Is Mattel thinking ahead with the MOTU Movie?

 I mean, do they have Merchandise plans for when the movie comes out? I'm talking Toys and videogames. We know that AAA Games take a ridiculous amount of time. Also, I'm not looking at Mobile games, as those rarely qualify as real games. Not saying any names but Tappers of Grayskull I'm looking at you. 

On the toy front, I know what to expect: Masterverse styled figures with beer goggles passing likeness to the actors. Maybe some Origons figures with even worse likenesses.

But it's current year and everyone knows that toys are mostly bought by old heads... fortysomethings who are desperately clinging to their childhoods as they are closely getting to the Senior Citizen age. Kids this day prefer video games over toys... sadly even at gaming kids these days suck since they prefer Roblox, Fortnite, or Minecraft. 

A Videogame, more specifically a AA Game might be beneficial for MOTU, IF DONE Properly.  A 2D Platformer would be an interesting choice. A cross between Mega Man and Classic Castlevania games could work. 2D sprites or 3D graphisx with the game being 2D could work.

A Beat-em up like Shredder's Revenge or Rita's Rewind could also work with MOTU. Theoretically speaking it's an "easy to make" genre.

Obviously a Fighting game is a AA level game. The roster can be expanded with DLC and skins can be added.

But there is one genre that would be completely INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE. Stylized Kart Racing Game.

Think Chocobo Racing but with MOTU Characters:
He-Man riding Battle Cat, Faker riding Duplicat, Evil Lyn riding Screeech, Duncan riding the Battle Ram, Fisto Riding Stridor, Tri-Klops riding Roton, Trap Jaw riding the Land Shark, etc.

Of course the game would have unlockables/DLC like Zodac riding his chair, Marlena riding the Rainbow Warrior, Stratos and Buzz-Off needing no Ride. The Mighty Sphincter riding a spade hoverboard. Oh no, I've been giving far too much thought to this kart Racing game. 

In any case a game where you get to roam across Eternia is highly unlikely until PS7 if Mattel starts working on it now.
