>Mattel stating "Mattel is awarded the global licensing rights to develop and market a full range of DC-themed action figures, playsets, accessories, role play products, and adult collectibles starting in the second half of 2026."
>sounds like their license begins in the second half of 2026, which people inferred to mean Todd's and Spinmaster's ends after the first half of 2026. Master Licenses don't usually overlap.
"develop and market" doesn't mean the previous license ends. it means they can... develop the product and market it to retailers. it's not like they can possibly wait until the license ends to try to sell it target and walmart. again, we didn't see mcfarlane dc product as consumers until it was time for it to hit shelves.
