site. Anton had his usual falling out with them, and they held back on releasing it as a result. almost a year later, once Apollo became a freebie, I was talking with one of the SM developers, and it came up. He asked what O thought, and I told them that since Anton was pretty much gone again, and Apollo was a freebie, it wouldn't hurt SM at all to release it, but they would look like heroes supporting a free character like that.
They discussed it internally, and a month later, they released it.
I have no idea if my input helped it, or if it just bubbled it up enough for them to finally move on lot, but evidently there are a lot of required man hours for faceroom support, which is why it costs a LOT to have done.
I don't think you'll see it for any other free character at all, unless its a buyout from SM, and released by them as a promo thing.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
