. So what's to stop them giving the original Stan Winston Studios costumes and props to someone like ADI or KNB and just saying "make this"?
The creature studios would technically own the pieces they make, but it depends on contracts.
When you're work for hire, the end output belongs to the person hiring you. But the materials you used to get there are still yours. The studio could have it that the props are handed over to them, but this never seems to be the case.
ADI reused molds for their Aliens to save time and money on the AvP movies, but it's not like they were forced by Fox to provide them for free
