Ask Matty for May 1, 2010
Matty from Mattycollector.com takes the time to
answer questions from collectors.
Thank you Matty!
1) We have
seen a metallic green deco on the DCUC Hal Jordan
Green Lantern figure. Will that figure be part of the
Green Lantern 5-pack or a running change in the
ALL-STAR lineup?
This
is an upcoming TRU All-Star re-deco figure! We kind
of snuck that reveal in to see who noticed!
2) Someone
suggested that the DCUC Starro mask 4-pack that will
be given away FREE at SDCC with the purchase of the
DCIH boxed set, be also SOLD on the
Mattycollector.com site after SDCC. Some collectors
would like to buy multiples to use on their DCUC
figures. Is this possible?
Much
like Gleek, the Starro Spores will only be available
with purchase of the Starro 75th pack at SDCC. The
version of the 75th box set on MattyCollector.com
will not include the 6” scale Spores.
3) Will there be a reserve supply
of SDCC DCUC Plasticman and DCIH Starro Box Sets put
aside for the Mattycollector.com site, or if they
sell out at SDCC will they no longer be
available?
Yes,
all of the SDCC items have separate inventory for the
show as well as Mattycollector.com. If we have stock
left over from the SDCC inventory it will be sold
online as well. Although based on previous years we
doubt any of the items that are exclusive to the show
such as Orko or the Starro Spores will remain after
the show so please don’t count on this
option.
4) Aquaman fans were happy to see
him in the DCIH Starro Box Set. When will the DCIH
Aquaman figure be released on a single card at
retail?
We
don’t have a retail version of Aquaman in
Infinite Heroes to announce quite yet. Right now, the
Starro pack version is the only one on the horizon.
5)
What is the DCIH STARRO figure made from? It kind of
looks like foam rubber. Are there wires in the arms
that will hold the shape if you bend them? Is it safe
to toss at my nephew's head when we play "STARRO
ATTACKS!"?
It
is made of rubber with bendy metal wires running
through it; similar to Clayface’s arms but with
a more heavy-duty material.
