Did McF lose the main license to Mattel?

>>11812435
Yes, but he only had a license to do 7 inch everything, 6 inch 60's/70's tv shows, and Super Powers. Spinmaster had everything else and could have been making 6 inch collector figures this whole time.

Obsessed.

...with DC toys.

6.5 is really not far oof.
Since Todd was and is a genuine idiot with no quality control, we have some monsters like Power Girl who will always tower and even with McFarlane's own DCMV, they don't scale well with one another, but the ASMR reviewer already showed that the Mattel Flash, next to their old DCU or the DC Directs, or the McFarlane, isn't a huge leap.

Only the Sonic two pack Flash and the Mattel Young Justice animated collector figure really scaled poorly, in a visual sense, from the new Core Flash.

>>11812578
Yeah Mattel is making DC Core now but Mcfarlane is still making DC Multiverse till the end of the year. Next year Mattel is supposed to have a collector series as DC Core is just a kids series and has less articulation than their old DC Classics line.

>>11812696
I'd love giant Power Mommy, but I'd rather the Infinite Crisis design. In any case, I want both DC and Marvel to just work together

>>11812474
>McF lost the collector license. McF never had the main license
McFarlane at first had the childrens toy license, hence their DC toys showing up in the children's toy aisle. The children's toy license was split between McFarlane and Spinmaster, hence Spinmaster making smaller scale toys while McFarlane was making larger scale toys. There's no specific 7", 6", or 4" license, at least based on how Hasbro's license is wrtten for STar Wars and Marvel. They probably the actual sizes vague, since specifically stating 1:18 or 7" of technical issues, like how a lot of vehicles or characters can't actually fully scale to 1:12 becasue it'd be the size of a boat or an error happens when a toy comes out too short from the factory.

Later on McFarlane bought/contracted DC Direct to release their figures, so they effectively had the collector license as well. This is how they were able to produce the smaller scale Super Powers figures, since the collector toys are seperate from Spinmaster's smaller scale children toys.

Supposedly Mattel has collector license now too, along with the childrens license, and McFarlane got all pissy about that, so there might be legal issues still happening there. We won't know what's going on there until MAttel announces their products at SDCC this year (or maybe later?), since companies notoriously hush hush to the point we don't even know that lines get canceled until they stop showing up at retail.

>>11812561
One just sold on eBay with two other so-so figures but the total lot was about $60 with postage and taxes. I almost went for it till I saw the rumor. A Canadian has it for a fair price even with the tarrif rape "surcharge."

>>11812808
>Supposedly Mattel has collector license now too
There's no "supposed," chum. McFarlane can't make or produce new DC anything after December. They might make a pitch, especially since it's pretty clear that the people that bought Diamond Select Toys from bankruptcy seem to just want to let the line die and don't intend to try to release DC Gallary statutes, Todd could pitch WB Consumer Products on doing a SC staction gallary figurine line like they have been releasing for Marvel, but I doubt Mattel will accept that personally even if they have no desire to do so.

Todd also now has the distribution for Quantum Mechanixs and some of those were DC. I also assume they will continue to do things like the movie maniac lines https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/looney-tunes-movie-maniacs-bugs-bunny-superman-6-limited-edition-figure-120368
- although SpinMaster released a lot of WB 100 stuff as well and most of their stuff was really nice.

Their Looney Toons/DC cross over was well made and worth the discount once the price dropped, ditto the Tom and Jerry. But I also got the McFarlane LT stuff on sale as well.

Like i said, we know that McFarlane was going into the legal matters about it and there won't be any confirmation until SDCC. So who knows if they even have a case there, but there's a chance, since Mattel never really made a collectors market toyline before.
Their direct to consumer subscription shit like pic related was still kiddy shit, btw.

So it's up in the air until there's actual confirmations or a year of silence like their Street Shark shit.

The identical press release is at the Warner site. There's no "supposed" or "legal" and nothing Todd can or is doing other than what he is finally fucking doing - which is releasing product like the Vault Wondy and the Ross exclusive and otherwise try to gin as much actual cash flow into the books at MTS instead of the fomo and collector appeal and desirability that Todd previously prided when he didn't expect to lose the license.

I can't find the interview where McFarlane talked about how he didn't know that Mattel was getting the WB license again and how they were going to go over it with their lawyers, because fuck videos. I ain't scrubbing through a hundred 30 minute videos to find a 15 second statement.

>>11812887
Sigh

I picked ToyArk because most people will view it as legit. I could have picked Bleeding Cool but if this was a different board on this site, an entire different set of people would pile on for different reasons.

