Generally the only time there is an embargo date is the release of a new Movie toyline.
Other toylines that have a documented release date/month by Hasbro are estimates of when stores should end up getting the stock from Hasbro, and are spaced apart to help make sure retailers have had enough time to clear out older stock, even if the stock arrives early at the Hasbro warehouse. Generally the stock gets sent out as soon as it arrives at Hasbro... to be put out for sale straight away.
Those other toys or toylines that aren't supposed to be found in stores globally until a certain month just don't get sent out to stores until then... and once in retailers hands, they can do whatever they want with them.
