So does that "end of the road" imply those are the last figures Todd is releasing? Or just that things are starting to wrap up?
If the number of released figures is anywhere near the amount of rumored figures, it'll be an influx in the last couple months. I wonder if Todd isn't trying to kinda subtly sneak his way into 2027 a bit. I'm sure there'll be a little overlap period where both McFarlane and Mattel are on the shelf at the same time, but if Todd were to theoretically make a wave or two and ship it out like early-mid December, it probably wouldn't get to a lot of places until after the holidays. And, in theory, that would be more on the stores themselves for putting them out late, not Todd. I don't know how the contracts work, of course- there may be a set date where any and all new product has to be on shelves, but if not, I could see him trying to prolong the shelf life as much as (legally) possible.
