Sorry we are a little late getting this published, between photo shoots, Turtles and getting geared up for Toy Fair, it is pretty busy around here. In good form though, Matty has sent the latest round of answers back for this palindrome date’s edition of Q&A. Enjoy!
1. Voltron’s Lance still has the lighter brown hair of the prototype. While he does pass in that he does have dark brown in the series, Keith and Sven actually have black hair in the cartoon. CAN we PLEASE see this important change in hair color from brown to black in these two pilots since there is still time?
Keith is confirmed to have black hair. We are working on seeing if we can make a change to Sven.
2. A keen observer dissected Bubble Power She-Ra and diagnosed the bad engineering of the v2.0 pelvis creating the ugly “diaper-crotch” look seen on Tallstar and Jewelstar. Please see the attached pics. A byproduct of this effect is that the new body was supposed to make the women shorter, when it in fact keeps them tall and misshapen as seen on Sorceress and Starla. PLEASE, can this be addressed and corrected immediately and successfully before the next female figure is revealed?
We will certainly pass this comment along to the design team as we are always trying to improve figures whenever possible!
3. In MOTUC, the molded unpainted faces just aren’t as nice as the painted faces in MOTUC. Generally, Adora, Teela, Sorceress, Evil-Lyn, Tallstar, and Jewelstar comes through production looking a lot more polished than the waxy unpainted faces of Starla, Queen Marlena, She-Ra, Catra, and especially Battleground Teela. Maybe it’s because the Horsemen completely paint their prototypes, but can Mattel please look into painting skin tone on ALL faces, regardless of the color plastic used for the head?
We don’t have an overall rule for how this is handled. It is on a figure by figure bases as determined by the Horsemen and design. But we will pass this suggestion along!
4. I know that Toy Fair is right around the corner, but could we possibly get a preview of what the new DC Club IE figure packaging looks like?
You will see this at NYTF!
