Mattel Q&A For July 15th

Mattel took time out to answer some questions:

1) Are there any DCU character you don't have access to?

There are not any specific characters that are off limits, but each character is evaluated individually by Mattel, DC and Warner Brothers to decide how he, she or it fits into each line. (for example, we work with DC Direct to try and not overlap the same characters they are offering in the same year)

2) What about Vertigo (Swamp Thing, Hellblazer) or Wildstorm (Wildcats, Gen13)?

Swamp Thing rides the fence since he is also a DCU character. Other Vertigo and Wildstorm characters are not part of our contract.

3) Will there be anymore The Batman figures?

Not in 2008, but with the advent of our new collector web store we are revisiting this line and reviewing fan interest in more characters in this style.

4) Have there been any changes to the DCU release dates?

Actually yes. We recently changed production vendors in an attempt to improve the quality of our product. Because of this, Wave 3 should be out in late July. After that, the second half of Wave 2 will hit selves (with Jason as Firestorm). From there we should be back on track with Wave 4, The Wal Mart Wave 5 and Wave 6 (to be revealed at SDCC) hitting shelves before 2008 is over. Read more...

No current plans for a movie-style 6" scale Abomination.

Check out the SDCC product unveils starting 7/23!

3) when will the spider-man H/V wave with carnage, iron spidey, etc. be released?

The Spider-Man Classic 6" line should make its way to shelves startingin August.

4) What about the 8" Legends Unleashed, will it continue with new figures?

There should be a new Iron Man Unleashed figure hitting shelves justabout now. At this point it looks like we're going to rest it for a whilewhen we get to 2009….

5) What's the official word on the Marvel 3 3/4th inch line?

The official word is no plans for 3-3/4" in 2008. Read more...

3) Do you plan on doing anymore two packs for DCUC other than the two already annouced?

Yes. These will continue into 2009 if there is enough fan interest.

Mattel Q&A For June 1st

Mattel took time out to answer some questions:

1) This is a long winded question, but across the web, people are quick to criticize Mattel on the distribution of the various action figure lines. Obviously once it leaves your docks & arrives at distribution centers for Wal-Mart & Target, it's the stores responsibility to distribute the figures to their stores. And then the individual stores to supply the figures to the racks. Where does Mattel fit into this process, if at all?

Mattel takes orders from our retail partners and supplies them either directly from our factories in China or domestically from our domestic (USA) warehouses. Once product is in the hands of a retail partner it is up to them to bring it to the shelf.

2) Are there any plans to have Legion of Super-Heroes figures in the JLU line? From the "Far From Home" story.

Possibly…

3) What is the street date for the new Super Friends figures?

Hawkman and Cyborg should be out this summer.

4) Are any movies beside The Dark Knight and Batman Begins going to be in Movie Masters line, like Superman Returns?

We do not have plans for Superman Returns at this time, but we do have big big plans for the Movie Masters line. You will just have to wait for Comic Con San Diego.

5) Is Mattel planning on having a website where people can see the various DC lines? You have other lines that have sites, why not the DC stuff?

This is something we are working on and hope to have news at San Diego Comic Con. Read more...
