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 16th, 2013. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on August 29th, 2013.
Mattel just revealed on their Mattycollector Facebook page that the canceled Damian Wayne Robin figure would be in the 2014 Club Infinite Earths subscription for the DC Universe Signature Collection! This figure was originally slated for a retail release in the Batman Unlimited line, but both Batman Unlimited and DC Unlimited have been cancelled, and with them some figures that fans were looking forward to. Damian Wayne was revealed earlier this year to much fan excitement, but when it was cancelled a lot of fans immediately started asking Mattel to include him in the subscription for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths. Well it looks like those people got their wish, because it’s happening.
To sign up for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths and keep the Mattel DC action figures coming, just CLICK HERE! You’re only charged for the sub exclusive figure and that’s it! Sign up period ends Monday!

Mattel is sending out as many previews as they can to whet fans’ whistles and get them excited for the 2014 Masters of the Universe Classics Club Eternia subscription. This time, Mattel has posted some concept artwork that will appear on the box that the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Modulok figure will come in. Of course, this artwork will be for naught if Mattel doesn’t reach the minimum number of subscribers to the 2014 Club Eternia by August 19th. Hopefully they will more than reach the numbers and we can continue this truly amazing toy line for at least one more year.

The DC Universe Signature Collection is set to be quite spectacular next year. The lineup for 2014 so far seems to be a hit amongst DC fans. We’re getting a ton of figures that have been fan demanded for almost as long as the DC Universe Classics line has been around, such as 90’s Hook Hand Aquaman, jeans & t-shirt Superboy, Ice, and a brand new large Doomsday action figure! Of course we can only get these if Mattel gets the minimum number of subscribers to Club Infinite Earths by August 19th. There are two goals to reach. The first one gets us a Doomsday figure in his containment suit, while the other gets us “Doomsday Unleashed”, in his most iconic look that fans know and love. Both figures are very large, and are sure to please everyone who has been wanting a larger Doomsday figure for their collection, ever since the original DC Superheroes Doomsday figure had been released. Scott Neitlich, AKA “Toyguru” has posted a preview video of the Doomsday figures up to give us a proper size comparison and a closer look at what we’re getting if we sign up for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths subscription.

Ghostbusters fans were more than a bit surprised to find out at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con that Mattel was planning a Movie Masters 6″ scaled Ecto-1 car to go with their 6″ Movie Masters Ghostbusters action figures. The thing is, Mattel needs a minimum number of pre-orders in order for it to go through, and all fans have to go on right now is a mockup and some promises from Mattel that it will be amazing. That, and the hefty $215 price tag have naturally caused many fans to be hesitant, to the point that the pre-orders are very low right now, especially since the deadline is August 19th. In order to answer fans’ questions and hopefully alleviate fears and encourage people to pre-order, Scott Neitlich, AKA “Toyguru” posted on the Mattycollector Facebook page. In it, they talk about how there is absolutely no charge whatsoever to pre-order, among other things.

darkknight asks: Will there still be Movie Masters figures made in the 6″ scale for future DC movies? The information revealed at SDCC has many fans worried that there will be no more 6″ Movie Masters figures at all, so it would be great if that could get cleared up. I hope there will continue to be 6″ Movie Masters.
At this time the future of the line is in the 4″ scale but it doesn’t mean we couldn’t return to 6″ in the future.
EctoCooler asks: On Mattycollector.com, it says fans have until November 5th to pre-order, but Toyguru recently posted an update about the Ecto-1 and the subscriptions and said August 19th was the deadline. Was this a typo, or has it been changed? Because that’s a mighty big typo if so. A lot of Ghostbusters fans are panicking because of it.

During the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, Mattel announced the 2014 Club Eternia subscription exclusive figure for Masters of the Universe Classics would be a character called The Unnamed One. The interesting (or frustrating, depending on who you talk to) thing about this figure is that nobody gets to know what it looks like until it arrives at peoples’ homes during the first quarter of next year. However, to whet peoples’ appetites for the character, Mattel has revealed some background information on the character known only as The Unnamed One.
