Ask Mattel for September 15

ask_mattel

1.) Does MOTUC Trap-Jaw’s robotic arm have a hinge joint at the elbow and a ball joint at the shoulder?

Yes. Trap Jaw’s robotic arm has the same articulation points as a regular He-Man arm. However, some of the characteristic sculpt details on Trap Jaw’s robotic arm limit some of the range of motion on his shoulder. We felt that it was important to keep those details, despite having the effect of limiting the range of motion.

2.) Finkrod asks: Does Mattel plan on doing re-issues of all previously released MOTUC figures?

That’s to be determined.

3.) Dayraven asks: Will the re-release King Grayskull get some re-engineering (like closed shoulder socket gaps or a removable harness/cape)?

That’s still to be determined as well.

4.) Fallen Eldor asks: How Many Bonus figures (not including deluxe offerings like Battlecat) do you have in mind for 2010?

It all depends on fan demand.  We’ll see!

5.) Captainzero asks: What’s the status of the DCUC Golden Age Hawkman/Hawkgirl 2-pack and the DCUC Lex Luthor/Supergirl 2-pack?

The Hawk pack is still in development. The Lex Luthor/Supergirl pack will hopefully be out in early 2010.

6.) George asks: The Walmart 5-pack was suppose to be out during Christmas, then I saw it at Walmart a couple of weeks after SDCC. Now it seems like they pulled it off the shelves. What’s the deal? Will there be more in Christmas?

This 5 pack will continue to ship through the holidays.  Shelf dates are a retailer decision.

7.) Mario asks: Now that DC has re-acquired the Archie Super Heroes (The Shield, The Fox, The Sting, etc…), is there any chance we’ll get them in DCUC form? How about the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents?

While DC has acquired these characters, they are not part of our agreement with DC.

8.) Joel asks: Will there be a civilian DCUC character released in 2010?

Possibly. We know there is demand for characters like Gordon, Lois and Alfred and others.

    Poe, please ask this:

    Matty, it was awesome that you gave the MOTU fans a choice in how the final Moss Man figure would be produced regarding the amount of flocking due to it possibly limiting the articulation. It seems strange that you didn't give the DCUC fans the same choice in how Black Canary would be produced. Instead, you just chose to limit the articulation in favor of the fish net stockings. Why did you not approach this the same way?

    But then he's Tony Stark sans moustache. The only way I'd want a Bruce Wayne figure is as an unmasked Batman. Oh wait, I already have that. Never mind.

  4. Plus Bruce Wayne has been protrayed so many differeny ways, there's nothing really iconic about him. Unless you give him a couple drunk supermodels and a checkbook as accessories! 😉
