1.) Dead Man Walking asks: Mattel continues to insist that it will not do a fan’s choice figure for MOTUC because of the varying levels of unique tooling that figures require. However, Mattel is in the driver seat here-why not present the fans with three choices for figures with comparable amounts of new tooling, such as Battle Armor Skeletor, Terror Claws Skeletor, and Thunder-Punch He-Man, and allow fans to determine which will be the next bonus figure?

Simple, we have the line figured out figure-by-figure, specifically timed to when we want to introduce certain figures based on shared tooling parts and when we want to reveal their background in the bios. A fan’s choice figure would interrupt this master plan. With limited characters in the MOTU world (compared to the DC world) we are not able to offer a fan’s choice option. Again, we looked very close at fan polls online and are making a direct effort to incorporate these requests into the line. That is exactly why you see figures like Scareglow and Optikk showing up – because fan’s demanded them!

2.) Ragetreb asks: Is there any chance of eventually seeing a figure of the demon Demo-Man? Maybe what he looked like before being fused with Keldor? I know that’s probably not a question you’d be able to completely answer, but the reason I ask is because it’s a character doesn’t fall into any of the categories of MOTUC so far- produced figures, canceled figures, or characters that never got figures. He’s sort of a combination of a concept figure mixed with a new lore, so it seems like he’s not in the running to have a figure made, yet at the same time I could almost see it happening in a line that already has He-Ro, Wun-Dar and Mo-Larr.

Demo-Man is the name given to an early concept art image of Skeletor (you can see this in the MOTU Art book from last summer). If we did release a Demo-Man in the MOTUC line we would indeed release him as his own character and not just “concept art Skeletor.” We do have a long-term plan in place. Stay tuned…

3.) Jabbs asks: Can we expect a non-cartoon-style Silver Banshee, Icicle and Major Force (possibly vac-metalized) for DCUC, or are they off the table since they were produced for Public Enemies?

It is possible, but they are not being given a rush job since the Public Enemies figures were sculpted with the intent that they would work as DCUC figures. The head sculpts were intended as a mix between the animated look and the Horsemen look. It doesn’t mean we won’t get to them in time, but for now the PE figures work for us.

4.) gambit320 asks: Since Mattel is releasing some of the DCUC waves on their site now, what are the chances we might see some of the DCSH figures pop up in a similar manner?

We will have to wait and see how Wave 5 performs before looking at other re-release options.

5.) sammybj asks: How many different dcuc things are we to see at SDCC?

We don’t have an exact number to share, but look for at least one wave of 6-inch figures along with some surprises!