I'm not going to get into a back and forth with you. Toyark typed 'exact details. ..' because they were quoting the initial LA Times report (which reported it because Mattel is a huge employer in town). The Times has done repeated follow-ups that won't take you 5 seconds to confirm how mistaken you are, from them, and Toyark themselves reposted the self-same press release as an update and EVEN called it that.

But sure, you hold your dick in your hands hoping Todd will save you from Mattel come January. Once you start pissing all over your hands, don't come back crying.

tl:dr WB and Mattel both have switchboard's, if you need to "hear" it, call their consumer products division on Monday and ask.

If written confirmation suffice, the LA Times or Bloomberg or any legit business publication has reported on it THIS year, versus the announcement last year.

>>11812925
Yeah, like i said, McFarlane had both the childrens and collectors license as well, thanks to attaining DC Direct.

And yes, Mattel kept making DC toys for toddlers, because i guess that was the only thing that was actually selling well for them.

>>>11812967
Why are you sighing over your own lack of English comprehension skills, since the links you gave me were being unspecific about what the licenses entail and the fact that McFarlane himself saying he wanted to bring his lawyers into getting more favorably terms than being completely shut out?

>tl:dr WB and Mattel both have switchboard's, if you need to "hear" it, call their consumer products division on Monday and ask.
LOL, you have a child's understanding of how shit actually works. It's no wonder you sound like you sound like you're not even reading my posts and just need to rely on putting words in my mouth.
you're simplistic and have the attention span of a goldfish.

>>11812696
What is with the mania among these toy companies even in times of plastic prices rising to make giant figures? Make true 1/12th scale like Japanese companies.

>>11812808
>McFarlane at first had the childrens toy license, hence their DC toys showing up in the children's toy aisle. The children's toy license was split between McFarlane and Spinmaster, hence Spinmaster making smaller scale toys while McFarlane was making larger scale toys.
Nope, that is nonsense. Spinmaster had the kids license from the start and McFarlane had the collectors license. The aisle the toys are in has literally nothing to do with what license a company has. It's up to the store where to put the figures, and Todd got demoted to electronics in Walmart because his figures sold poorly. Some of his figures are still in the toy aisles in Targets (while others are in electronics like the Batman TAS line). The demotion of regular DCMV to electronics was a Walmart specific thing.

>>11813061
Lol tell that to Figma.

>>11812429
Idk why it took so long to give reprints a chance, it seems stubborn to leave money on the table to keep to scalpers engaged with the line.
These go up on Friday right?

>>11813062
The location of where the toys are is literally how it works, retard.

They pay for the children's toy license and they get put in the childrens' toy aisle. They literally can't put toys that aren't made for kids in the toy aisle, due to various laws and regulations.


Think about it for more than two seconds. Remember how all the news sites were talking about the Mattel's license was <SPLIT> between McFarlane and Spinmaster? It's because Mattel's license was literally broken apart and two different companies were now handling the same figures that Mattel was making.
Mattel didn't have the collector license before either, so why was everyone pretending McFarlane got the license from Mattel?
THINK about this for more than two seconds.

It's only after McFarlane got DC Direct that they were able to start releasing toys for the collector market too and that happened AFTER their toys were appearing in the childrens toy aisles.
If McFarlane had the collector license all along, why'd they attain DC Direct in the first place?

also, holy fuck, google is fucking horrible. It doesn't let me get more than one page if i do a search for websites before certain dates now. so here's the only industry link i managed to get about it
https://toybook.com/mattel-extends-licensing-agreement-with-warner-bros-for-dc-universe-toys/
>In recent months, many questioned the status of the relationship between Warner Bros. and Mattel, as some rights to DC Universe properties transferred to new licensees including Spin Master and McFarlane Toys,

I mean, for fucks sake, McFarlane is paying to have their children's DC toys tested, while shit like their Diablo collector figures aren't tested, hence having a "16+" and "not a toy" labels on them. The premium McFarlane DC figures have that NOT A TOY warning on them too, so those are obviously made using the collector license and not the one that was split off from Mattel.

>>11813095
So, what do McFs count as? Because they're in both the toy aisle and the collector area

>>11813093
Probably early.
And who knows the quantities. The Vault WW is still up in a few places, I'm not interested so didn't look deeply but at least one e-commerce store I was looking for something else last night had it up.

