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.

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?

Black Arbor asks: I don’t expect as diverse a character selection as DC Universe Classics at retail ever again, but will the Batman unlimited/ DC unlimited lines have a good selection of characters (both heroes and villains) and not just variations of main characters?
