Mattel is going to try at least with MOTU, but with there already being another MOTU line out right now I don't know if these figures are going to make enough of an impact to get more than a few waves and sets out of them.

If companies want their toys to sell in relation to cartoons they need to put the cartoons back on over the air channels weekday afternoons and saturday and sunday mornings, especially in this current tv climate where many are even cutting streaming services. Thats how they gathered so much attention in the 80’s, 90’s and very early 2000’s.
