We’re back with another round of Ask Matty!
POE: Was the entirety of DCUC series 3 produced before the transition to the new vendor’s factory?
Matty: Yes. Wave 4 is the first Wave from the new vendor.
At this point, how many body types are there for DCUC figures, and would it be possible to list them?
Lets see, we have male medium (Captain Atom, Black Manta, Atom, others), male small (Sinestro by default though a production error), parts of male teen (Robin, Kid Flash), large brute (Lobo, Despero), part of standard female (Wonder Woman and Harley), Male suit (Riddler, Clark Kent), and there may be another. We are still working on female teen, super thin male, large female, small female and a few other surprises.
What process is used to paint intricate details such as the logo on the Sinestro Corps’ Sinestro’s chest on production figures?
It is called “tempo” which is the same process we use on CARS and Hot Wheels to apply decals. It is essentially a computer created “sticker” that is heat sensitive so it sticks to the plastic to look like a paint op in the end.
Would Mattel consider creating a new BAF Doomsday, or is that unlikely since he’s already had a figure?
Definitely on our short list. (although we would likely use the same sculpt, just scale him up to size.
Now that Mattel has a working relationship with DC Comics, is there any possibility of new DC-produced Masters of the Universe comics?
Could be down the road but nothing is in the cards at the moment to announce quite yet.
