April 25th, 2011 Comments Off Posted in DC Animated, Other Toy Lines

Hurrijak had the heads up on the upcoming Batman Brave and the Bold McDonalds toys. In August, McDonalds released a set of 8 Batman Brave and the Bold toys, but this time they’re going all out with the following list from Hurrijak:

 

1)Batman, Penguin, Batmobile
2)Firestorm, Two Face, Solomon Grundy
3)Aquaman, Batman Robot, Black Manta
4)Batman, Riddler, Plastic Man(as a car)
5)Joker, Batmite, Joker Mobile
6)Batman, Flash(YES!!!), Sportsmaster
7)Batman, Robin, Gorilla Grodd
8)Gentleman Ghost, Spectre, Haunted Coach

Yeah.  That, my friends, is an assortment.  Think of the team-ups!  Grodd and the Gentleman Ghost.  Robin, Flash and Aquaman.  Batmite and the Riddler versus the Spectre!

Not much meat on the bones of these answers unfortunately, but it’s worth noting that a Batman the Brave and the Bold set featuring Batman and Superman double teaming a bad guy has shown up at Walmart so there’s at least a little life in the line.

1) There’ve been reports of DC Universe Action League figures getting pretty visible scuffing from minor play and contact. Is Mattel looking into ways to minimize “battle damage”?

We are always working on quality control and ways to improve figures and products.

2) Thanks to the Batman Brave and the Bold line, DC Universe Action League has inherited some bat-related vehicles but since this line is a great tour of the DC Universe how likely are vehicles and playsets for this line?

At this point we don’t have plans to release any of the B&TB vehicles in the Action League DCU line, but you never know what the future will bring!

3) Batman Brave and the Bold Total Armor figures are hitting stores now, so can fans and collectors expect any new characters?

You’ll just need to wait for NYTF to find out!

4) Now that the Infinite Heroes line is gone, can you tell us what figures were planned for Figure 41, Figure 44, and Figure 50? Even if we’ll never see them, it’d be nice to learn what we missed!

We don’t have this list handy, but we’ll see if we can dig it up with our licensor partner.

5) With Toy Fare coming up, you’re probably going to keep your cards close to your chest, but is it safe to say that if a character is on the packaging for DC Universe Action League (Kilowog, Guardian, Martian Manhunter) they’ve got a better than average chance of making it into the line?

Not always. There are many times when figures wind up on packaging and don’t always make it out there. Many times sales logistics and orders will dictate production and not every figure we work on always makes it to shelf.

Brave and the Bold Canceled, New Batman on the Way?

July 27th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Action League, Brave and the Bold Action League, DC Animated

SDCC giveth, and SDCC taketh away.  In the wake of oodles of fresh news about upcoming cartoons, comics and toys, one piece of surprisingly over-looked (at least amongst the “big” sites) is news that, as Comics Continuum reports, Batman: Brave and the Bold is winding down with production of the last 13 episodes.

Obviously this is sad news because the show has had lots of great fun, and even some great toy lines (like the Batman Brave and the Bold Action League figures.  Visit the link to Comics Continuum above for more information, and some fun video as “Batman” explains showbiz to “Aquaman”.  On the plus side?  “Following Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Tucker will be working on a new Batman series…”, and Diedrich Bader confirms that Wonder Woman and Superman will make appearances. The fate of the toyline is obviously in doubt, but what a fun run, and who knows what we could get next time?
