<\/a>1. SilntAngl asks:<\/em> In a recent article<\/a> on our site, we talked about the different bucks that could be used for the Legion. A lot of our readers were in favor of seeing the Legion done using the Sinestro buck and not the younger buck used for Kid Flash (it’s simply too small for teenage characters). Does Mattel still have the Sinestro buck available? We haven’t seen it since it’s initial use in 2008.<\/p>\n

Yes, I still have the Sinestro buck available and will take this into consideration when we do Legion figures. <\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Mr. Rant asks:<\/em> I know that Egon’s resealable package was an SDCC feature, but it was much better than the subsequent Ray Stantz packaging. Would Mattel consider going back to the resealable packaging for future Ghostbusters figures?<\/A><\/p>\n

I hear you, but all of the GB figures going forward will have sealed packaging.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Manekochan asks<\/em>: In the last round, you let me know we wouldn’t be seeing Plastic Man in the form of an eagle. How about Plastic Man shaped like a bucket with his face inside?<\/p>\n

Ha! No on that, too, but when we do get to Plastic Man you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Noisy asks<\/em>: In the last round, questions about the range of the ball-jointed neck on DCUC figures were met with responses that articulation would be added\/removed when appropriate. But to fans, this is a quality control issue. Earlier figures, like Aquaman or Blue Beetle, have excellent range whereas more recent figures, like Robotman, are permanently facing down. Has Mattel decided to limit the ball-joint purposefully or is this an error in production that can be remedied?<\/p>\n

Neither really. It is handled on a figure by figure basis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Vault asks<\/em>: We have a Matty Shipping Calendar<\/a> on our site that keeps track of Matty on-sale dates so fans know what to expect in any given month. We’re working on the 2010 calendar and are wondering about the remaining Movie Masters figures. Will those still be released in the same order as revelaed at SDCC despite the one month delay? Will you be announcing any Matty 2010 dates soon?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll try to stay about 3-4 months ahead with release date announcements, so you should hear about January and February product soon. We\u2019re still catching up.<\/strong><\/p>\n
