    I see that Mattel is going to have a Major Matt Mason Movie released soon. I hope that this will be accompanied by a release of updated toy figures. I really enjoyed the toy line as a kid (I'm 54). I would hope that the new line would be compatible with the old, but would fix problems like the wire bend joints that eventually broke, ruining the figure, or the jet pack lines that would eventually stop working. The helmet was a stroke of genius and the rubber hands that could grip stuff. They couldn't sit very well or pose too good. I loved the space sled design and the cat trac. I liked the space crawler, but even as a kid I noticed that it would be a really rough ride for an astronaut. Maybe 8 legs per side? Spring loaded legs? Captain Lazer was neat, but needed to be more poseable and able to remove the gun from his hand.

    I loved that the heads were able to be removed, so you could put different heads on different figures. More head sculpts would be very welcome, even sold separately. If you used the same idea for the head attachment for arms and legs, then if an arm or leg broke you could offer replacements and make a fortune in spare parts!

    Just my ideas

    @Fengschwing: From what I can tell they cost the same. My friend recently pre-ordered the 11 pack for about 50 euro. I don't know how much import shops and other e-retailers sell them for though.

    @JABBS: If we're handing out suggestions, Vixen needs to be able to touch her charm, and STRIPES needs to be a BAF with a cockpit that Pat Dugan can fit into.

    A SUGGESTION, AN ENTIRE DCUC WAVE OF… VILLIANS!!!!!!

    @PrfktTear: Yeah I do! It'll make me feel better about having to sell my kids into medical research to buy DCUC in the comic shops!

  5. Would Mattel ever think about releasing an Elongated Man figure in the DCU, or even a Ralph/Sue two pack a la Wondertwins? I need to complete my JLA!

    @Feng: You DON'T want to know how much Dr. Who figures cost over here!!! 😉

    @Poe: Yeah, you're probably right, it just gets my goat. Does this mean you guys are going to have to pay through the rook for the 11 Doctor set?

    @Lemonjuice_McGee: No, nope, nah, never. They've answered this one a million times, it'll never happen.

    Is it even possible for Mattel to produce a DCUC version of Space Ghost, since he had a DC minis-series? A Classics Space Ghost would be a thing of beauty.

  10. Now that Mattel has the rights to the entire DC catalog. Is there any chance we might see some Vertigo characters released, possibly on mattycollector? Swamp Thing has been put back into the DCU proper, but I would kill (KILL!) for a John Constantine…

    @Fengschwing: Aren't those Doctor Who figures made by a UK company? I would think that was the reason.

    @Wyngarde: We might find out the answer to that at SDCC, but I seriously doubt they'd answer that in a Q&A.
