On pure speculation, I am guessing there are no real plans in the pipeline for them to be doing anything with the Marvel characters at DLP in the next 5 years given this deal, though I could be wrong. Though Mikey did fall in love with the Iron Man merchandise they were selling at DLP in June. I am nervous about what it means for Disney and what it means for Marvel. I am not very optimistic, though Pixar seems to have really benefitted from purchase. However half of them were former Disney people, unlike Marvel. I am worried about Marvel turning into another Muppets (another lifelong passion of mine).

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo That is very true, though Power Rangers was thriving when Disney took them on, and they killed them too.
