This sounds promising.

So DC SUperhero girls Mattel gets to keep, as well as other barbie style lines(where they make more money anyway), and Spin master gets to do the other side of the market.

For comparison of a general idea of what to expect. Look towards Tron Legacy. Minus electronics, and more durable torsos since they won't be made out of translucent plastics.

This could actually work out really well for all of us.

Spin Master does a lot of great work, and knows how to match the markets when needed. So I could easily see them making a "Marvel Legends" comparable line, while also getting a better 4" line to market too at a reasonable cost. And, the best part, they won't be so hung up on gendered marketing, so they will be more likely to do things for Wonder Woman's movie or otherwise, that Mattel kept refusing on.

Feels a bit like what happened with Toy Biz and Hasbro with Marvel. Except in this case, Mattel has fall back property staples to keep them afloat.

Hopefully long term, this means Mattel will look more into creating better new IPs, and bringing self-owned things to the forefront, though it is a sad day to not see DC VS MOTU stuff, but at least they can still do She-Ra to DC superhero girls.
