Will we see a continuing trend from here on out in MOTUC with the new bootsculpts that don't have a visible peg/hole at the ankle like Vikor's?
Will other bootsculpts (such as the "Horde" boots, the Skeletor boots, etc)have new revamps so they don't have the exposed peg showing?
I'v included a link to my comparison pics using AFi's review pics:

What happened to the double articulation on Kyle Rayner? The proto showed double joints on a basic body which could have been the new mold for future figures, did you already ditch that idea?

If Green Lantern Classics proves to be popular enough in conjunction with the 2011 film, will there be any consideration be given to producing a Batman themed "Dark Knight Classics" in the same vein for the forthcoming Christopher Nolan directed Batman film?

Can we have a green lantern construct weapons pack?

Any plans you can share yet with continuing the Green Lantern Classics line with the movie license? or just the continuation of the current line with more Lantern Corps?
(yeah, I have NO idea why that posted before I was done!)

re: Giganta – any chance of Matty releasing the hard/IMPOSSIBLE to complete CnC's as a Matty Exclusive?
or at least make sure the ElastiGirl CnC is compatible with the Giganta CnC so we can fake ourselves into believing we have a "complete figure"?
Some of us are still backlogged with WalMart's exclusive w10, preventing access to the current w14, while other stores seemed to have skipped w14 for the full retail w15. How soon do you plan on having w14 available on Matty Collector for those of us missing out yet again?
Any chance of seeing civilian/secret identity characters? maybe a Lois & Clark 2pk? a Gotham 5pk with Quick Change Bruce, Cmsr. Gordon, Barbara Gordon/Oracle, Alfred, and Quick Change Nightwing/Dick Grayson?
What about team sets like Doom Patrol, Metal Men (with Doc Magnus!), New Teen Titans (red/white CHANGELING and proper sized Wally-Kid Flash) or Crime Syndicate teams?

While I appreciate the effort to rerelease Gentleman Ghost, is there any chance that Mattycollector would now consider some kind of set rereleasing the hard to find C & C parts that came with such notoriously short-packed figures?
It seems a waste to have so many incomplete figures floating around, since many collectors cannot afford to fork out $80+ for a Giganta head/pelvis. Or Chemo's legs.

I remember way back in one of these QA's that Matty explained that the DCUC Green Arrow figure had to come with an arrow permanently attached to his bow for safety reasons and that it was a decision out of Mattel's hands. The new Bow figure in MOTUC does not have an arrow permanently affixed to his bow. What's the difference?

DCUC: What's behind the recent increase in painting around figure's eyes in DCUC, aka DCUC Pinkeye? Wave 13's Superboy looks like he's cried himself raw beneath his glasses and classic Cheetah looks like the victim of a makeover gone wrong; many Guy Gardners from the GL 5-pack look like they're suffering from severe allergies; Wave 14's Kamandi appears to be nursing two black eyes beneath his golden locks; Wave 15's Starman looks like he hasn't slept in weeks, etc. In many case, the overuse of the brown/pink/dark wash around the eyes has made otherwise solid figures look flawed.

How do you determine what figures are featured on the backs of the MOTUC cards? I've noticed some tie in to the figure or its bio but others seem random. Is there any method to who gets featured with each new figure?
Snarf! Snarf!
@Heli: I kinda know the answer… BTW you're stealing my "Matty Answers" gig!
I'm just trying to raise awareness about SINGLE Packed figures exclusive at Matty. I don't buy the Kids don't buy them excuse since DCUC is mostly (if not entirely) bought by adult collectors.

As Captain of the Royal Guard, Teela looks nothing like the troops she commands.
Would a repaint/redeco of Teela in the same green and orange armor of her comrades (and father) be a *possible* future "refresh", or is this something that Mattel would have no interest in making?
The Flash III
Any DCUC collector can attest to the fact that Power Girls, Captain Colds, and other older figures on the pegs are not likely to sell and take up space, blocking newer figures that would sell from making it on the shelves until they are old. As many of us saw with Target, they were able to clear out old stock and put out newer figures because the reduced the price for a few weeks.
Without going into detail of the nature of what might be discussed specifically, do you at least have discussions with retailers about how to sell DCUC, since it comes out in waves and having newer figures out increases the possibility of making a sale?
Heli
Snarf, I just saw that question answered on their site. Moms and kids don't want them, so they're not making them at retail, and collectors, according to Mattel, don't want to buy DCUC figures on mattycollector, since they didn't buy a ton of Ultraman or whatever. (What? Legion of what now?)
So you're out of luck. Sorry, guy.
Or, in Matty speak. "There are no plans for that right now, but we'll take it into consideration. Maybe for a refresh down the road. Anime hyper detail."
Snarf! Snarf!
What does the Matty head smell like?
Just kidding!
Is there any possibility to release certain DC Universe characters through Matty Collector? Characters such as Lois Lane, Oracle, Commissioner Gordon, or Alfred Pennyworth. The type of characters that kids wouldn't be interested in, but collectors want…

How about a nice relaxing 50% gray instead of having to stare at the bright glaring white of the current Matty waiting screen? 🙂

If you gave Romat-Ru unique alien hands, why did Tomar-Re, who is the same species, get human hands?

WWE question: Would it be possible to have a Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke's character from The Wrestler) as an exclusive along the lines of the Ministry of Darkness Undertaker?
That would be a great figure!
