1) SilntAngl asks:<\/em> Without revealing the MOTUC figure slotted, what release (Sept-Dec) is Toy Guru most looking forward to in the last thirdof the year and why?<\/p>\n

Scott Neitlich jumping in on this one since you asked:<\/em> It is a tough one. The September figure is one I really couldn\u2019t wait for since day one of when we created the Classics line, but the December figure is one of my favorite figures of all time. Honestly, the last quarter of the year is chock full of so much MOTUC goodness it is hard to pick a favorite! \ud83d\ude00 <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>2) Noisy asks:<\/em> The latest “Best Of” case reissued three more characters from the Giganta wave. That makes Gentlemen Ghost the only Wave 8 figure to not be reissued leaving many fans with headless Gigantas. Is Mattel looking into adding him and his Giganta parts to a future “best of” assortment?\n<\/p>\n

The All Star figures will always have a stand so even if Gentleman Ghost was a \u201cBest of Figure\u201d he would not include the Giganta head. We totally hear that he was a hard to find figure and as such so was the Giganta head. The All Star figures may not be the avenue to get her head back out there, but we\u2019ll try to find a way! As for Gentleman Ghost, we will also try to find a way to get him back out there in time. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Editor’s Note:<\/em> Typically, collectors use “All-Star” to refer to the figures repackaged with a blue stand while “Best Of” is used to describe the refresher cases which do<\/em> include reissues of figures with their original C&C parts. This year, Mattel has provided “Best Of” cases to Toys R Us and Target that contain reissues of Wave 8 figures with their Giganta parts. All the figures from Wave 8, except Gentlemen Ghost, have appeared in these assortments making Gentlemen Ghost more and more rare. Why Gentlemen Ghost can’t be reissued this way (as Vigilante and Cmdr Steel have been) is unknown.<\/font><\/p>\n

3) Vault asks:<\/em> Looking at the Map of Eternia, is the Fright Zone located
\nin the ruins of the Temple of Hordak?\n<\/p>\n

No, the Fright Zone is on Etheria. <\/strong><\/p>\n

4) Dayraven asks:<\/em> Are we going to see an accessory pack for the WWE line
\nany time soon?\n<\/p>\n

Yes, this is something we have talked about!<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) Mr. Rant asks:<\/em> Was Mattel happy enough with the sales on the Heroic Weapons Pak that we’ll be seeing an Evil Weapons Pak in the near future?\n<\/p>\n

Yes, we have a new pak planned for later in 2010. It will be called \u201cGreat Wars\u201d much as the first pack was called \u201cUltimate Battleground\u201d. <\/strong><\/p>\n
