What this is
The length of TOMY International’s Western master toy licence for Pokémon: 77 months, from 1 February 2012 to 30 June 2018.
How it’s built
- Read the amended term in Takara Tomy’s annual securities report for the year to March 2017, then count the months inclusive: 77. That is 5.5 times Japan’s 14-month term.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Replaces earlier 71- and 83-month figures based on the original end date and an option. Wicked Cool Toys took over in July 2018, with no gap.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- Term: 1 February 2012→30 June 2018
- Months: 77
- Against initial 71: +6 (half the 12-month option)
- Against max 83: -6
- Ratio to japan 14 month term: 5.5
- (2018-2012)*12 + (6-2) + 1 = 77 months
- 77/14 = 5.5
