Does anyone know if/when Mattel will release GL:TAS action figures?

[DocSeth81]

unfortunatly at this time Matty canceled the line because the movie figures sold really badly.  Almost a year later they are still clogging pegs.  Maybe some day we'll see them but it isnt very likely. 

the first wave was going to be
Hal
Kilowog
Atrocitus
Zillius Zox

A certain board member here has prototypes of all of them.  They looked cool but were a little smaller than JLU, so aside for Zox, I probably would've passed on them

There is not interest from retailers, for the reason the DOC said. Over Christmas time Green Lantern movies figures were on discount and they still  didn't sell out, whereas all the Marvel figures were gone from shelves.

The movie figures were awful - no wonder they are peg warmers not even anything useful to use for customs either

they were beyond awful ... Ijust don't understand how Mattel can see all the Iron Man, etc. toys and then release the crappy GL toys. DKR is a little better but not much.

I know they are looking at the Hasbro stuff too because it's standard practice to buy samples of your competitors products. We have closets here of competitors clothes. It's just standard practice to know what's happening in your realm.

Yeah, I love GLTAS I wish there was going to be toys. I snatched up the McDs Happy Meal toys as soon as they showed up on eBay. The GL movie toys were really, really bad... to bad Matty can't learn from their mistakes and re launch with awesome GLTAS figures. If they look bad ass kids and collectors would buy.

The prototypes look good but apparently the retailers saw the name "Green Lantern" and said hell no! They can't give away the crappy movie figures.

Unless Mattel releases them under the DC Nation title they are not coming out.

Actually that's not a bad idea!

[graphix1971]

That idea has been bantered around here and on the Matty board for a while as a way to get those figures, the unreleased Young Justice, the upcoming Beware the Batman, shorts figures as well as possibly new JLU. It could be a winner if done right, but I'm not convinced that Matty would be able to do it right.

Prototypes up here, including a mislabelled YJ 4" Red Arrow:

I've bid on the Red Arrow to serve up to the casting gods if I win, btw, so, Stew and Co, that would come your way.

Then by all means I hope you win, because that'd be a great cast to have!
