- LucasFilms & Industrial Lights and Sound (movie studio and special effects department)
- Hasbro (toy company)

That's it. Toy wise?

Mattel, Bandai, PlayMates, McFarlane, off-brands

Movie studio wise?

Thousands.

Comic wise?

DC, Dark Horse, IDW Publishing, Image, Valiant

Hardly a monopoly. Just an unstoppable juggernaut.
