Tom asks: Is it possible for new sculpted parts from the Black Freighter, DC Unlimited and Batman Unlimited lines to be used on new CIE characters in 2013 or 2014 since there is to be no new sculpts ?

Sure. We often share parts within the 6″ DC world when they work.

Black Arbor asks: Could we possibly see figures at retail that have appeared in the club Infinite Earths, for example (but not asking specifically) Poison ivy with a new skin tone and head, for her classic look?

Matthew Cody asks: What can the fans of CIE do now to ensure a subscription offering for 2014?

They can support the day of sales for 2013 figures and if a sub is offered in 2014 they can support that.

James Roebuck asks: Is it possible to have more Fan Choice action figures for Club Infinite Earths?
