1.) Barbecue17 asks: Recently online stores like Big Bad Toy Store have been unable to fill preorders on DCUC waves 8 and 9 due to being sent less units than they ordered. How can this be good for business if a dedicated toy store cannot even get the Mattel product it ordered and is guaranteed to sell? Can you shed some light on this?
Sorry, we cannot provide specifics on production or shipping counts.
2.) Reverend Ender asks: Could you please explain the price increase on DCUC figures, when there are figures with greater sculptural detail and more paint applications available from companies like NECA that currently cost about the same?
Mattel has higher safety standards and our products require increased testing to meet these standards.
3.) Sped asks: Since we’re getting the normal Superman in the “World’s Greatest Super heroes” assortment. Any chance we can get a variant on the current paint scheme with a lighter classic blue as oppose to the current dark blue?
For the most part the World’s Greatest line will maintain a vintage feel in character and costume choices.
4.) Mark asks: Any chance of Isis in DCUC or any other members from the Freedom Force cartoon like Hercules and Super Samurai?
There’s nothing to announce at this time. Stay tuned!
5.) Emerald asks: Is the plan for MOTUC to keep re-releasing figures after He-Man and Skeletor, and will their quantities be more limited than their initial release?
We have to see how the re-release of He-Man and Skeletor go before committing to any additional re-releases.
6.) mjturny23 asks: When can we expect to see the first MOTUC Snake Man? i.e. 2010? 2011?
It is too early to tell at this point. Too much of 2010 is up in the air pending how the bonus figures perform.
7.) PrfktTear asks: Will the NA MOTUC figure released in 2010 be one of the Galactic Guardians or a Mutant?
We’re not telling yet!
