Are Mattel struggling? or is this just Hasbro hoping they'll sell? My computer didn't like that link so I didn't read it.

The link in the OP is awful, change it to the original WSJ post or if you don't have a subscription at least CNBC.
Let's hope this doesn't happen as it would be awful for the toy industry. The people celebrating clearly don't understand how markets work and the effect it'll have on the industry and it won't be good for the consumer. The less competition the worst and no companies like NECA are not competition. Quote:
The link doesn't include any real info just a clickbait article linking to the WSJ with no content. Mattel is a public company, Hasbro can literally buy it if they really want to, that's called a hostile take over while a merger is when both agree, though "merger" is not a great term since the two companies merging are never equal, one owns the other. It's a bit more complicated than that but that's a carsh course. |

Hot Wheels Transformers?
There's potential there.

Good I don't know if Mattel is in charge of DC Collectibles but id rather hasbro have those and give them Marvel Legends articulation. Dc Collectibles cancels all there figures lately its really sad. Other than that I don't buy much Mattel stuff.

Mattel was granted the Jurassic liscense over Hasbro so if this happens were back to that chinese looking knock-off **** again? Not only that but they would ruin the WWE line. The only one I could see them actually improving on is the DC stuff. It won't happen though mattel's been around for ages it's like BK buying mcdonalds it ain't gonna happen.
