Because the franchise has changed and each variation has its fans and detractors already, I don't think the movie will make an overall difference. There are RAH collectors who don't like 25th so their interest isn't affected by new stuff that comes out.

The movie might cause a slight overall interest increase in all toys if it does well, but if it tanks I don't think it'll have much effect on prices of the older lines as the existing interest is there regardless of a movie already. I'd say the only Joe toys whose after-sales market value is going to hinge on the success of the movie are whatever they bring out that's directly based on it.
