It's nuts to me that Hasbro are so behind on this. There are so many Spidey anniversaries this year, excuses to have most of these figures out regardless of NWH-specific licensing.
The only thing I can think of is perhaps Sony are slower on the paperwork as they no longer make money from this merchandise. Even with the secrecy surrounding NWH, it seems crazy to be over 7 months past the film's release with nothing but digital renders to show for it.
Another thing that I think is part of it is that Marvel has so many projects going on that it's hard for Hasbro to keep up even with the projects that don't have Endgame or NWH levels of secrecy. Marvel Legends figures from Hawkeye and Moon Knight haven't even hit shelves yet and those shows have been done for a while now.And its all the toy manufacturers. Funko to date has no pops for any of the villains or Tobey or Andrew. Or even any on the horizon. That is nuts to me! How many millions of kids must have walked out of that theater last December wanting toys of all those guys only to find nothing at their local retailer?
I mean, I guess this speaks to the lengths Sony and Marvel went to keep the secret, they obviously didnt give the toy companies any info on these characters being in the movie and thats commendable but man they gotta be kicking themselves because that is hundreds of millions left on the table from merchandising sales just thrown out the window.
