1) Rant asks:<\/em> Pre-orders for DCUC16 indicate that the number of figures per wave has dropped from seven to six. Will this be the new norm? And will DCUC16 include a figure with a stand or will all six figures have a C&C piece?<\/p>\n

We are not yet ready to comment on anything beyond Wave 15. We\u2019ll have Wave 16 to discuss at SDCC!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>2) Vault asks:<\/em> Are smaller playsets that could be made out of a few large pieces with few moving parts like the Battle Station or the Slime Pit possible for the MOTU Classics line?<\/p>\n

Anything is possible, but we don\u2019t have plans for full playsets right now (even if made up of smaller individually sold parts). We are looking into some set pieces, but nothing is locked in quite yet. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
Just a little photoshop we
whipped up for this Q&A…<\/em><\/caption>\n

3) Esbat asks:<\/em> Many Infinite Heroes collectors could use the C&Cs in their collections, but it’s cost prohibitive unless you buy DCUCs. Has Mattel ever thought about releasing older C&Cs complete and packed with a new DCIH similar to Hasbro’s Gigantic Battles line?<\/p>\n

We have looked into this and it\u2019s possible down the road that we may re-release older C&C figures. For right now they will remain an incentive for those who buy all the figures in a wave. <\/strong><\/p>\n

4) Dayraven asks:<\/em> Is there any way to improve the range of movement for the WWE Elite figure hips? Currently, they can’t be pulled backward and don’t do the splits well leaving the figures unable to simulate many classic wrestling moves like the Undertaker’s “Big Boot” Kick or Rey Mysterio’s “West Coast Pop”.<\/p>\n

The WWE FlexForce action figures allow you to simulate the classic moves of your favorite Superstars. We are always looking at ways to improve articulation and we\u2019ll pass this comment on to the WWE team!<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) Mr. Rant asks:<\/em> What goes into the decisionmaking process for the TRU exclusive repaints? The Batman is comic accurate, the Flash isn’t, and the Hal is somewhere in between with the metallic colors. Is there a method to the madness?<\/p>\n

The TRU re-decos are all about offering an A-list hero or villain in a new color scheme that will appeal to collectors and kids and really pop on-shelf. Incidentally, Flash was inspired by the Alex Ross paintings, which show a gold deco on his highlights. Green Lantern was all about finding a way to make GL\u2019s modern outfit really pop on-shelf. We\u2019ll have the fourth figure to reveal at SDCC! <\/strong><\/p>\n
