1. Noisy asks<\/em>: We love the He-Man stands coming this February on Mattycollector.com, but we feel odd placing our evil masters on the Castle Grayskull bases. Is Mattel open to the idea of doing a different set of stands for evil characters? Maybe something reminiscent of a certain mountain?<\/p>\n

This is a great suggestion! We\u2019ll have to look into it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Vault asks<\/em>: Diversity is one of the greatest aspects of the the DC Classics line, but there are still some decos of the A-listers I’d like to see on my shelves. Wave 12 seems to indicate that the overall line’s direction is moving to use the A-Listers as WGSH figures that aren’t part of the lineup. I think this is a great idea, but can we ever expect those A-list All-Star figures to be in alternate costumes instead of just rereleases?<\/p>\n

We will continue to release not just A-list characters but many DC characters in multiple outfits, and not just through variants too! What outfits remains to be seen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Manekochan asks<\/em>: This is sort of a follow up to Vault’s question. Is Mattel interested in, or can Mattel even produce DCUC figures in alternate costumes that didn’t appear in the comics? Specifically, something like Superman-X from the Legion cartoon or the Justice Lords Superman from JLU. Are these non-canon versions within the realm of possibility, or should I be looking for a good customizer?<\/p>\n

Mattel has been doing alternative decos for DC characters for years. A perfect example is the Dark Knight 5\u201d line that includes many versions of Batman never seen in the comics or movies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Rant asks<\/em>: I feel a bit in limbo as a JLU collector. I know you can’t be specific about the future of the line, but perhaps you can tell us when can we expect to be given new items to buy?<\/p>\n

We are working hard on new product. I can tell you that The Doom Patrol JLU set comes out this November on MattyCollector.com. Stay tuned for more updates!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

5. SilntAngl asks<\/em>: I love the Ghostbusters Classics, but one of my favorite things from the old line and the minimates is missing: the proton streams! The light effects on the trap are great, but clip-on proton streams for the wands would be a neat effect. Has there been any discussion around the Mattel offices of such a wonderful accessory?<\/p>\n

We have discussed adding proton streams. Stay tuned for more information in the future. <\/strong><\/p>\n
