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 April 15th, 2013. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on March 29th, 2013.
Over at Action Figure Insider, they got the scoop on the reveal of Mattel’s Cesar Romero Joker from their upcoming 1966 Batman Movie Masters toy line. I have to say, it looks very awesome and makes my own custom Cesar Romero Joker look obsolete. And unless it’s just hidden in the photo, he doesn’t seem to have full leg articulation, but it is supposed to be a prototype, so I’m sure that will change.

Hey everyone! I know I should have had this posted on Friday, but this past weekend was so crazy for me I just wasn’t anywhere near my computer! But here it is now, and hopefully is informative enough to make up for the delay. Onto the Q&A!
It seems that the only characters revealed for the 60′s Batman line (with the exception of swim trunks Batman) are the characters that appeared in the movie. Now, I know it’d be tough to sell kids a Book worm, Louie the Lilac or Chief O’Hara figure, but are there going to be more characters than the ones announced? I don’t need specifics, but I’d love to have more from this line.
For 2013 the line consists of the figures that were announced at NYTF. Now we announced, but did not yet reveal the Catwoman and The Joker figures – so be on the lookout for those images soon!
It was announced that the CIE 2013 line was to have no new sculpts. Not that I’m going to complain because we are getting her, but how is Huntress not a new sculpt figure? Or does this mean Mattel is approving more ‘buck figures’ with extra add-ons for the CIE line?

Hey everybody! Here’s the full Q&A for the March 1st Ask Mattel session. Some of the questions have already been answered since these questions were submitted, and some just weren’t answered at all. Still, there’s some good information this round. Read on!
Can you tell us the exact height of the Castle Grayskull prototype shown at Toy Fair? A lot of people seem to be complaining that it’s much shorter than originally proposed on the B-Sheet, but to my eyes it looks almost the same height. So I was wondering if we could get the exact dimensions on that to compare to the original B-Sheet. Thanks.
We just posted a video on Youtube/Facebook showing it compared to the vintage and 2002 Castles. It is about 23″ tall.
I love the upcoming 1966 Batman movie masters toy line. It looks amazing. Can you tell us how you guys came to the decision of making this a mass market release? It seems weird that a toy line based on a TV show from almost 50 years ago is getting such a big release, and gets a 6″ scaled Batmobile to boot. Is it a push by WB? Or is memoribilia from that era of Batman just still that popular that it’s a safe bet the figures will sell?

In the video, he also gives out a bunch of rough measurements of the new upcoming playset, to give fans a better idea of exactly what they’re getting.

Today, Mattel sent out a sneak peek image to all Masters of the Universe Classics subscribers showing off an accessory that’s being included with one of their upcoming figures in their Club Filmation toy line.
For those who don’t know, Mattel is offering a Club Filmation subscription toy line separate from its main Masters of the Universe Classics toy line that’s set to include 6 fan favorite characters that only ever appeared in the old Masters of the Universe and She-Ra cartoons by Filmation. The first three figures have already been revealed at the 2013 New York Toy Fair, and are Batros, Icer, and Shokoti.
