At AnimeExpo Harmony Gold announced that they had just found out that they've had merchandising rights to the Macross movie 'Do You Remember Love?' since 1984 through their joint rights tied with Tatsunoko.
This is the reasoning behind Harmony Gold's announcement of DYRL? based superposable toys, their DYRL? 20th Anniversary website, etcetera.
Apparently they were clear that this is seperate from distribution rights. They say they don't have those, but they are interested in acquiring those rights the moment whoever currently owns them can be found. They also stated a dub of the movie would be made available, as well as subtitled, again provided that they can find who currently holds those rights and scquire them for themselves.
This probably means AnimEigo won't get the project should HG nab the rights.
One must wonder what Big West's response will be to this?
