1.) While you can’t provide any specific numbers, can you give any sense of how much more widely available the next Walmart-exclusive wave of DCUC will be than Wave 5 (if at all)?

It is up to Wal-Mart to announce those numbers.

2.) Valo487 asks: I appreciate that Mattel has definitely done a lot to increase the number of villains in the JLU line (although more can never hurt!!) but the DCUC series seems to be far lighter in terms of the hero to villain ratio. I understand that the hero bodies’ ability to be reused for various DC heroes is probably a big part of the reason, but as the number of big name heroes left to be done is becoming smaller, will we see more of a focus on the villains of the DC Universe?

As the line continues you should see a nice blend of both heroes and villains in the line.

3.) George asks: Why does Mattel produce two of the same figures with just a head swap? Why can’t you include the “variant head” in the package (like Deadpool with ToyBiz’s Marvel Legends, or Ryu with SOTA’s Street Fighter)? It seems to me that people who are already going to buy the variants wouldn’t mind buying two of one character, so they would essentially buy two of each.

At the end of the day, we need to sell a certain number of units of each sku. It is a business thing. We will look at including extra heads sometimes, but both IH and DCUC were not designed to have removable heads and to go back and give them removable heads would require a lot of new tooling which quite frankly we would rather put into new figures. Going forward, for new lines, we will look into more removable and swappable parts as we know fans love this!

4.) Nicholai asks: Have there been discussions about moving past collect-and-connect figures in order to emphasize other accessories or are collect-and-connect a vital part of DCUC?

This is something which has come up a few times, but at the moment, with only 5 waves per year and therefore 5 collect and connect figures per year, there are still a lot of cool larger figures we want to get to before switching formats.

5.) Googum asks: Any plans to reissue Catwoman or Two-Face? (Apologies if that’s been asked or answered before, but I see the reissued Green Lantern on the shelves, and never saw those previous two at all.)

We had planned to put figures like this into some upcoming two packs but there was no retailer interest. If there is enough fan interest, we can always look at putting some of these figures in the main line in place of a new figures (hey, that would save us on tooling dollars!)
