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 June 1st, 2013. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on May 14th, 2013.
Does Mattel have any plans in the works for Batman’s 75th Anniversary in 2014 ?
And don’t say it’s too early to talk about, not asking for specifics, since every thing Mattel does for DC is usually talked about years in advance, just wondering if anything is planned to commemorate one of your biggest sellers for the DC lines.
Was the Voltron line cancelled or will it renew later in the year?
Last year when both the CIE and the MOTU lines were in jeopardy of not going through, there was a lot of campaigning to get the subs to go through. MOTU even went as far to have video pleads to make it pass. CIE did just as well, not enough for all new sculpts, but did better than just making it. Since then MOTU has added a deluxe Castle, a Filmation line added to the original club, and now a mysterious Hordak figure popping up every so often. Why isn’t any of this being done for the DC line? There hasn’t been any polls to see if a Batmobile would be wanted or an added line to help get desired figures out faster to complete some teams: Legion, Titans or Justice Society. If Mattel wants a 2014 CIE club to pass shouldn’t it give something to entice the fans to keep going?
