NECA sales numbers would be even smaller than Mattel. Their market isn't that strong, nor would they have the money for that kind of acquisition. (MOTU or DC.)

MOTU is staying in house, it's one of those few things they can make with no licensing fees. Like Barbie, Max Steel, Matchbox, and Hot Wheels. MOTU will make a comeback though as new media develops. Right now She-Ra stuff is likely in the works as the new netflix toon is shaping up to be as big a hit as Legendary Defender is.

The DC license is in a transitional state, but a new 4'' line may come out of it to go with Multiverse comic stuff now. Thanks to Jurassic World's line scale, the market data now supports trying that again in a better cost efficient way to keep figure cost down to boost volume sales.

Multiverse 6'' is here to stay though and has made some massive strives forward to improve the figures. The new ones of those are looking awesome.
