The next round of Ask Mattel is due soon, and I’m happy to take a few of your questions to submit.
As always, I’m more likely to choose politely-expressed questions that haven’t been asked a thousand times before.

Some collectors have loudly voiced their dislike of the current DCUC figure stands. The main point of concern seems to be the unsightly blue hue that they have.
It's probably safe to say that collectors would prefer that standing/flying and posing stands for action figures be as minimal as possible. Many of us don't want those kind of aids to stand out in our display. For obvious reasons, we would prefer that it appear that someone like Atom Smasher is standing dynamically all on his own.
Until you can come up with an invisible set of stands, would clear and thin plastic be a possibility in the future?
What are the chances of getting more unique charaters in the MOTUC line Extendar, Spikor, Two Bad and Grizzlor?
DCUC will the Wal-Mart wave contain variants?
It was stated before in a previous Q+A that if JLU ends at retail it will continue on MattyCollector.com, but that was before the four packs went on sale. Now that two of the exclusive four packs have gone on sale, is JLU still likely to continue on Matty when the line ends at retail or have sales of the four packs changed Mattel's stance on that?
Is there any chance of any Elseworlds characters making an appearance in upcoming DCUC lines?
Personally I'd love an entire Elseworlds wave with a collect to connect Bat-Sentry…
WILL MOTUC's FIGURE OF THE MONTH INCLUDE POP/NA figures
OR
WILL POP/NA FIGURE BE THE 2ND BONUS FIGURE SINCE THEY SEEM TO BE LESS POPULAR THAN THE CLASSICS LINE?
Given the popularity of MOTUC, any chance we can see a promotion for the loyal fans outside of the conventions or bonus figures for items such as a new poster or comic?
Exactly how many female characters (excluding exclusives and multi-packs) are currently confirmed to be released in the next few waves of DC Universe Classics after Wave 9?
The Batman brave and the bold cartoon is quite a hit. Are you planning on making Ted Kord, Robin, and speedy?(All of which are favorites and have had roles in the show)
will prices on MOTUC stay fixed or will they lower/raise soon.
there has been speculation on raising since in the subscription order page it says "at current prices"
I don't think this one's been asked before by anyone other than me, but I am still wondering:
Will DCUC see any new Male body types, especially with the improved leg joints, or will the same standard two continue to dominate the line?
I hope that was polite enough.
On a side note…
…funny how the MOTUC subscription was online until memorial day.
Wonder if they didnt get enough sales
@Thomas B
Let's hope's not. At almost 30 bucks a figure with shipping now, how much more can they go until fans say enough with this line? I would imagine raising the price would severely hurt their sales and shorten the life of the line.
The subscription, as announced and detailed on the Matty website, was always going to be available only for that week. They took it down when they had planned and announced they would; it was no reflection on sales.
@Druken Fist: The Subcription was still up on Monday Memorial Day. They said it was only until Friday.
Mattel, can you explain shipping/handling refunds for matty collector?
If we return figures for a refund, does our refund include the shipping costs that we paid to send the item(s) back to your facility?
@Drunken Fist: LOL LOL
Wow…that is odd…matty said that the subscription would only be up for FIVE (5) days and in there site it says it will end on the 25th! I guess they changed it on their site.
Am I losing my mind? I distinctly recall they had said 5 days and marked the 22nd as the last day subscription would end.
Oh well. You're right Drunken Fist, but I don't understand what happened.
No big mystery. They announced on Friday that they were extending it.
@Scott: hmmmmm….guess i missed that one.
Matty, what did you do to Skeletor? He was posting answers to our questions on this site. He did this twice, never to be heard from again.
Did you threaten him with legal action since you technically "own" him? Do you really want to mess with the Overlord of Evil like that? I'd watch my back if I were you.
Will Clawful share the same legs as Whiplash/ Buzz off or Skeletor as their were two variations released of the original?
I just started collecting DC Universe Classics, but a few of the 'older' (Wave 4 and below) figures have had defects, frozen hips mostly, and have broken.
Is it possible for me to get a defect free replacement?
how do we get replacements for defective DCU product.
