It is a busy Matty day today (did you get everything that you wanted?), but they are burning the midnight oil to get your latest answers to you!
1. Will all of the DCUC 16 and GLC series one figures have the same articulation scheme that was shown on display at SDCC 2010? A lot of these figure had new articulation (double elbows and knees) and fans are really excited for new points of articulation.
Some figures will indeed have more articulation, but not every figure in the wave. We are not far enough along to announce anything officially. Once we have final samples we will let the fans know!
2. Can you give us an updated release calendar for some of the upcoming DC products?
DCUC 16 First quarter of 2011
GLC 1 First quarter of 2011
Green Lantern/Sinestro two-pack Late 2010
TRU Black Tux Joker Retailers have moved away from the single figure repaints so we are looking for a new home for these figures.TRU MOTCU/DC series 2 two-packs Late 2010
3. Since MOTUC Bow is really an example of a hybrid of styles (strong style guide queues with some Four Horsemen detail embellishments) can we expect that from other upcoming PoP characters in MOTUC? Is this how their design is being brought into the “Classics” style?
Likely, but we will need to wait and see when we get to the new POP figure. Since we leave a lot of the design work to the Horsemen, it is difficult to comment on unsculpted figures!
4. Can you tell us what the street date is for the Toy Fare issue where you will reveal the April 2011 MOTUC figure? What month does it actually go on sale?
It will be the 2011 preview issue that hits stands in mid-December this year.
5. Matty – did you see the custom that was made using the TRU Ghostbusters four pack where the customizer painted the movie figures with jumpsuits that match the multi-colored decos from the Real Ghostbusters? A lot of fans have take a shine to this, any chance of a real release with this happening?
We don’t have plans for a new release of the GB2 gray suits right now. If we do, we will certainly take fan requests into our designs!
