They have been cranking out around 250 releases a year, so I will definitely be completely out of room by next summer. I'm hoping Mattel's stuff is trash so I can pretty much quit collecting by that point, save for a few imports and NECA stuff.

This is of course sad and worrying, especially for those who collect Mcfarlane Toys products.

If this situation is confirmed and all rights are transferred to Mattel, I still prefer to be hopeful. Prices need to go down and quality figures need to emerge.

My guess is that Mcfarlane Toys may innovate in the number of licenses, perhaps by taking inspiration from the old times.

Neca, on the other hand, is continuing on its usual path. However, I still think it needs to increase the number of licenses. For example, I expect a Mr. Bean from Neca. Also, they used to make very good figures in the game sector, but they don't anymore. Jada Toys and Spinmaster are filling this gap a bit.
