Some of our collections won&#8217;t be complete without Krypto, Streaky, Ace, Rex the Wonder Dog, and of course, Detective Chimp. Are there any plans for this important subset of DC Characters?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toy Guru is a huge proponent of Detective Chimp. As for the other super pets, nothing to announce yet, but anything is possible!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><P>2. <em>Mr. Rant asks:<\/em> I&#8217;m content with the Wonder Twins Eagle standing in for Zoar and Screech, but is there any chance of the birds getting their harnesses anytime soon?<\/A><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yes, we do have plans for the perch and harness for the MOTU birds in all the needed colors!

What unreleased figure, across any of the lines you cover, are you most looking forward to seeing hit the toy aisles?<\/p>\n<p><strong>BattleCat from MOTU Classics is a huge favorite around here as are finishing the rest of the Ghostbuster crew. In the DC world, our Retro Action vintage cloth figures (starting with Green Arrow, available Dec 15th only on Mattycollector.com) is going to be great!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4. <em>Noisy asks<\/em>: Can you talk a little bit about Movie Masters figures and their status? I think I speak for all the Movie Masters fans when I say we feel like the odd collectors out with the delays and lack of information?<\/p>\n<p><strong>We had to skip the November figure due to some shipping issues, but we will pick back up in December with Survival Suit Bruce Wayne and continue offering one figure per month on Mattycollector.com. We\u2019ve also been able to increase production to lower the price to 15.00 per figure going forward.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5.<em> Vault asks<\/em>: I love the commitment that&#8217;s been made to Super Powers figures. Utilizing the separate variants and making the lesser known characters is great! Is there any interest in delving into the fabled &#8220;4th wave characters&#8221; &#8211; beyond the original 33? I&#8217;ve been wanting a Steve Trevor, a.k.a. Rocketman, ever since it was shown years ago.
