Ask Matty for December 1, 2009
Matty from Mattycollector.com takes the time to
answer questions from collectors.
1. Will the future DC Infinite Heroes females figures
get new arm and hip articulation? Yes or No?
Yes, we plan on
adding new articulation to all of our IH
figures!
2. I like the added articulation on the 3.75"
Superman / Batman: Public Enemies figures. However,
one of my Superman figures leg snapped at the knee
when I tried to bend it. The knee joint looked like
it was fused solid and broke instead of moving
freely. I've read of similar reports online. I want
my figures to be able to sit down. Can this problem
please be fixed soon?
We’ll pass
this along to our safety team. If you have exact
images of any damaged figure that you can post on our
Facebook page, that is the best way for us to correct
any errors. We’ll do all we can so this does
not happen.
3. Mattel has allowed Toy Fare to conduct fan polls
to determine future figures in the DCUC toyline. Can
a similar poll also be done for DCIH and JLU? Mattel
can suggest several characters for singles or suggest
multi-pack combinations and let the fans decide
online.
This is something
we are looking into for 2010! Stay
tuned.
4. Now that the new DC Infinite Heroes figures that
were shown at NYCC and SDCC are FINALLY on their way
to stores, how long before the next wave of new
figures and the new theme are announced? Before the
end of 2009 or will we have to wait until Toyfair
2010?
We will most
likely hold off on announcing more figures until NY
Toy Fair in February at our collector night. Although
we might sneak a surprise or two in there before
hand!
5. The new 3.75" Public Enemies figures used a new
body style that has less muscle definition on the
torso, arms and legs. They look less like SUPER
HEROES and more like average athletes. I'm sure that
Mattel can use these bodies for Avatar figures and
future 3.75" wrestlers. Can you please put some
muscles back on the Super Heroes or go back to the
older body style?
We’ll pass
this suggestion on to the design team!
