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 September 17th, 2012. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on August 31st.
I should have posted this yesterday, but I didn’t receive the answers until late in the evening, so I decided to save them for today. Anyway, these are the answers for the August 15th session of Ask Mattel. We’ve got a wide range of questions this time, so let’s just jump right in, shall we?
If the Superboy and Miss Martian 2 packs sell well enough, could we possibly see more 6″ Young Justice 2 packs in the future? Maybe some characters from the second season, Invasion? Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Lagoon Boy, Nightwing, Tim Drake Robin perhaps?
No. The only reason we can offer these is because the sculpts were done. We don’t have the resources for additional sculpting. This last set is a “gift” for fans (if we get the min order).
Will the Watchmen figures come with character appropriate accessories? I noticed at SDCC that Dr. Manhattan was posed with no accessories and that Rorschach came with a grapple gun, but will he also come with a gas gun? Perhaps including Bubastis with Ozymandias? Some cool gadgets to go with Owl Man? Will Comedian come with his guns, and maybe a second head with the S&M mask?
During SDCC, the Ask Matty schedule got a little crazy, but everything is back to normal. 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 September 1st, 2012. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on August 14th.
Brandon Gibbs asks: In the reviews of Rocket Red for the DC subscription, he appears to be much larger in comparison to a standard figure than he has been to regular characters in virtually all his comic appearances. Also, the particular RR design seems to be between the original JLI Dmitri version most people favor and the current DCnU version. Can you talk a little about the design choices for Rocket Red so fans will understand why these elements were chosen?
This was completely a choice from the Horsemen and Mattel design in order to maximize shared parts and deliver a unique figure.
Troy asks: Considering the key role Emiliano Santalucia played in creating the Classics line for MOTU, would it be possible to get some kind of credit for him on the packaging, such as ‘Created by Emiliano Santalucia’ – even if it is only on the white mailers under the MOTU logo.
Rizwan asks: So you don’t have the licence for ThunderCats toys. Given the situation, planning to pursue it?
Sorry, we can not comment on the acquisition of any property.
Ismail Kaddoum asks: Dear Matty,
Will there be any other Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters other than the original 6(to complete the Bat-Signal) and the SDCC exclusive?
Alright guys, it’s that time again for Ask Mattel! All questions are due by 11:59 PM CST June 30th, 2012. These questions are for the July 15th Q&A with Mattel. If you have any questions at all regarding any of Mattel’s brands leave them in a comment below and I’ll do my best to make sure Mattel gets them answered.
Scyphio McClinton asks: Will Matty in the near future re release the voltron red lion with the driver again for those that missed out ?
No. We offered this item by sub specifically so fans would not miss out and sold additional quota during the day-of sale. We are not doing a second run.
Brian asks: Can we get any information as to when the DC All Stars figures are supposed to be in stores?
Alright guys, it’s that time again for Ask Mattel! This one kind of sneaked up on me, so I apologize for the immediacy of this, but all questions are due by 11:59 PM CST June 14th (i.e. TONIGHT), 2012. These questions are for the July 1st Q&A with Mattel. If you have any questions at all regarding any of Mattel’s brands leave them in a comment below and I’ll do my best to make sure Mattel gets them answered.
Welcome to the latest edition of Ask Mattel! Let’s just jump right in and read the questions you submitted, and the answers given by Mattel’s staff.
Dwaine asks: Will there be a pre sale for temple of darkness Sorceress for power con?
No. We are just brining units to the show to sell.
Jared asks: Can you explain the decision to make the SDCC Death an 8 inch statue, instead of a DCUC 6″ figure? Many fans would love a 6″ Death and Sandman to go with their DCUC collections. Did you only have the license to make her a statue, or was it completely a design choice? And if you do have the license to make figures of these characters, will we ever see them as figures?
