\nDCClassics.Com: <\/strong><\/span>Is the Black Lantern Hal Jordan finalized or is there time to switch his skintone to the washed out grey the “living” Black Lanterns were depicted with in Blackest Night<\/em>?<\/p>\n

The images seen are prototypes but we are pretty far along in the process and most deco and sculpting is final on Wave 17.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ItsAllTrue.Net Asks:<\/strong><\/span> This year Hasbro switched to biodegradeable twist ties, has Mattel looked into similar ways to make their packaging more Eco-friendly?<\/p>\n

Yes, this is something we have looked into and will use when we can.<\/strong><\/p>\n

MOTUClassics.Com:<\/strong><\/span> Will King Hssss have some minions this year or are Snakemen fans in for a long wait like Horde fans were between Hordak & Grizzlor?<\/p>\n

We do have more Snake Men coming. By 2017 if the line continues on the current road map all of the vintage Snake Men will be done. <\/strong><\/p>\n


\nDCClassics.Com:<\/strong><\/span> Wave 17 presents collectors with a new unfinished “team”: the deputy lanterns. Is Mera being prioritized in anyway to get that team completed?<\/p>\n

See our Facebook posting<\/a> on Wave 17 for the full scoop on Mera! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Editor’s Note:<\/strong> Here’s the quote concerning Mera from that Facebook posting. We’re marking this answer down as a “No”.<\/span><\/p>\n

…while she did not make the cut this time around, we do know fans want complete sets and we are committed to one day<\/strong> getting her out there!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ItsAllTrue.Net Asks:<\/strong><\/span> This question is for Toy Guru: A lot of toy news sites are naming the top figures of 2010, but what toys are in your Top Ten? <\/p>\n

Toy Guru jumping in on this one:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy top ten toys? Well lets see, a lot of this may come down to figures I personally quested to get into plastic. Here\u2019s a run down off the top of my head: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. GB Peter Venkman with Protonstream<\/strong> \u2013 this is clearly the best GB figure to date and if you were going to have just one, he\u2019s the one to get. <\/li>\n
  2. MOTUC Trap Jaw<\/strong> \u2013 with swappable heads, hands and weapons, we really did him justice! Likely the best figure in the line. (Buzz Off for me is a close second!)<\/li>\n
  3. DCUC Golden Pharaoh<\/strong> \u2013 now come on, when we started the line did anyone expect this? I love pulling off the unexpected and meeting fan demand at the same time!<\/li>\n
  4. JLU Manhunter Robots<\/strong> \u2013 a long overdue addition to the line and with two in a pack it\u2019s perfect for army building! <\/li>\n
  5. MOTUC Battle Cat<\/strong> \u2013 no collection is complete without He-Man\u2019s steed. The Horsemen really hit a home run with this one. <\/li>\n
  6. GB PKE Meter<\/strong> \u2013 our first crack at a prop replica and I think we really did it justice. Plus the package is some of the best ever!<\/li>\n
  7. DCUC Kamandi<\/strong> \u2013 of all the DCUC figures to date, this one was a personal pick from my desk. I always wanted a Kamandi figure and it was a thrill to get him into the line. <\/li>\n
  8. JLU Gray Ghost<\/strong> \u2013 while he did not make it everywhere in 2010 (he will continue to ship in 2011) this was a figure I also personally wanted since I first saw young Bruce Wayne play with one on the classic BTAS episode. He came out great!<\/li>\n
  9. Retro Action Batman<\/strong> \u2013 the quintessential DC Retro Action figure and he even has a removable mask! <\/li>\n
  10. MOTUC Chief Carnivus<\/strong> \u2013 this was also a personal pick from my desk. When I was a kid I loved the Disney Robin Hood animated movie. At the end of the film King Richard shows up as a giant lion warrior. I always wanted a toy of that and when I saw Carnivus in the 2002 series he evoked this image for me. It was a thrill to get him his first action figure!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
