The Rumor Buster

We’d like to thank everyone who’s participated in helping us gather questions for Ask Matty this month, it’s been great!

Alright, now that we have that out of the way, how about we get to our first set of answers from Mattel?

1. Is there another wave of Secret Saturdays 6″ figures on the way? If so, can you say who’s in it?
At this time, there are no new plans for Secret Saturday toys. Everything for the line is now at retail.

2. Are there any plans to extend the Batman Brave & the Bold style (mini or 5″) out to other characters that haven’t appeared on the show?
No, the Brave and the Bold line is a more kid-oriented line compared to a collector line like JLU, which is more of a luxury. The B&B figures will remain show specific for now.

3. Are there any plans to fix the DCIH new molds’ knees? The new knees are prone to break easily, but the old knees were great. Are there any plans to go back to something similar to the old knees?
Yes, we are constantly working to improve not only the joints, but paint ops and accessories as well.

4. Will posters be added to the Batman Brave & the Bold Action League 2-packs to encourage consumers to buy the sets & inform us about upcoming characters?
There was a great poster for the minis available at SDCC, which shows off the entire line. It is something we will consider.

5. Will there be playsets for Batman Brave & the Bold Action League, such as the Batcave or Justice League headquarters?
Nothing planned at the moment, but the future is wide open as the show remains popular with kids and collectors.
