The WWE released its quarterly numbers today, and, as it comes as no shock, their toy section revenue grew quite a bit. Toy Revenue this quarter ALONE was $3 million higher than the numbers of their toy section at the point last year's first quarterly numbers were released. Simply put, Mattel has helped grow the WWE toy line BIG TIME! Just thought I'd pass on this news to you guys, as it should shed insight as to how good Mattel really is selling.

Any kind of growth is good news especially when you take into consideration that last year's numbers out did anything Jakks ever did. |

not to downplay Mattel or the work they have done, I don't think you can just take that number as it is. You kind of need to put it in perspective. Revenue was $3 million more than what? I'm just making up numbers here but say last in the previous quarter revenues were $1 billion, and now are $1.3 billion. The increase isn't really that significant in that case. For companies like WWE and Mattel $3 million usually isn't really that significant. Also, revenue doesn't factor in expenses. So revenues may have increased but expenses likely increased as well. No doubt any growth is always good and Mattel has done an awesome job with the line. I'm just saying that the increase could be the result of something minor like a slight price increase. Either way its good to hear and I hope the numbers continue to grow.

"# Licensing revenues were $23.9 million as compared to $19.9 million in the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting higher royalties earned by our toy and video game products. Revenues related to toys increased by approximately $3.0 million, reflecting the strength of our partnership with Mattel. Revenues from video games increased by approximately $2.2 million primarily based on the extension of our video game licensing agreement. Unit shipments of our SmackDown vs. Raw video game decreased 23% to 2.7 million units as compared to the prior year quarter." WWE All Stars is not included in the above quarters earnings. |

Any kind of growth is good news especially when you take into consideration that last year's numbers out did anything Jakks ever did. Growth is not bad. But I think people are going to say Mattel is better than Jakks because of this. But you can't say that because Mattel was the license holder last year. If last year had higher profits than the year before you can say that Mattel is better for the WWE. |

Anyone who has been listening to Vince's shareholder's calls should already know this. He has said a few times that despite the lost profit in live events and DVD sales the Mattel line is going strong and making up for the lost profit.

WWE All Stars is not included in the above quarters earnings. with the other numbers the $3 million increase is actually pretty impressive. I could be wrong but if my math is right, the increase is roughly 12.5% |

Just for Hardy....
JAKKS SUXSSSS!!! MATTELL > JAXS!!!!
Nah but it's good. I've felt much more into collecting since Mattel took over. Over the last 2 full years of Jakks [2008-2009], I think I may have gotten 5 figures...total. RSC Brothers Of Destruction, CS23 LOD, and maybe a figure or 2 more....but that's it. Now with 80+ Mattel figures in just 6 short months of their production....I'd say I've gotten re-invigorated in collecting.
