Any word on the future of DCIH? Will it merge with the upcoming Green Lantern movie line or is it still in Limbo?

He's awfully shiny, isn't he? And combined with his expression, it makes me think that burrito he had for lunch is giving him payback. o.O

In DCUC (and related lines like GL Classics), the plastic bubbles combined with the poses the figures are displayed with, in package, has a nasty habit of warping the figures limbs, especially the legs. In some cases to the point where the figure cannot stand, or is horribly deformed.
Is mattel aware of this problem, and if so, have they considered ways to potentially solve this?

I really hope that big news at SDCC is a MOTU 3.75 inch line...

Well, that's just great. Apparently the GL 3.75" line will be just like the Spider-Man line in the same scale, and have LESS articulation than DCIH. You're moving backwards, Mattel!

Don't get me wrong, gimmicks can be great and GL is a good property for them. But a gimmick should never be detrimental to a figure. Otherwise, the whole thing is crap. I guess I'll have to stick with the 6" line or just pass on the line altogether.

I might grab one or two of the 3.75'' just for the accessories to go with my DCIH ones I already have. Otherwise I agree entirely. This sucks, and I don't collect anything above 4'' anymore unless it's a character who is fitting as bigger, or is just such a clear fan fave it overrides my scale favortism.

That being said, I'll definitely be all over a 6'' parallax if they make it. The yellow demon one I mean. Not Hal or Kyle.

From what I've gathered from the Q&A and the recent article in Toy Fair, the emphasis on the small figures isn't on the figures but the gimmicks they come with. Transforming constructs IIRC.

Now the jet which they are pushing, MIGHT be cool, but I have to see it 1st. It's a tank that turns into a jet. If it turns into an F-35 with retractable landing gear, maybe I'll bite, but I'm skeptical.

The 6" Movie Masters are catered towards us but to me, they look like they were sculpted in-house and not by the 4H. Understandable since the 4H may have their hands full with DCUC, Ghost Busters, MOTUC, and their own works.The GL MM look decidedly different, like they come off more as up-scaled, improved DCIH figures.

[Specter]

man I wish there was a way hasbro could get the rights to just make DC 3 3/4 stuff. I wont buy anymore of the mattel crap I have Microman Batman,Batgirl,Catwoman, Ra's thats good enough for me. Mattel hooked me with a wide selection of so-so figures then they made better ones and it was great then when they get to the best characters they cancelled them(GA Batman,Batgirl,Harley,Ivy,Hawkgirl) then tell fans to wait an entire year for the GL line then we finally get pics they are even worse than the original DCIH(how is that even possible)

Their answer regarding the Green Lantern Movie Masters confirmed what I was thinking all along, that they(aside from the C&C) were sculpted in house by Mattel and not the 4H.

4 ¼-inch scale two-packs? How did I miss this at Toy Fair? If the Young Justice adults are scaled to 4 1/4" (as opposed to the sidekicks) then that's the same scale as the latest MU and GI Joe toys.

I've been sitting around sad since Toy Fair that Infinite Heroes were over, and they've replaced them with a JL/IH hybrid line instead.

Excuse me, I need to go camp outside of ToysRus and wait for these to come out. See you guys in June.

[scarecrow]

The last question actually has a nice answer. We need a Liam Neeson Ra's.

Uhh no MU is 4 inch. That's 1/4 inch too tall. Aren't JLU 5 inch? So then it makes sense that the kids are shorter than the adults. Plus JLU has worse articulation than DCIH had. Mattel seems to be averse to decent articulation on their smaller figures.

4) Does the Voltron Force license enable you to make transforming/combining toys/figures of Dairugger XV(the Voltron made of multiple vehicles)?
A) Yes, our license covers this type of execution.

Although why you'd WANT them to reissue THAT one is another story...

I HAD one of those... you'll learn.

The Voltron Answer has me worried. Design "in house".

Yes, because everything Matty does "in house" has been free of Q/A issues oh and assembly problems. /sarcasm Not like the 4H don't know what they are doing every time of day either. "Overworked?" Riiiight.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

Yep keep those blinders on Matty for your crappy 3 3/4 inch figures.
