Since netflix is going to buy warner brothers, does this mean Mcfarlane will get a chance to get the DC license back? Also with the Netflix money can he finally get that Spawn movie made?
>>11642619How the fuck is the toy license that's already been signed and dealt with related to this?
>>11642620Netflix could kill the entire toy division if they want to.
>>11642622by giving it back to mcfarlane?
Why would they do that when Mattel has more money to pay for the license? That's why they won the bid for it over McFarlane to begin with.
The same mattel that couldn’t figure out how to put out a $20 kpop doll and make everyone billions?
>>11642629They are making a whole crap ton of items for retail next year. These are the more collector focused items. They don't have anything ready to come out this soon, and more kid-focused items never get pre-orders many months in advance like these collector aimed items get. >>11642622Why would they want to? Mattel is many times larger than McFarlane and has a much bigger output of product worldwide. Whoever owns WB will make much more in royalties from Mattel having the master license than it being split between McFarlane and Spinmaster. Any other silly questions?
>>11642620/toy/ is populated by literal retards and third world cretins that can't even fathom basic concepts let alone legalities and copyright. Shit's exhausting having to explain basic concepts like they're literal children.
>>11642711Honestly? The entire site is like this. Blame whoever you want but society as a whole was never the same since 2016 and COVID fucking things over just so those capitalists could make a chunky little profit off the suffering of vital workers
>>11642712You're the perfect example of one of those retard third worlders. Fuck who am I kidding you're probably a fucking bot.
>>11642713You chunking me out or something there, Faggot? Drumpfy royally Fucked Everyone hard with tariffs just raising the prices and the quality practically nonexistant all because domestics couldn't compete with the quality imports deliver that Hasbro and Mattel fuck up on time and time again.
>>11642620We've seen toy licenses suddenly put into limbo due to a change in ownership.Microsoft buying Bethesda delayed/canceled a shitload of McFarlane figures.Microsoft buying Activision killed the Call of Duty license with Jazwares, so they only were able to release halfassed figures that were finished before purchase was finalized. So the 1:18 scale line was never released, along with a bunch of other 1:!2 figures.so who really knows what will happen from Netflix buying WB.Also, did anyone's computer get borked from cloudflare fucking up? My browser crashed and when it went back online, everything was 500 error.
>>11642718Case and point.
>>11642720>Also, did anyone's computer get borked from cloudflare fucking up? My browser crashed and when it went back online, everything was 500 error.They're having another outage as of like 45 minutes ago.
>>11642619>does this mean Mcfarlane will get a chance to get the DC license back?Yes, but he will have to pay big money and get spit roasted by Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters while Reed Hastings whips him.And then they will laugh, say he only gets to make more McStatues like they let him do for Red One before they slap him on the ass and send him back to the Panera Bread parking lot on W Warner Rd where he usually turns tricks.
>>11642619Hard to believe the anons with Todd's teeny peen so deep down their gullet that they believe this nonsense, much like the delusional Snyder Cultist who think it will mean the REEstoration of their precious DCEU.Jesus H. Christ, people.
>>11642736Jesus Christ can't say it enough, retail is already fucked with tariff up charging but thefts are just closing down stores left and right cuz everyone has to get their cake and eat it too. Everyone at every level is at fault for this capitalist greed inflating everything to high hell.
>>11642749you're not wrong, blame the neo-lib mindset for 'muh greed is good' society wrecking selfishness, remember (You) need less dolls as the fat cats left and right fuck us all over
>>11642720>Microsoft buying Activision killed the Call of Duty license with JazwaresYes, but that's because the Jazwares figures had lmost no distribution. They wereonly sold online and I think about 20 people bought them. It was probably costing Miscrosoft about as much to keep tabs on them and have people coordinating/approving those ugly things lol. Besides, those two they did release were sooooo bad. Really horrible figures in every way so they likely did us all a major favor. Mattel is one of the top 3 largest toy companies. WB will be making massive amounts in royalties from them and the product will reach many more stores and consumers than any product with McFarlane or Spinmaster did. There is no benefit to canceling their toy license and going with any other company.
>>11642622Nope
>>11642622They do stranger things toys so I doubt they would do that.
