I've got another one!

In recent years, tie-in comics from both Devil's Due Press and IDW Comics have featured characters who don't wear outfits that match the toys being released of them, and vice versa. A lot of the fandom is left wanting versions of characters seen in the comic books as toys, a desire that rarely bears fruit from Hasbro. (this question submitter in particular would LOVE to have a Storm Shadow figure in the outfit from his 2007 Ongoing series).
Is there any reason why these comic book designs are rarely if ever translated to toy, or vice versa why comic books aren't mandated to follow the toy designs more closely?
