>>9870385But have they slowed down licensing shit? As in, have announcement for new properties slowed down?
>>9870390>I can't think of any domestic companies that delay their stuff quite this bad.What I'm trying to say is that, are companies only announcing toys when they KNOW are for sure getting made and shipped on time?
I know that Marvel Legends hasn't really faced that problem, but they'd prioritize these licensed properties because of how the licenses are written (ie, release movie wave during corresponding month or pay penalty fees AND all royalties that are owed for estimated sales during that time period. OH, and Disney will consider Mattel's bid next time, because Mattel promises they'll sacrifice a thousand babies to please the shipping gods to make sure toys get out in time).
Are lines like GI Joes being halved and delayed, to allow other lines to be produced with the limited resources and shipping problems they might be facing?
>Mafex, even with their delays, still manages to release two figures a month.How many of those are DC characters that would need to be revised because they used guns?
