Any questions for Mattel?

@Snarf! Snarf!:

Wow, you even nailed the poor grammar and spelling!

Now for some "Matty-esque" answers to your questions:

THESE answers are just for fun, trying to get in a Matty mindsset to figure out WHAT to ask and squeeeze some info out of MC people, like Toyguru. <del>I wonder which questions will be chosen and how many will I guess correctly…</del>

@Too-Man-E-Faces: An accessory pack is a great idea, but accessories will be repaints. We can't rerelease accsessories on their own.

@DavetheBrave: We can't discuss our plans with the line so you have to stay tuned. The lack of news is due to a lack of fan interest compared to other lines like MOTUC or DCUC.

Again we can't discuss about product beyond whats available, you'll just have to wait and see.

@Novelty: The DCUC vs MOTUC 2 packs are a Toysrus exclusive. They are the ones in charge of distributing their toys. We cannot sell them on mattycollector because they are ToysRus exclusives. when they announce more locations available we'll let you know.

We cannot discuss anything about unproduced figures but, if the 12 pack sells we may reissue it later on.

An accessory pack is a great idea, but accessories will be repaints. We can't rerelease accsessories on their own.

That would be a nice way to refresh those characters later down the line if there is enough fan support for them.

We cannot talk about that, but the Final battle two pack did not have enough fan support.

Its a nice idea but we cannot discuss it at this time. If we were to sell Toy Story toys on mattycollector they would be the same toys as retail. Lotso did not have enough fan support for us to devote a full toy story line on mattycollector

@3B: While the Undertaker toy is an awesome figure, it did not have enough fan support for us to develop a whole exclusive line on mattycollector. You may see other WWE SDCC exclusive next year though.

We're working on it

@TripleM: The DCUC team and the Hot Wheels team did not planned this. It would be a nice idea but We cannot do DCUC vehicles due to Logistics.

@misterbigbo: We already have all the bios made up to 2016. Fans may not see the big picture now, but they will somewhere around mid-2012. You'll just have to keep reading.

@dayraven: MOTUC toys are not bath toys, do we really NEED to say that you can't put Grizzlor on the slime pit?

200X style is retired. We will not do anything with anime hyper detail or mcfarland hyper detail as one mattycollector.com user calls it.

@Mose: We're aware of these QC issues and we're working on them with our vendor.

@Nik: We let the 4 horsemen decide what to do with each figure. If we added a taller stack of books it would have raised the price of the figure.

@FakeEyes22: We have the line planned all the way to 2016. We have spread out the A-list characters so that everyone may have a chance. Probably all that will be left is some of the NA Galactic Guardians to do; as long a sfans support the NA characters.

We cannot discuss about unused product or items left out due to logistics. It was a mistake that the extra head on Grizzlor was published. Toyguru will work harder to avoid another mistake like that to happen again. That extra head had too much anime hyper detail and it was retired.

@Lycor: That would be a retool and Weapons packs will only have repaints.

@busterhighman: We do not control shipping costs. It depends on the weight and size of the items. The weapons pack card is the smallest we could do so the MOC collectors could display all the pieces.

@Wyngarde: We will not be adding characters from other lines in MOTUC.

@Matt: There was not enough fan support for the B:tBatB line.

@Snarf! Snarf!: King Grayskull was not able to be shipped internationally due to the electronics in his box, but he is getting a redeco this November.

We will release non-flocked Panthor on 2011. We may release a flocked redeco further down the line.

Will the B:BATB Action League Atom get re-released at some point?

Since the accessory packs are online exclusives, any chance they can be packaged differently to save on shipping costs?

I second Novelty's question about those specific foreign figures

This question is on behalf of several outspoken fans:
Have you considered coming to my house, rummaging around my old family photo albums and studying my early '80s Christmas morning gifts to get an idea of how to bettet shape the MOTUC line into what is clearly the definitive vision of the He-Man brand, regardless of what other fans' imposter albums would have you believe? (You can clearly see that Skeletor wields a No.2 pencil and Battle Cat has always looked
exactly like my old cat, whose helmet you managed to update quite well)

In relation to those who I lovingly mock:

1) You've stated that the MOTUC line is roughly planned until 2016 which I assume would
complete the vintage. For clarity, and I realize this is a rough plan with no promises, and I assume it covers all of the U.S. vintage MOTU, could you give us an idea of how complete PoP and NA would be in this scenario? Some fans are counting on 100% completion of each and I may be ignorant in my assumption that the most iconic and popular characters are more like "guest stars" in MOTUC, and StagHorn isn't likely.

2) I'm disappointed after seeing the extra Grizzlor face and learning it wasn't tooled, but I understand Grizzlor is a rather deluxe release as-is. Hate to ask, but can you tell us about any other extra 4H sculpted accessories, like the 3rd Bow head, Gorilla Grodd's accessory, or the recently rescaled Kandor, that were nixed due to cost? I'm a huge fan of the creative process, so I'm curious, and perhaps fan discussion could show if any of these ideas are worth revisiting for future releases.
I personally would buy a box of any and all unused 4H accessories from MOTUC and DCUC. Name a price.

The quality control on the MOTUC figures (loose ankles in particular) in the last few months have been fairly poor. Have you made any strides in correcting this?

is there anything we need to know about grizzlor's fur prior to getting the figure? has it been tested against static electricity, water/humidity, and aqua net? i just want to know if there are any special warning that should go w/ his fur onesie.

also, why were his paws mentioned in his bio, yet he doesn't have paw hands? wouldn't vintage style paw hands have had less anime detail than the hands we are getting?

Would you consider running a contest for fans to submit a bio for a future MOTUC figure. Mattel management could could select 5-10 and have the fans vote for the best one.

There seems to be some consternation about the bios lately, and this could prompt more interest and fan ownership of a particular character.

1. Do you consider the SDCC Undertaker a success and is there a possibility of seeing more WWE exclusives at the same, awesome level as this Taker? I really enjoy that figure!

2. The larger knee pads on some WWE figures (i.e. Triple H, Batista, and all wrestlers with the kick-pads, etc.) really restrict the leg articulation, is it possible to mold these in a softer, more flexible plastic?

A couple to pick from about a line nobody cares about:

1.Can we get some idea as to your plans for the DC Infinite Heroes line? There seems to be little official news on the line, especially compared to the other big lines.

2.DC Infinite Heroes recently started using new, more articulated bodies. Several characters that were done in the old style have been re-done in the new style, including Batman, Guy Gardner, and Black Adam. Is this going to be a strong trend, or just for a figure or two here and there?