>stubborn to leave money on the table
This was Todd and his comic book publisher mentality
You let things become desirable and go out of print and for legal scalpers (e.g. official third party sellers, not some ebay scum) sell it for more than list, and all that is very common. BUT Image or Todd himself can reprint any or no part of Spawn at any time. McFarlane Toys doesn't control that with DC Multiverse, so it was actually not just 'stubborn' but stupid prideful to let those scalpers make that money since this FOMO mentality did absolutely nothing for McFarlane Toy's bottom line or books.

>>11813118
They make toys for both markets, hence getting the license that Mattel lost in 2019 for childrens toys and then taking control of DC Direct for the collector market license.

Again, i literally just said one way on how you can spot which license a toy is using.
And to state the obvious, there's a chance McFarlane might release a Age 8+ labeled toy in the collector market, but toy that has an Age 14+ and/or "NOT A TOY" label can never be a children's toy.

>>11813133
Making re-releases doesn't always worth it.

A lot of people can claim that they'd totally buy X if they re-release/print it, but a lot of time they never actually do, so publishers/toy makers are left holding onto a shit load of stock. It's very common.
Nevermind that orders will be far fewer, so sometimes it's better to focus on new shit than old shit. Why waste time and effort on an old toy that will only get 20,000 sales when a brand new thing will get 100,000 sales?

I think McFarlane is only doing that now because their factory isn't busy, since they're winding down from no longer making a mass market children's toyline anymore. So any reprint will help with bringing costs down for everything else.

>>11813095
>The location of where the toys are is literally how it works, retard.
No, it isn't.
>They pay for the children's toy license and they get put in the childrens' toy aisle. They literally can't put toys that aren't made for kids in the toy aisle, due to various laws and regulations.

They're still in toy aisles in Targets. You're latching onto a Walmart only thing and assuming it applies to everywhere. McFarlane DCMV has always been labeled 12+ from the very beginning, while Spinmaster was lower.

Government regulations and testing control what they put on their package about the age the toy is intended for or whether they have to say it's "NOT A TOY" but it has nothing to do with what aisle a store puts it in. Sometimes they'll even throw old kids toys in electronics because it isn't selling fast enough. Expected velocity of sales is what determines what aisle the store puts in it, not government regs.

>If McFarlane had the collector license all along, why'd they attain DC Direct in the first place?
Because they acquired it later from DC to be able to reuse old DC Direct molds for Batman TAS and use the branding for their comic pack in figures.

>>11813145
McFarlane Toys are probably at the MOQ for orders from their factories for most DC products now, besides maybe the movie tie in stuff that DC is going to force them to make more.

If it's not about McFarlane toys getting the valiant comics license then I don't care, mattel will mattel when mattel is ready to. the first few waves of whatever the collector focused line is called will be the usual suspects so I'm not really excited for that series yet.

Mafex will likely not release a comic Flash or Green Lantern for another 3 or 4 years. Let alone more niche characters. I think I got my first comic Mafex before McFarlane ever got the license, now it's over and I'm still waiting for 1(one) Mafex Batgirl that got announced like a year ago.
Eventually I'll get them if they come out, but between now and then I can spend 5 years buying figures before seeing Mafex tackle them.

I'm sure there are good books, but I mostly just hear about cover chasers more than I do engaging stories. Regardless, the absolute books do seem to sell really well. They seem to be as popular as the energon books but this is just what it looks like to me as an outsider.

>>11813307
That's because Absolute is cool enough to sell to the new people without interfering with the aging existing market. Death Metal stuff was ahead of its time and people didn't like it because it interfered with their usual timeline by being a huge event that took over their comics. With Absolute cordoned off in its own universe, there's less anger for it.

>>11813339
His hands just don't work next to Mafexes, because they are sculpted in the way of old toys, to be extremely multi-purpose "grabbing trigger finger hands", the same as McFarlane Toys was criticized for many times.

The hands work for kids to be able to use the figure -- but collectors want interchangeable hands to get far more variation -- fists, grabbing hands, style pose hands and whatever else is needed. The lack of that capability actually is what ruins these next to Mafexes, even more than the limited articulation.

>>11813145
With comic books, publishers often do what's called a solicit and if they don't get enough orders to make it worthwhile to fire up the printing press (and it's actually that, not the paper, etc., that is often the biggest expense), the re-release or new release - as the case may be - can get cancelled. There's no reason why SOME adult collectibles can't be treated that way.

