I know that Mattel has the wwe liscence until 2019,but can this be extended or is this the end of Mattel? If so, what company would you like to see takeover?Personally I'd be so upset if Mattel's ggoes.

Well, they've renewed their contract once already. JAKKS had the deal for many, many years. So I'm confident Mattel will retain the license beyond 2019.

Hasbro had the contract for about 4 years, JAKKS for 13 and Mattel is currently working on their 6th year. Id be willing to say Mattel will keep the contract as long as they like. Which means as long as its financially useful to them.

I'm curious what were the specific reasons that WWE changed from LJN to Hasbro, then to Jakks... anyone know? Surely it wasn't sales, because the LJN-Hasbro transition took place late in the boom, but WWF was still hot at that time.

If Mattel is not an option, then I like to see Bill Miekina and Jerry Padawar join forces to make them.

Ugh. Don't even kid about that. Back to Paul Bearer being as tall as the Undertaker. |

I think Mattel will re-sign, they seem to be selling well, some really well.

Mattel got it because top people at Jakks stole money from WWE. Not sure why Hasbro lost it, tho. Hopefully Mattel keep it forever. |

Hasbro dropped WWE because of bad publicity related to the steroid trial I do believe. Wrestlers were not happy as wrestling figures can net guys quite a bit of cash. Jakks was created by Jack Friedman. He also created LJN and THQ. |

Both parties are happy, and most of the fans are happy. So I don't see why they won't continue to do business together for many years.

Mattel makes a good amount of money with this deal. I think that if and when their relationship ends it will be because of politics. Maybe Vinny Mac will start his own toy company......unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised.

Mattel will have the license to make WWE figures until the WWE decides to take it away from them. To my knowledge, nothing Mattel is making is really drawing any money anymore, not even Barbie. So I don't think that Mattel is going to be like "Nah, we don't want to make WWE figures anymore". I don't think Mattel is to the point where the other lines are LOSING money, but I don't think the are making as much as they had hoped. I think girls today see things like Barbie dolls as old school and what their parents played with.
But the WWE line is making TON of money.

If Mattel did lose the contract or decide not to renew do you think the value of the figures will drop like a lot of Jakks have?
