I've been operating under the assumption Mattel was the same (With a limit of five, as that seems to be the normal number), as opposed to submitting a bunch of questions,a nd they answer which ones they choose to.
I could be wrong though, as I don't actually handle these. Shin Densetsu does these, and I believe he picks and chooses which questions get submitted.

Yes I pick and choose the questions, and sometimes when there aren't a lot of new questions to choose from or questions that can't be answered, I go with what I have. Now the reason why I even sent some of the "why can't we have DC like Marvel Universe...." questions is so that they are aware that YES there is demand for figures like that and I did have some hope of them finally just blurting out something definitive regarding 4" fully articulated DC Universe figures. Why? It keeps getting brought up in this thread, it seems to be a top demand for DC fans.

I do agree that the 4H style of crotch/hips would work well in 4" scale however my gut feeling is that Mattel would not get the 4H to do a 4" DC line because it may take their time away from 6" DCUC, Movie Masters, MOTUC and whatever else they are working on for Mattel. I would love to eat my words and see the 4H do it, I know they can pull it off but who knows.

There is a limit of 5 questions to send but there are typically 2 sessions per month, but only 1 this month due to SDCC.

Usually with Mattel, they will never tell you what new figure/product is coming out if they have not already revealed it. Questions they usually answer in detail are usually about their design process, why something was done, why something wasn't done, et al.

At this point, for the past few years they've shown that for collectors, they are focusing primarily on 6" scale while their 3-3/4" scale are for kids and as we know, end up with mixed reviews, which is the best way I can describe it.
