weeee big deal. SPNG has to pay royalties to marvel and pay for a banner on the MARVEL site. After packaging, design and manufacturing etc, won't be much left to weeeeeeeee about.
IMO all this does is give SPNG a year to get the stock price higher so they can sell higher, then drag it's feet and let the contract for 1 year expire. Bet they never manufacture one marvel anything. but JMO
