1.) Now that the subscription seems to have become the primary business model for MOTUC (as opposed to the monthly sales), would you consider offering a second 2010 subscription for the latter half of the year? I suspect many fans who wavered the first time might jump at the chance now.
The 2010 subscription was a one shot deal. We’ll be selling the 2011 Club Eternia subscription over July and August in 2010. Act fast!
2.) MOTUC Portal asks: Where did the classic Trap Jaw art featured on the bio of the MOTUC packaging come from?
It came from a vintage activity book. We thought the pose was better compared to his card back where he was looking down.
3.) Paddy Fitz asks: The packaging for MOTU Classics has always indicated that it is intended for the “Adult Collector” rather than the traditional age range usually seen on action figure packaging. Recently, DC Universe Classics packaging has changed from “Age 4+” to an “Adult Collector” label. Why the change? Does it have anything to do with the materials (paint, plastic, etc.) being used relative to US toy safety standards? Many collectors are allowing very young children to play with MOTUC and DCUC figures, so some clarification on this potential safety issue would be much appreciated.
No big secret. We are just proud of all the collector awards this line has won and want to let them know this line is for them! No change in materials or anything else.
4.) Dayraven asks: Is there any chance of seeing a WWE line of Elite “classic” wrestlers, like Andre the Giant, King Kong Bundy, Big John Studd, Haystacks Calhoun, Adrian Adonis, Killer Kowalski, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, those kinds of guys?
While some of the classic WWE Superstars are handled on a Star by Star basis, we do have plans to get to lots of classic wrestlers!
5.) RocketPunch asks: Would it be possible to change the Ghostbusters Proton Packs to the material used for the DC figure Steppenwolf’s axe/backpack? That way the hose that connects to the pack would still be flexible, and the gun wouldn’t bend so easily.
This is something we have looked into but it wasn’t working as well as we hoped.
