It’s that time again for Ask Mattel. If you’d like to ask Mattel a question about any of its brands, leave them as comments to this post. I’ll pick five out of the bunch to be answered on March 15th, 2013. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on February 28th, 2013.
With the retail line shunning classic heavy hitters like classic supergirl late 70, early 80s blouse hot pants look, silver age bizarro with chalky faceted head with hands, earth two robin, balent catwoman, golden age green arrow etc would you Scott consider slotting them into DCIE subscription on matt collector despite the fact they aren’t obscure C and D characters
I don’t know if they’d answer this, considering it’s a question about specific characters.
Well the question still addresses the larger issue I was just giving examples of the kinds of characters I was referring
It seems that the only characters revealed for the 60’s Batman line (with the exception of swim trunks Batman) are the characters that appeared in the movie. Now, I know it’d be tough to sell kids a Book worm, Louie the Lilac or Chief O’Hara figure, but are there going to be more characters than the ones announced? I don’t need specifics, but I’d love to have more from this line.
A lot of us love the all inclusive nature of the MOTUC bios – is there any chance the main writer of the bios (Scott Neitlich) would be allowed to do/would consider doing a novelization of part(s) of the grand-narrative in the bios? A MOTU novel would be amazing.
Illumina is a huge fan favorite – though she did not win the fan choice vote, is there a chance Mattel will go with ‘majority fan opinion’ and ‘cast’ Illumina as the mother of Skeletor in the bios? (Both are indeed Gar).
Okay, so since Greyskull is going into production due to fan demand and preorder support this tells me that a six inch scale Batcave is not outside the realm of possibility. Can we just start the preorder process now?
It was announced that the CIE 2013 line was to have no new sculpts. Not that I’m going to complain because we are getting her, but how is Huntress not a new sculpt figure? Or does this mean Mattel is approving more ‘buck figures’ with extra add-ons for the CIE line?
Now that the exclusive Justice League figures that use the BATB buck are out at Target in singles and a seven pack,will this be a one time thing or will this continue as a new line ? And if these sell well, will we finally get a release of the Gentleman Ghost,Shazam,and Faceless Hunter figures that where never released in the BATB line?
How about more female characters besides Wonder Woman?
If Matty offers CIE for 2014 (and I hope it happens), when will the sign up/renewal dates be?