>>11642720Microsoft are max Jews who buy shit to just let it sit and rot. The only real issue I see with Netflix is them making Batman a nigger.
Thank fuck James Gunn will be getting fired
ITS HAPPENING
>>11642904>>11642907LUL
>>11642892No, it wasn't because of distribution.It's why i mentioned Bethesda, where a similiar thing happened with McFarlane. They had plans to release Fallout stuff way back in 2020 or 2019 and because of MS buying Bethesda, almost all of their plans were scrapped until probably just recently.Same shit happened with Planet of the Apes license with Mezco. They had plans to release a bunch of One:12 apes and when Disney bought Fox, they suddenly canceled everything.So a change in ownership definitely fucks over the license holders, likely because everything needs to be renegotiated again and the new owner likely wants to charge even more money (despite the license already being paid for) to make some money back from billions dollar buyout.Jazwares releasing what they did was probably because that's the only figures they actually managed to release before the license was suddenly revoked. I think the reason the figures were so wonky is because they couldn't modify anything further without going over the time limit they had.IT seems like they were rushed and they jsut wanted to get some money back on already creating tools + whatever prototypes they already made.Jazwares released their Call of Duty figures in WAlmart and Amazon. Biggest toy stores in North America, plus other stores. The screenshots i posted shows two sets of 1:18 figures + vehicle. And 2 more 1:12 scale figures. So their distribution seemed fine.But that's 4 different companies and maybe Netflix might handle shit different with WB, so it might not affect Mattel.... and Mattel is a big enough company that they could pay whatever extra fees are thrown at them by Netflix.
>>11642892>Mattel is one of the top 3 largest toy companies. WB will be making massive amounts in royalties from them and the product will reach many more stores and consumers than any product with McFarlane or Spinmaster did.is that why mega bloks went broke?
>>11642912What's the point you're trying to argue? Nobody really cares about whatever happened with jazwares and CoD. Point here is Netflix isn't going to dump one of the largest toy makers in the world since their master toy agreement was probably worth hundreds of millions of dollars. What benefit would it have? Going with a smaller company who can't pay as much and who won't be able to get as much product out there?
>>11642907By popular demand from who? Jeets?
>>11642907It's really sad that cultist are so delusional that they will create, and then swallow as the truth, a bad generated fake schoop of xshitter nonsense, when it's so easy to look at the media posted by Netflix since the deal was disclosed in the past 24 hours and see that this is no where in sight.What's the point of you idiots scamming yourselves like this, scamming your fellow cultist and trying to grow your cult with this shit? And all for your Cult Leader, whose last three proposed shows/movies were cancelled by Netflix? Thinking Netflix wants to willing still get cooties form getting into bed with your Cult Leader is the most absurd thing of all when they literally just cancelled his most recent project the week of Thanksgiving. THERE ARE NO "IN PRODUCTION" SNYDER PROJECTS AT NETFLIX RIGHT THIS MOMENT, PRETENDING HIS SHIT SHOW DCEU IS 'NEXT' IS STUPIDITY AND IDIOCY OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE
>>11642978Sorry you’re retarded and don’t understand the Saudi connections
I was kind of hoping the Saudis would get it. They would wash the gay and black shit out of everything. Now we’re going to get a Casablanca remake with black people and the girl is trans. Hard to say if they’re going to let Gunn continue to cook but I don’t think they’ll oppose Mattel taking over DC again, it was theirs since the early 2000s.
Americans are a joke. You can't enjoy new things and need companies to remake the same slop for you to endlessly consume.
>>11642988Get a new gimmick.
>>11642619do netflix even want the licensing division? all the articles I've read are saying they JUST want the studios and film/tv back catalogue. no mention of stuff like licensing or dc comics publishing etc
>>11643301I’m confused on this as well because wb is getting ready to license characters to universal for their parks
Do you think they’ll let people use the nemesis system in bidyogames now or will it continue to rot?
>>11643301Netflix has been licensing their IP for merchandise for ages. Why are people acting like that's never been a thing? It's very easy money for companies who essentially just have to loosely guide licensees and handle approvals for stuff. Hasn't everyone seen all the Stranger Things, Wednesday, Squid Game merch, food, clothing, etc over the years? If they own WB, they'll probably just keep that licensing/merch department intact to handle all the licensing they'll likely be doing still.