That said, I don't disagree with you that people will claim they want or will buy certain stuff and won't. Some of what probably made Captain Carrot or Cyborg Superman desirable was that for some reason, they struck a reaction and sold, or for distribution reasons, were hard to find (as was the case with Cyborg Supes - like many others report, I saw MANY copies of the red version out in the wild, everywhere, but none of the vanilla blue version).

I mean McFarlane is also pushing out more stuff to Ross at $12.99 a pop? Why and why some of the choices, like that particular Joker? Or the Rebirth Superman and Batman, over saw something else Superman and Batman?

I still say - ultimately - McFarlane's actions and decisions, as a business, are highly suspect.

>>11813535

It still happens to lines. It's why some figures end up as exclusives or why they don't happen at all with Hasbro and Mattel.

McFarlane can just toss shit stores don't want on his website.

Imma mushroom shit if I don’t get those Mattel figures at target tomorrow

>>11813300
For a $13 kids line I can be ok with that. Especially if you compare similarly priced toys like Hasbro's Marvel Action Force. These are leagues above those. They make for decent stand ins to higher class lines.

>>11813333
Yeah I don't disagree, the scale is definitely slightly off compared to other similarly scaled collectors lines. Marvel Legends also look slightly off next to these too. But as a place holder that costs less than a chicken nugget meal at McDonalds, I can't complain.

It's just a stand in figure that I got because I was curious about how Mattel was doing these days, it's not something I'd regularly collect. For what it is though, I'm pretty happy with it. Gives me hopes for the collectors line which, if it isn't shit, I'll be in for.

>>11813511
I agree with you, but as stated above, it's just a place holder and a test run for me to see if I like how Mattel has been doing lately, since I don't normally get stuff they make. I'm not going to be collecting the kid line.

>>11813093
McFarlane betrayed everyone in the end. First the people who followed his own brand and art sense for the iconic look collectors. Then he betrayed those collectors for scalpers. Now he betrays the scalpers by rerunning valuable figures.

>>11813613
Well he's not exactly screwing them given that this are going to have a vault label on them but it will hurt their bottom line some. Still I see your point, he screwed his normal fans too without all the Easter egg hunt releases.

yes, you fucking retarded niggers. keep scalping the toddler line. please invite more comparisons to actual collector lines like legends and multiverse so when the adult collector shit comes out people will actually compare both lines based on price and a weapons tree.

I was so confused reading that, I thought anon actually meant todd instead of toddlers lol

We now have toy tubers saying adults should not be reviewing the Mattel kids line just cuz. Lmfao the fucking high horse these people are on is insane. Thank god the toy community exists so these gatekeepers can champion over priced “ADuLt collectibles” and shill their friends products.

McFarlane seems to be all over the place with that. Their Multiverse movie/premium figures have the NOT A TOY labeling, while some of their comic shit still has the 12+ labeling, which is why it's able to be sold as a kids toy in the normal toy aisle

>>11813535
toy companies also do solicitations, which is why they even go to Toy Fairs in the first place
And you're missing a very important part here, which is that solicitations is mostly done for retailers and distributors, and they're basically guessing at how many consumers are going to buy, which means they'll also be left holding onto overstock, hence Ross being full of unwanted toys

Anyway, due to the lengthy process of toy making and the lengthy process of shipping toys, only really small companies are able to basically print on demand, but like i said, that'st ill rare because they 've been burned before by fans who flake out or forget they even wanted a re-release
The fact that McFarlane is doing that now is their factory isn't making as much product anymore

>>11813170
there's no way McFarlane is making the bare minimum for an action figure, because that wouldn't even pay for the lawyer that they're using to try and continue making DC toys
With how licenses are written, that might not pay the royalty fee

>>11813153
>retard arguing made up nonsense after being proven wrong
I love how you have to ignore that Mattel lost their license to make boys toys to McFarlane and Spinmaster, and you also want to pretend that Mcfarlane wants to spend the extra money to pass federal regulated tests to be able to sell their toys to kids despite not needing to if they only had the collectors market license.
Also also, i like how you don't even know that McFarlane has been releasing all new, all newly molded action figures through DC Direct. How are you even in this thread if you're so ignorant? IT's almost like I'm talking to a shitposting bot whos never gotten high off the smell of plasticizers

Whether you want to believe it or not, Spinmaster got kids license, McFarlane got the collector license. Note that even product aimed at collectors can go for 3+ safety ratings if the company wants--Hasbro does it all the time, with fan channel exclusives that still say 3+.

12+ safety testing is cheaper so McFarlane sprang for that rather than something more rigorous like 3+. But as the line went on they chose to forego the testing for some figures, likely because by then they knew they had gotten everyone onboard the line that they could by then and had already started receiving less retailer orders.

