The 89 Batman Retro stuff will probably be the last new items Spinmaster ships to retailers for its DC license. Everything else will simply “linger on” on a sell down basis until retailers finally dump it.

My expectation is that you’ll see Spinmaster products on sale through Easter, with Mattel products likely hitting in late May in conjunction with Supergirl and probably a push for a new Batman line as well.

Mattel, might do something in the scale but I don't know. Like many companies they'll probably focus on six inch more, but Mattel is kind of an oddball. They and Jazwares do put in some effort towards this scale, but distribution is gonna suck. Who knows honestly we'll just have to wait and see.
