<\/center> 1. SilntAngl asks:<\/em> Green Arrow is one of the coolest DC Classics so far, particularly because of the wrist articulation and the cool poses it allows for! Is this an articulation point that Mattel would consider using more openly? Or at least on figures that use weapons\/martial arts and could benefit from the jointed wrists?<\/p>\n We do not want to over-articulate figures, but for those who need special articulation to hold weapons or strike iconic poses, we will do all we can to make this happen. The sculpts are too beautiful to interrupt with unneeded articulation!<\/strong><\/p>\n 2. Mr. Rant asks:<\/em> I liked the recent Webstor release, but I wasn\u2019t happy with the weaker plastic used in the grappling hook shaft and the gun. My Man-At-Arms figure had a similar problem with some of his accessories too. Was this an attempt to make the weapons more durable or just factory errors? If I had a vote, I prefer the sturdier weapons from the other figures.<\/A><\/p>\n It was done to help the weapons fit better in the figure’s hands. <\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Manekochan asks<\/em>: On that same note, the material used for the Human Mantis cape was a surprise to me. Many of the other figures in the line end up with a bulky\/heavy cape that weighs on the figure (i.e. Superman) and sometimes can even make the figure not stand well (i.e. Cyborg Superman). Is there any chance the material used for Mantis could be re-used on other caped figures? <\/p>\n This is something we are looking into. <\/strong><\/p>\n 4. Adventure Vault asks<\/em>: At NYCC, Mattel displayed a modern Guardian figure that later had to be dropped due to cost considerations. This reminded us of the very beginning of the line and the modern Red Tornado variant. Does Mattel keep these dropped variants top of mind or should fans of those versions move on?<\/p>\n We do have plans to get to these variants eventually. Likely in a multi-pack. <\/strong><\/p>\n 5. Noisy asks<\/em>:I\u2019ve been trying to think of a JLU question, but I give up. I guess I\u2019ll join the pack and ask a DC Classics question. I love the figures, but so many of the figures end up with two fists, that it\u2019s starting to be somewhat silly. It\u2019d be great if some figures, like Black Canary, would have an open hand to pick up another character\u2019s accessory or if Black Adam could hold his necklace instead of just wearing it. Has Mattel given any thought to sprinkling in more open hands to increase pose & play value for these figures?<\/p>\n Yes, this is something we are looking into. We always strive to create variety in the line! <\/strong><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/newsimages\/matty\/askmL4.png?w=640\")
