How does the manufacturer of a Spider-Man comic book action figure (e.g., Hasbro, Toy Biz) affect its value and desirability?

Different manufacturers have different reputations for quality, detail, and availability. Toy Biz, especially figures from the 90s and early 2000s, is highly regarded. Hasbro's more recent lines are generally widely available and offer good value. The manufacturer's reputation for quality control, articulation, and accuracy to the comic book source material strongly influences value.
