It is a busy Mattel day today, did everyone get their Webstor ordered from www.mattycollector.com? Well, in between sending out new toys to the masses, Matty and his pal Toy Guru are back for their mid-month round of answers. Check them out!
1. Is the MOTUC Adora figure setting precedence for the direction of the design for future Princess of Power characters? Will they fall in line stylistically with the style guide rather than the original dolls?
Yes and no. The female body is pretty much set between Adora and Teela. The exact look of each character is handled on a figure by figure basis.
2. DC Comics is having a recognized 75th anniversary in 2010 – are there any plans to support that with some dedicated toys?
Oh boy, do we ever!
3. DCUC series 9 turned out really great, thanks for really delivering on this series. One thing though- it seems like the range of movement in the neck joint on all of the figures has gotten extremely limited, can you have your designers and engineers look at refining this for future series so that there can be a better range of movement (up and down especially)?
We’ll pass this comment onto design! Thanks.
4. In MOTUC, when Mattel and the Horsemen approach the character of Grizzlor, how do you plan on executing him? Will he be furry like the original toy or will you go with the sculpted fur route?
We haven’t crossed that road yet, but Toy Guru is fighting for fur.
5. When will we get to see the “phasing” Deadman variant from DCUC series 11? Do you have a picture now that you could share?
Hopefully soon!
*Thanks again as always, fellas!
