DC Switches Toy License from Mattel to Spin Master

Whatever DC action figures hit the shelves at your local retailer in 2019, just know they may be the last ones we ever see from Mattel.

A recent press release from Spin Master didn’t garner much attention when it hit the newswires on Dec. 21. It announced that beginning in Spring 2020, Spin Master will be the new DC toy licensee for the boy’s action category, remote control and robotic vehicles, water toys and games, and puzzles. At first, no one paid much attention due to the holidays and the fact it said “action category,” which, with Spin Master’s usual product lines, conjures images of outdoor activities.
