Mattel Question and Answer Thread

[texgnome1]

Great round of questions there guys.  I love that we really use our heads hahahaha.  So many of the Q&As seem terribly repetitive to me.  "Can you make X character?"  Stuff like that.  Keep them coming.

[Jester]

I have to say that we had some great questions, but Matty gave us no answers. I think 1 out of 6 questions actually had an answer. Disappointing. Let's try these...

1 - If Target does not pick up JLU for 2010, will it become a Matty exclusive line?

2 - When will it be know if/when Target decides to pick up JLU for another year.

From this batch of questions....

6. We’re seeing reports that some Targets are now showing the JLU singles as NCF (Not Carried Forward) which means either a temporary or permanent discontinuation.  Do you know anything about this, and if so can you let us know?

My store does NOT show that they are Discontinued/NCF they are still active.   I will keep you all posted!!

Bat! that's good news to hear

These may have been asked previously, so feel free not to submit if they have been asked and answered.

-Even though there were only seven Justice Lord characters on the cartoon, Has Mattel considered making Justice Lord figures beyond those seven (like Dr. Fate, Starman, Dr. Light ect...)?


More of a DCUC question than a JLU one.....

-Has Mattel considered making the Justice Lords in the DCUC line? If they were in one wave, that would be one heck of an assortment wave.

Newbie here! noob

a question idea about Infinite Heroes, which have been missing from the Q&A for ages!!!!

- Mattel, despite their announcing the "Hal Jordan In Flight Jacket" figure pack, lost a lot of respect from the JLU community over the "Holiday Hal" figure debacle, and now with DC Universe and Gleek, the problem rises again.   Does Mattel realize how their is potential for the *same exact problem* with the SDCC 30" Anti-Monitor and Infinite Heroes?  Not only does the size and style (arguably) work across all the previously released DCU toy lines (Super Powers, JLU, DC Universe, Infinite Heroes), the size also brings in a minor demographic of collector- collectors of Mattel's classic Shogun Warriors (also known as Jumbo Machinders across the world) toy line.  There are many DC fans who would love to buy a Jumbo Anti-Monitor despite a high cost.

My question is, given the high interest in the larger Anti-Monitor, is there any possibility the large-scale Anti-Monitor could be re-released in the future on Mattycollector.com?  To make two lines in under three years incomplete for 99% of collectors (JLU *and* Infinite Heroes) is a little cruel to a loyal fanbase that has supported Mattel thick and thin.

What, if anything, is Mattel doing to prevent further JLU leaks?  Are there going to be any surprises left for San Diego?

[monitorep]

Question #1: Will be seeing Bat-mite and Ace the Bat-Hound in the Batman Brave & Bold lineup?

Question #2: JLU: Since the Wonder Pig worked out, could we see future DC Super-Pets down the line?

Question #3: JLU: could get other 5th dimension characters like Qwsp, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Thunderbolt?

Question #4: JLU Since the Doom Patrol has been leaked is it possiable in 2010 to do Doom Patrol wave 2: Chief, Monsier Mullah, The Brain, Beast Boy?

1) Have you ever considered sponsoring or even running a custom figure contest for DCUC or JLU?

2) I know you can't give us specific numbers, but overall, how did the Mattel-sponsored JLU three pack sale go?  Did it work well enough that we can now expect to see the Cheetah three pack and Batman Beyond three pack soon?

3) Has any thought been given to a mail-away program for JLU or DCUC?  It would seem to be a good promotional for either line. 

[Quatermain]

What is the possibility of being able to purchase the full line (past and present) of JLU figures on line?

[texgnome1]

Had another two questions come up after I wrote the other three.

Do you have any plans for more "army builders" type figures in the JLU line like the recent OMAC?

We know that the JLU line releases have been delayed.  Is it possible to get an updated approximate release schedule for the waves for the remainder of the year?

[TheOutsider]

Here is another why are the new arms and legs so rubbery




Ps- If anyone has any extra figures or casts please pm me so we can trade or I will just pay you Thanks

[H-Balm]

Is the Ghostbuster line still scheduled for th summer release (July 09) or have there been delays?

[Jester]

- Will there be any use of Anti Monitor Points after SDCC? Should us east coasters just get rid of them or will Mattel be doing something with them online?

- Has Mattel found a new distributor for JLU since the closing of the previous one this past winter?

- Obviously you want to save specifics for SDCC, but can you give us a vague idea on the rest of this years distribution for JLU.

- Will Firestorm's flames on his head be translucent like Waverider's and Atomic Skull's or will they be painted plastic like a normal head?

- If we get a Weather Wizard, do you think we would get the animated design (blue jumpsuit and goggles) or the comic version (green and yellow costume)?
