Yeah yeah, I know it’s January 6th, but technically this was supposed to be for January 2nd, but I wasn’t able to get around to posting the answers until today. Apologies all.
Ron asks: For the remaining 2014 DC Classics line, is the announced “Goodbye Gift” item a full action figure or an extra pack-in type item and will it be released last after the already announced 5 figures (Aquaman/Ice/Superboy/Robin/Doomsday) ?
We actually have not announced a “goodbye gift”. We are looking into the possible exploration of maybe a goodbye item (to purchase) but it is not confirmed and at this point highly unlikely due to not even hitting tier 1 of the DC sub for 2014. Without a dedicated locked customer base, it is difficult to make more collector product.
Ron asks: Will or can the 4 Horseman’s buck bodies from the cancelled DC line continued to be used for another or new Mattel action figure line?

There were some difficulties for a while, but now it’s that time again for Ask Mattel. Recently Mattel made some changes about what you can and can’t ask questions about. Basically, it has to be about one of their Mattycollector properties. This means there can’t be any Hot Wheels, Monster High, or DC related questions unless it’s about something that will be sold exclusively on Mattycollector. So, if you’d like to ask Mattel a question about any of its Mattycollector brands, leave them as comments to this post. I’ll pick five out of the bunch to be answered on January 1st, 2014. All questions need to be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on December 13th, 2013.
As the 2013 New York Comic-Con approaches this weekend, the people over at Mattel are setting up as we speak. However, before the show starts Scott Neitlich (AKA Toyguru) put up a new video for us, showing off the final version of the MOTUC Castle Grayskull playset. This is the final model that will be going into production. Masters of the Universe Classics fans should be pleased with this one. It’s going to come with a ton of cool items that harken back to the vintage Castle Grayskull playset. Scott even goes so far as to give several measurements of the MOTUC Castle Grayskull to give an idea of scale. It looks plenty big for the Masters of the Universe Classics figures. Of course it’s not in scale with them, but to truly be in scale with them the playset would likely need to be as big as a small house. As is, I look forward to getting the MOTUC Castle Grayskull playset.
