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 May 15th, 2013. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on April 30th, 2013.
If the CIE line has to be planned out a year in advance, according to Toy Guru, to give time for sculpting why don’t we at least know the list of characters planned for the year when the subscription comes out? Even if a substitution has to be made for a figure or two, we would at least know what characters we are investing in rather than waiting for bits and pieces all year long during the current subscription.
I can already forsee my non-answer to his question.
Is there a particular reason why the bicep articulation was lost when making Larfleeze? Whatever the reason, I can speak for pretty much everyone who subscribes to DCIE when I say we do not want to see articulation lost for any reason. Poseability is one of the best parts of this line, so please pass this on to the design/engineering team(s).
YEAH!!!!!
Of these 10 figures, how many already planned, just a number: Lord Masque, Songster, Oo-lar, King Miro, The Unamed One, Filmation Hordak, Ninjor, Sagitaur, Blade and Wind Raider driver?
Now that we have seen a Action League type Batman figure in the Target exclusive Justice League line, will Mattel try to release the Robin, Grundy, bat creature Batman, Green Lantern Batman, Phantom Batman and Ted Kord Blue Beetle BATB Action League figures that never made it out ? You already gave us Green Lantern Sinestro, Deadman, Kite Plasticman and Bronze Tiger from that line, please give us the others somehow.
Question for Mattel: Now that you are releasing the Batman 1966 TV figures, do you also have the licenses for other Classic TV series based on DC heroes, such as a George Reeves TV Superman or Lynda Carter TV Wonder Woman?
Question for Mattel: Now that you are releasing “Filmation” based characters for MOTUC, do you also have license to make other “Filmation” designed characters for the DC line (such as the Superman/Aquaman/Batman animated TV shows from 1966-1968) ?
I’m curious to know why there is no ab crunch on the movie masters Man of Steel line. It seems like this joint should be a no brainer for a flying figure like Superman. Also, Mattel has made many Batman and Superman figures yet we have yet to see any of them get double hinged elbows or knees. These are two of the most popular characters of all time and we get a Black Hand figure with better articulation. After all these years & figures, isn’t it about time to give the big two double hinges?
