How this will impact the Imaginext and other Rise of Gru toys is unknown.
The film does not currently have a new release date.
In February, toymaker Mattel entered a three-year international licensing agreement with Illumination and Universal Brand Development to produce toys based on the Despicable Me franchise including action figures, dolls, play sets, games and plush toys.

Some Rise of Gru sets were spotted in Mexico earlier this month. Online stores are giving a variety of release dates, ranging from March to June.
There is a rumor of a Minion 6-Pack, along with the Dragon Disguise, Gru’s Rocket Bike, and Gru’s Gadget Lair.
I also like how there is a different Minion face featured on each of the package designs.
The newest Spongebob playset looks like it is set to hit shelves next month! I’m ready!!!
Also, it looks like the official spelling is Camp Coral, with two Cs… unlike initial reports using two Ks, ala Krusty Krab.
MyGrodd exclusive first look at what might be a new Copperhead figure?
Mexico has had its share of Imaginext treasures, but hopefully Minions will be available in the US later this month.
Minions Gru’s Rocket Bike and Dragon Disguise were spotted in Walmart. Both were just recently seen at Toy Fair NY, and had an expected street date of 3/15/2020.
The new Imaginext Batsub comes with a grey camo Scuba Batman, and Killer Croc with neck restraint. The new Batsub has a cockpit in the front, and a mobile, sea-worthy jail cell in the rear.
Capture Killer Croc underwater with the grabber claw, and Batman can lock him up in the rear hold and head back to Gotham.
Images are available to see the new XL Imaginext in scale with the normal size guys.
Out of stock at Walmart.com but showing only a $10 figure?
This one is worth watching. It has some video of the reverse side of the new Batcave, along with some of the Mattel booth displays, like the image below, showing the table is standing on a tube full of Imaginext figures!