>>11642907Redeem the Snyderverse.
>>11642914I'm responding to this post >>11642620>How the fuck is the toy license that's already been signed and dealt with related to this?And I've given multiple examples that just because a toy license was already negotiated and in the process of being produced and/or released, it can be suddenly ended.And we don't know why exactly. So it may delay Mattel's deal whether they're a multi-billion dollar company or not.Also, a side note about the Disney - Marvel deal, when Disney bought MArvel, Marvel was allowed to keep control of themselves, especially since the Marvel owner became one of the most important people at Disney. This didn't happen with Fox or Activision, hence a shitload of restructuring. Same thing happened with WB/Discovery/ATT... and that might have played a part with ATT/WB ditching Mattel back in 2019.pic of FUCKING FUCK DISNEY. Fucking amazing looking toys and the accessories... oof.
>>11643410Man I hope they put it in an open world Batman game
>>11642982>Sorry >don’t understand>Saudi
>>11643301>>11643374Netflix is buying everything on the right side of this graphic - one of which is listed as DC Studios, but is actually the old DC Entertainment. That includes the licensing - so toys, but also PJs, lunch boxes, amusement rides, etc. and the publishing and comic books. In the same way that Disney still has Marvel producing comics, WB has been doing so for DC and there's really no reason for Netflix to stop. It doesn't cost them money and DC would actually makes them money. Right now, if they want to do Stranger Things comics, they have to find the people to edit, write, draw, and then they license that to Dark Horse. Same with The Witcher and anything else NF that might ever get a comic. And they are letting Dark Horse print and release all the Millar World stuff. The catalogue collections of DC Comics (stuff like Watchmen, All Star Superman, etc.) were selling in the half billion every year before lockdown. No idea where they are now, but if they were doing that regularly, it's probably still throwing off a huge chunk of cash every year. The licensing is also profitable. And the same people handle the licensing for any other WB products (so Harry Potter - but not Barbie since that's owned by Mattel). >>11643432Yep. And Netflix might actually lay off those people in-house and let the WB people handle all that for everything - Witcher and Stranger Things (and everything else) toys, comic boosk, etc. They honestly do have more experience on a wider variety of things than Netflix probably has in-house.
>>11642622>Kill the most profitable division They'd likely just hore it out to Spin Master or one of the cheaper brands to maximize profit.
>>11644074I hate to break it to you, sister, but Spinmaster HAS already been making DC toys, and has been for about six years now.
>>11644074>hore it out to Spin Master or one of the cheaper brands to maximize profit.I don't think you understand how toy licensing works.... WB can demand higher royalties from larger companies (like Mattel) and they also have greater production output and better distribution in all parts of the world so more products on shelves=even more royalties for the rights holder. This is exactly why they recently pulled the DC license from tiny companies like McFarlane and Spinmaster and awarded it back to Mattel.
>>11644101SpinMaster isn't small. They are larger, with more capacity, than Todd's shit.They do Harry Potter for Warner Consumer Products and other things. Although I do admit that when they have the HBO Max series ready to release and start to want to have some action figures of the kids/adults and other cast members, with likenesses and all that, they will likely have someone else, if not Mattel, handle those. Netflix had Witcher with McFarlane but didn't give, for example, the current Stranger Thing wave to them. I've no clue how those Witcher toys sold, only that I saw them on clearance, and peg warming, and at discount stores for the last two years. So not sure if Netflix licensing was happy with Todd.
>>11643873so they're not getting adult swim and cartoon network? does that mean they won't own the shows from them either or just the literal broadcast stations they won't own?
>>11644314They are
>>11644321>Netflix is buying everything on the right side of this graphic>cartoon network and adult swim on the leftexplain
>>11642988I wouldn't talk after Dr. Who britboy
>>11642619I'm getting the feeling that Mafex is gonna have to find other Superheroes to make figures of real soon
>>11642907I have really never understood the weird level of dedication Snyderfags have for those movies.
>>11644502India, thats all you need to know.
