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 April 15th, 2013. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on March 29th, 2013.
At Toy Fair in February, we saw the mock-up packaging for the 60′s batman figures. Now, on the Batman and Robin two pack with a wall display base, Robin’s word balloon says “Holy High-rise, Batman!” which is perfectly fine, considering it’s a building side display, but for the single figure packaging his word balloon says the same thing. Is it possible to have Robin’s word balloon on each figures card be different? For example, maybe Batman’s packaging could have him saying ” Holy Happenstance!” and the Riddler’s packaging could have him saying ” Holy inquisition!”. Again, this is just a suggestion, and I’m very excited for these figures!
Looking forward to the Batman 1966 line. Has Mattel considered releasing the Romero Joker with a Joker utility belt ? Those episodes where among my very top favorites of the show.
I have heard rumors that Mattel does not have the rights to Yvonne Craig’s likeness because she has not signed yet. Is this true, or are these just rumors and a Batgirl figure will be in the near future ?
Can we get a MOTU Series christmas ornaments. There was a Barbie and Fisher Price series why not He-Man
I saw a prototype for the ’66 Batmobile for the Adam West line. When are gonna have our ’89 Batman WITH the BATMOBILE?
With the success of the incoming Castle Grayskull, would this open up the avenues for other MoTU playsets? I’m really hoping that we could, at some point see a vintage style Slime Pit? I’m sure there are many others wanting the same, as well as a Snake Mountain, Fright Zone etc.
Does Mattel have any plans to relaunch a DC super heroes line in 3-3/4″? DC Collectibles jumped into making figures in that size recently so there must be a market for them. The Infinite Heroes line couldn’t ever be compared in quality to Hasbro’s 3-3/4″ comic book heroes line, do you think that is why it failed?
My question is: why did you let mattycollector sell Miss Elisabeth ALL to scalpers in a presale and leave those that bought ALL figures of Legends 6 (and thus WOULD have gotten elisabeth), with nothing.
taking Liz out of L6 and moving her into a flashback AND THEN letting her be bought ALL by scalpers was one of the most insulting things ever done by Mattel.
P.S.
Mattel Shop has trouble with ordering figs to Canada – ONLY 2 figures can be bought…..fix this please.
