That would be in a year or two assuming they started working on the animated series with the announcement.
I wonder when ILPY will try to sell them. There is supposed to be a limited supply at 10,000.

I wouldn't call them "great" numbers. The bulk of the revenue came from Beacon Media (ChizComm). GNUS still generated a huge operational loss.
Ad revenue (generated by Kartoon Channel!(?)), while still nearly insignificant, was up slightly.
GNUS needs to chart a course towards profitability.
Buyout of WOW and release of Kidaverse are the next things to watch.

"Team Zenko Go" is being released on Netflix, March 15th (not that it matters). It looks like Mainframe did animation service for Dreamworks.
It seems to have started after the settlement of the A Parent Media co. lawsuit.
Oddly, ChizComm was named in the settlement. Maybe that is what sparked this.
I don't have much sympathies. Did you read the complaint. One of the reasons for Harold's termination was for selling securities while in possession of non-public information. Filed SEC Form 4s shows Harold sold over 400,000 shares of GNUS late December 2021. We should find out more of the story when GNUS files an answer to the complaint.
I never liked GNUS's acquisition of ChizComm. The losses up to Q3 2021 exceed what GNUS paid for them.
I don't think the lawsuit will last long and I doubt anyone will come out of it looking good.

Are you upset because you are losing on GNUS?
Edit
I said I was a WOW Unlimited Media shareholder, not a GNUS shareholder. Being profitable is not losing.
And, you came after me.
I told you, I own WOW. I bought at $0.30. Not losing.
But, if it makes you feel better about yourself, believe what you want.
