Q1. Is it possible that in the DCUC 2010 Lex/Super girl 2-pack we see a true shaped armor Lex with round pads instead of the DCSH square shoulder pad version and perhaps Classic matrix super girl as tall as wonder woman?

A1. The 2-pack will have the existing Lex Luthor. All the 2 packs are designed to get older figures out for new collectors just joining up in the DCUC collecting fun. Our tooling for this brand tends to go to the new figures in the singles. We may look at a retool of Lex in this suit in the future, but not in this set.

Q2. Masters of the Universe: When Orko is made, will he have a true face, or will he simply have floaty eyes and blue ears on a shapeless black form like the original from the 80’s?

A2. It is too early to tell, but Orko is coming in 2010.

Q3. Ghostbusters Classics: Any chance of a full-sized animated series character of Sam Hain? You know, the pumpkin patch ghostie?

A3. It is possible. We are looking at the animated series for all those great villain ghosts. How and when they will appear in a Mattel line has yet to be revealed.

Q4. mattycollector.com – international tax – Mattel recently announced that those international fans who purchased the subscription would receive a refund of the mysterious $3.00 tax they were charged. However, a large number of international fans have also been charged the mysterious $3.00 tax on each and every individual figure order they have placed – does Mattel plan on also refunding these amounts to international fans?

A4. We’ll pass this along to the Mattycollector.com team and make sure any taxes which are not required are refunded.

Q5. 6" Movie Masters Superman and Zod, when we"ll be able to get them?

A5. This is to be determined.

Q6. With rumors flying all over the place already about SDCC 2010 exclusives for DCUC, and MOTU Classics is popular enough to warrant it, with the questionable future of JLU, will JLU fans at least still be able to look forward to a SDCC 2010 Exclusive? You obviously don’t have to reveal what it would be, just IF there will be one?

A6. We’ll have to see!

Q7. I know that Mattel says it is trying to get new product to the stores. But Target has singles listed as NCF and has not had a new 3-pack in almost 12 months. Is Target still on board with singles and/or 3-packs? If not is there a plan to still get us the singles and/or 3-packs that have been announced (Mattycollector.com, Big Lots)?

A7. Right now, JLU is a Target exclusive (plus the MattyCollector.com 4 packs). If this changes we will let our fans know.

Q8. DCUC – Public Enemies Series – Will this series of action figures be available at Target stores internationally (particularly Australia)? Or is it a US Target only exclusive?

A8. It is available to all Target stores worldwide.

Q9. Movie Masters – 12" Zodd, Superman and Ghostbusters- Is there any chance of an articulation run-down or description of the "base bodies" for these figures? Are they articulated like a "Barbie" or similar to a Sideshow figure?

A9. Both figures use a brand new 12” body developed by Mattel specifically with the adult collector in mind.

Q10. mattycollector availability – According to Mattel’s most recent update, DCUC Wave 9 will be available at mattycollector as "singles".
However, the update was unclear as to the availability of DCUC Wave 11 onwards – will these also be available as "singles" or only in "box sets"? Will each of the DCUC "All Stars" figures also be available as singles at mattycollector?

A10. Our plans for Wave 9 on Mattycollector.com have changed. Right now we are working on Wave 11 as a box set (but it will not include the All Star figures). Once we have confirmation on this we will announce it on Mattycollector.com. As you know, nothing is confirmed until we announce it on the site.
