There are things we deliver that are viewed as sponsorship that they're paying us. There are also things we're making together, whether that's product or new IP, where there's a path to revenue for both sides, and everything in between. So we do look at partnerships in a truly partnership way. But yeah, absolutely. We're bringing a lot of eyeballs, a lot of fans, consumers to the table.

You know, we would want to have a little more fun. Is that hurting the brand? Right? We've done, here's an example. We did something with Mercedes where, you know, they had an amazing new car release coming out and they wanted to collab around a new character, a new product. So we actually came together and created a new character called a Super Gackle. which is kind of like an animated dog.

But then we made this awesome limited edition wood figure. We had some apparel that was part of a capsule collection. It was available when they released the car.

And that was all integrated in one overall partnership.
