That's actually how most of these licensing shows are in reality. Most movie licensing for products takes place while in early production or even before any filming has happened. It takes a long time to get merch in the making and produced to the store shelves, so licensing expos are full of studios trying to get merch makers interested in buying licenses to make tie in products to movies with nothing more than some posters and concept artwork. In some cases some studios might have some teaser footage of WIP material to show investors at best.

It's time to look at G.I.JOE in a way that both appeals to kids, and collectors. And not that 5 poa bs that they've done to star wars, they tried and failed during retaliation. It's time to modernize and rework GIJOE. And if they wanted to give 1/6 a go then go both adventure team and arah. But if we go 6 inch be prepared for failure, as the brand isn't just character driven, it's a vehicle driven line, and I don't see it being cost effective. Look back at new coke.....my point is don't mess with a formula that works
Those all mostly failed cause their TV media tie ins failed. The modern stuff at least worked because it had the nostalgia old school fans coming out to buy them out... at least for a while till they kinda ran out of material and were scraping the bottom of the barrel.
