>>11527758Yeah. The story goes they fumbled the Batman Beyond line so bad that their sales ended up falling back on Mission Masters repaints. Once Beyond came and went, without any new Batman media on the horizon, they released Spectrum of the Bat and followed it up with World of Batman. Once the time came around for renegotiations they lost the Bat-license to Mattel and were stuck without a capeshit brand until 2006 when they took the Marvel rights from Toybiz. Though their ineptitude proved so great they had to go back and buy out toybiz just a year later to secure ownership over their mold library. Alot of TB molds ended up lost in the shuffle as a direct result. God knows what TB molds they even have nowadays.
>inb4 all the molds were destroyedI suspect the chinese nationalized ownership of them following Hong Kong's annexation/reappropriation.
