Technically they own Transformers also but there is likely priority put on getting certain Transformers product on shelf to align with the release of movies/streaming/TV shows. In other words it's not a one size fits all and not all lines get put out quickly or in a timely manner depending on the priority given to that product or line.
Exactly.
They have to appease Disney so product needs to be out when Disney wants it out. There has been zero issue getting out Retro Indy figures a couple months before the new film. I bet the other Indy stuff is out before then, too.
Marvel movie figures are almost always early or near the movie, save for outside factors ie movie delays that wrecked the Black Widow wave and likely will have the Ant-Man & Wasp wave show up and go right to clearance (why would Target and Walmart care to put on pegs figures in August from a movie that flopped in March?).
Star Wars is Star Wars - it shows up on or near time or it doesn't. Disney doesn't seem to care, LFL sure doesn't, and neither does Hasbro. It either shows up and sells or it will rot on the peg until it sells.
Transformers you can bet is a priority. Plus they and Takara Tomy work together on them, right? So they probably have to somewhat coordinate a specific release schedule to have them in Japan and Europe/U.S. decently near each other, right?