If the 12+ had any bearing on where in the store the figure was placed, we wouldn't see a 12+ Cyborg Superman in electronics in Todd's very video saying in Walmart his toys were moving to electronics. Again, the stores decide where in their store the figures are placed.

>Also also, i like how you don't even know that McFarlane has been releasing all new, all newly molded action figures through DC Direct.
It's quite a mistake that you deceptively claim that I didn't know that, when I mentioned those figures in that very post in the same sentence I mentioned the old Batman TAS molded figures

Read the second half of the sentence
>"Because they acquired it later from DC to be able to reuse old DC Direct molds for Batman TAS and use the branding for their comic pack in figures."
In no way does it claim the comic pack in figures are old DC Direct molds as the "and" should tell you the use of the DC Direct branding for the comic pack in figures are a separate item.

The new molded figures you mention are those comic pack in figures McFarlane figures I mentioned, branded DC Direct and also known as "Page Punchers" that come with a comic. More recently they have cheaped out on a few and only put in a lithograph backing like with Obsidian, but most of them have comics.

>>11814397
>every company who reported on Mattel losing the boys license to Spinmaster and McFarlane was lying
>and a bunch of other empty words
ok retard

>>11814419
It was the master license Mattel lost, whether they call it boys or whatever doesn't make their reporting inaccurate. That master license was then split and half given to Spinmaster and half given to McFarlane with their own purviews so they didn't compete with each other.

... you mean, like how Mattel continued making DC Playskool figures?
Or how there were dollar store GI Joes by some random company while Hasbro continued making GI Joes in 3.75 and 1:12?
Or how Playmates and Mattel both made Heman figures?
Or when Jakks Pacific was making these giant Star Wars figures at the same time Hasbro was making smaller scale ones?

Licenses can be split up in as many ways as they want, retard.
The fact is, DC's license was so expensive, neither Spinmaster nor McFarlane could afford all the rights to make toys that Mattel was able to make from their license. So the license was split up, allowing McFarlane to make larger scale toys, while Spinmaster made smaller scale toys. Neither company stepped on each other's toes, because they kept their toys in different scales and McFarlane also took over DC Direct to make toys for another market altogether.

You remind me of those ignorant characters in George Orwell books, who can't think outside of the box, so you can't even imagine a single company couldn't own every single right.
I mean, HAsbro tried doing that with Star Wars, hence buying Kenner and Galoob, so that no one else had the license to make other kids star wars figures. It took another giant company, LEGO, to make a challenge toward that when they tried to stop LEGO from making star wars minfigures. Of course, small companies like 3a tried to get a license to make 1/12 figures, but Hasbro cockblocked them too. It took LucasFilms being purchased by Disney that opened up the license to expand the markets and rights, to allow more types of toys to be made.

>>11814523
What are you even arguing? I'm arguing the license was split up between Spinmaster and McFarlane. Now you're arguing that licenses can be split up as well. No shit, that is what I am arguing. If the license wasn't split between Spinmaster and McFarlane, Spinmaster wouldn't be producing kids DC product. I don't see why you have a problem with that given what you just said.

>>11814539
Are you the retard who was arguing with me?
Because he's trying to say McFarlane only had the license to make collector toys, despite the fact that Mattel didn't have the collectors market license, which would imply that the license being split didn't happen and the reports on that were incorrect.

>>11814547
So you did this whole argument over semantics of what term I used? Do you seriously think I think the half the license McFarlane got was called "the collector license"? I called them the kids license and the collector license because that is de facto who Spinmaster and McFarlane were aimed at. Call them whatever you want. You can say when it was split that Spinmaster got the kid license and McFarlane got the "kidult license"--same difference. It doesn't matter what the name is, just the concept. De facto, DCMV was for collectors and Spinmaster's stuff was for kids. So I guess you were just mad because I called their half the collectors license rather than something else.

It's really sad when we look at Hiya's $50 Godzillas and see how McFarlane handled a Godzilla that was in an $80 two pack by comparison. McFarlane could've used that amount of money to made a Hiya tier Godzilla along with the second pack in figure, but instead they made this 6 POA "thing"

Multiple "retards" were arguing with you. This is my initial post on the subject (but not everyone responding to you after this is me):
>>11813062
Do with this information what you will, but my point has always been that the license was split by WB/DC: Spinmaster got part of it, McFarlane got part, but mainly that what aisle the toys were in had nothing to do with what part of the license they got.
