To be fair, it's highly unusual for any toy company to announce any specific figures that far out in the release schedule. So I can definitely see why people would think Matty meant 2010 in last year's announcement and the confusion about Optikk taking the May slot.

Gotcha.

Did anyone else catch this question?

1) In 2008 and in all 2009 we had the first action figures in theMOTUC Brand. In 2010 we had the first creatures, accessories and giantfigures. It seems each year, Mattel is going farther into the brand byadding new and different items. My question is, in 2011, will we havethe first playsets and/or vehicles?

Stay tuned for SDCC and you just might find out!

That's really promising! They've continually said "vehicles and playsets are not an option at this time" or "we can't afford the tooling unless this line goes to retail". In another question, someone asked about a Build-A-Castle Grayskull and the answer was "We’d rather just do the whole Castle to be honest. Maybe in a movie year…"

There may be some really big news coming at SDCC!

Do we do a Mattel Q/A?
