Review: The Captains

Ask Mattel Q&A for October 1, 2011 – DCUC, Ghostbusters and More!
Another couple weeks, another edition of the Ask Matty Q&A!
In the DCUC subscription, does the tooling budget allow for slightly larger accessories than traditionally available? For instance, could Oracle with a wheelchair be a regular figure, assuming of course that her chair is nowhere near as large as Metron’s?
We love the DC Universe subscription program because it is the perfect place for us to release larger form factors and accessories. Metron and his Mobius Chair is just one example of the amazing design creations you’ll see in the DC Universe Club Infinite Earths program. And in case you haven’t heard, the 2012 subscription has been re-opened to allow fans one last chance to sign up. If you haven’t already secured your subscription for 2012, you have until October 3 to do so on Mattycollector.com.
Considering the failure to meet the DC Universe subscription threshold, aren’t you concerned that charging the so-called “cherry pickers” a premium will only serve to continue alienating potential customers? In other words, if scalpers and online retaile
Our goal was to make awesome figures available via the Mattycollector.com subscription program.
We hope that we’ve made that possible with options for both collectors that want to secure all of the figures as well as fans who want to pick and choose.
Any plans for Ghostbusters 3.75?
Nothing at this time but you never know what the future will bring!
Any plans for MOTU 3.75?
Not at this time. We putting all of our limited resources into the 6″ Classics line right now.
Any updates on what the new scale talked about at SDCC will be for the WWE line?
All we can say is this: it is planned for Fall 2012 and it will make you feel like a kid again.
