It's all about whatever new crap they cook up and push out every year now. Which makes absolutely no sense as they waste tons of money on tooling for these new characters from shows that just end up at ross or ollies unless they're from Mando. Then they both(Hasbro and Disney) wonder why they're bleeding money.

I'm fairly certain their licensing agreement requires them to put out figures for the new releases. Movie and series tie-ins are a huge part of marketing a new release, and everyone is trying to capitalize on the hype.
And if it's not a requirement, then Hasbro probably still thinks it's the best bet, again, considering all the publicity that goes into marketing a new show or movie.
Anyway, it's no coincidence that the trailer and pre-orders go up within days of each other.