>>11644387>Dr Who: New series, new characters, new situations, new planets, new side cast>Americans: the same shows staring the same actors from 20+ years ago, wearing the same clothing, fighting the same villains, also played by the same actors from 20+ years agoYeah, try again fatburger.
>>11644506Go back.
>>11643873It's interesting how this move is breaking up all the Turner fuckery of Warner from the 90s.
>>11644506>hey guys, we recast The Doctor because the actor got tired of doing this shit. It's a totally new show! See, The Doctor and The Master are women now. We have news characters, like another Dalek, and another Cyberman, and another Silurian, and another Sontaran. And we go to so many new planets this series, like Earth, and Earth, and Earth, and Earth, and maybe get stranded on Glupshittolon for two episodes before we go to Earth again. But it's Earth during Rosa Parks era instead of Queen Victoria's era. Mental, innit?
>>11644163Yes, Spinmaster is much larger than McFarlance, but WB just gave all of the DC toy license back to Mattel. They are many times larger than both Spinmaster plus McF combined. So I'm still not seeing the point. >Netflix had Witcher with McFarlane but didn't give, for example, the current Stranger ThingsJazwares has the current master toy license for Stranger Things. They have a much broader reach and product capability than McFarlane. Show product is out now, and the animated figures are coming out next year. So again, not sure what the point of all this Spinmaster/McFarlane talk is. Netflix knows how to maximize licensing, and always has. DC at Mattel is how to maximize those licensing dollars.
>>11644571>DC at Mattel is how to maximize those licensing dollars.Batman?
>>11644583What if they go back to the 90s trick of releasing a hundred different color Batman figs with different gimmicks?Night Missile Attack BatmanJungle Laser BatmanDeep Sea Ninja BatmanArctic Nano Assault BatmanVolcano Armor BatmanRobot Lion Tamer Batman..
>>11644502he's an objectivist, a genuine aueter outside the hollywood groupthink. might not translate to his movies being actually good but it's something.
>>11644325Graph is wrong
>>11644502He managed to take on the mouse, and overtake the MCU in just three movies, solidifying DC as the top superhero company in the world. While Disney transformed MCU into woke preaching and DEI brainwashing. Snyder was making actual superhero movies where heroic characters were saving the world and fighting villains.
>>11642619orange man is going to block it
>>11644502They are a brain rotted cult.You only need to read a few of the replies to your post to see this.
>>11644571You are picking out little pieces and making points unrelated to what I wrote. The person I replied to responded to someone typing "whore it out" and then tagging "Spinmaster;" the response was partially correct in parts but then added "tiny companies" and combined SM and MT like they were identical or essentially similar. My responses was regarding that, and I used DC as a point of reference since I am very familiar with Warner Consumer Products. I disagree with your points about Netflix being merchandising wizards. They haven't even managed to show that they could create something like the WB shop, which WB mostly failed to make into a common marketplace thing like Disney or LEGO did with their retail, but has still successfully merchandised WB licensed goods since the 1950s. Ditto Disney, which if you want to talk about a company knowing how to "maximize licensing" - they are it. I'm not going to get into a back and forth with you if you want to lick Josh Simon's balls and call Netflix brilliant, that's fine by me. But any industry trades that report on Entertainment, including the merchandising, and industry publications specific to licensing and merchandising all say things like: >Netflix's "subscriber total exceeds those of its competitors, including Disney+ and HBO Max, but it lacks the consumer products and experiences that other streaming platforms offer."
>>11645416>Disney, which if you want to talk about a company knowing how to "maximize licensing" - they are itIs that why star wars and marvel are dead?
Why can't boomers make up their fucking minds anymore? They can't take their internalized regrets and remain silent like rational adults.
>>11646093YES, YES, YESEXACTLY Boomer's only real value is passing in their generational wealth to the smarter, prettier off-spring who even today visibly showcase on sites like TikTok that they make better decisions minute by minute!
>>11648005>Boomer's only real value is passing in their generational wealth to the smarter, prettier off-springThis but unironically.
>>11644968I can smell the cowshit emanating from this comment
>>11642620Unironically there could be clauses in contracts that if the parent company gets bought they need to renegotiate the contract.
