my daughter, like many peoples daughters, loves Elsa. So when it was time for her to pick out a figure, she picked Elsa. She didn't care at all that there wasn't a Frozen playset, and she doesn't care that she can't play the Incredibles playset as Elsa. If Disney didn't make an Elsa figure (or waited until they decided to make a Frozen playet) that would be money they didn't get. Same goes for my son and Agent P.
So based on this small sample size, you didn't buy 1 figure toybox only figure, and I bought two. So Disney is still up $13.
The reason Toy box exist has been explained, they had to convince Lasseter that it wasn't the properties mixing, but a kid playing with toys, like in the Toy Story movies.
But once you put Woody in Radiator Springs, it's not a toy box anymore, its Woody going Turbo.
