Ask Matty – 4/15/10

It’s the 15th so time for your mid-month Matty fix!

1. According to She-Ra’s bio, a group of he allies travel to Eternia in pursuit of Hordak after he abandons Etheria. Does this mean that only a select few PoP characters will make it into the MOTUC line or is this just a part of the history and all the PoP characters will have their time in figure form?

Whether or not a particular POP character follows She-Ra to Eternia has no effect on whether they will be a figure in MOTUC. A POP character’s bio could just as well tell the story of what they did on Etheria before She-Ra left. After all, the bios have already established that there was a long war between the Great Rebellion and the Horde on Etheria that involved many POP characters!

2. Do you have a date for when DCUC 13 will be available on Matty Collector?

Not yet since right now that is up in the air. The response to Wave 11 and Wave 12 on Mattycollector.com was very minimal and we are reviewing whether or not the box sets will continue. We can only sell items on Mattycollector.com if there is enough fan support.

3. Do you think a truly giant character like the Anti-Monitor would be acceptable as a regular C&C in the DCUC line or do you think there is a possible better way to release him (not many people got the giant DCIH version)?

We could certainly do the Anti-Monitor in the DCUC line, but due to package size the limit would be about 12-inches.

4. Quite awhile ago you said that some civilian characters were in the works for DCUC. What is the status on that? Sometime this year? Jim Gordon is the most current obvious hole in the Bat-Family display.

We do have plans to get to civilian characters and Gordon is at the top of our wish list. It is just a matter of finding the right time.

5. Will you be announcing any new properties at SDCC this year?

We do have some big announcements to make, but what they are is still under wraps!
