Ask Matty – September 1st Edition<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/center> <\/p>\n

DCClassics.Com Asks:<\/strong><\/span> In regards to the Dark Knight Returns Batman, the shoulders (or whatever parts) he shares from MOTUC were stressed as part of a one-time deal. What needs to happen to push Mattel into making – at least – a second exception for a Dark Knight Rises Superman? <\/p>\n

Keep posting requests online and let us know at conventions!<\/strong><\/p>\n

MOTUClassics.Com Asks:<\/strong><\/span> In regards to the “new” surprises, triggered by the 135% sell-thru, are we talking simply new “skus” or possibly new, short-term “niche” subscriptions like Watchmen?<\/p>\n

You’ll just need to wait and see!<\/strong><\/p>\n

MOTUClassics.Com Asks:<\/strong><\/span> When Mattel re-uses a MOTUC mold, or part of a mold for another line (like Max Steel), does that help extrapolate the costs of that mold more effectively?<\/p>\n

It saves Max Steel money but there is no effect for MOTU. <\/strong><\/p>\n

MOTUClassics.Com Asks:<\/strong><\/span> With subscription dynamics dictating that 2014 be focused on vintage characters, what should subscribers who have enjoyed the blended line be looking forward to beyond vintage updates?<\/p>\n

Toy Guru:<\/span> This a tough one and it all comes down to how many customers we have. Now that the 2013 sub sold in at barely above the min, it is most likely we will not be able to do as robust a 2014 line as we had in 2011-2013. So with very few slots (comparably) the question to fans is “how would you want Mattel to use the few slots we will get?” Would you want only vintage or would you want concept figures still? My best guess is if we concentrate on vintage figs and key animation figs, we will do the best by the fans. <\/strong><\/p>\n

DCClassics.Com Asks:<\/strong><\/span> Will any of Plastic Man’s parts be compatible with Elongated Man? <\/p>\n

We actually do not know yet as we don’t have a sample to check. <\/strong><\/p>\n
