Ask Matty – 3/1/10

It’s the first of the month! Matty and Toy Guru are back to give you some action figure satisfaction with answers to your burning questions!

1. Okay, I have to ask how the heck do pronounce “Kreann’ot n’Horosh”?

Ka-reen Oat Na Horro-shhh

2. Why the change to the DCUC 13 modern Cheetah, what was the motivation for the black costume being added?

This was a fun way of making Cheetah really pop on shelf. We do have plans for the original deco as well. She is a popular character who we want to do more then once!

3. What is the hand print symbol on the back of Gy-Gor’s cape? Does this represent a new Preternian faction?

It is a symbol of his tribe and you will find out more in his bio later this year!

4. With only one real new Ghostbusters figure being shown at Toy Fair (Lab Coat Ray), a lot of fans are starting to get worried that the line doesn’t quite have the steam of the other collector lines. How is the line doing? Getting the four ‘busters in their normal un-slimed gear and some of the more famous characters and ghosts is VERY important to collectors, we hope there is a strong commitment to getting these done.

Absolutely! The only reason we only had one new figure to show (although we did have the final Slimed Peter with untucked pants, which had not been shown before, as well as the new pack in Slimer!) is that we are working to meet our aggressive release schedule. You will see a total of six 6” figures by the end of the year. We have a little catching up to do.

5. Wanna give us an idea of how long the New Gods will be on hiatus in DCUC? There is still a LOT of work to do!

They will be back in short order! We are still huge fans of them, and just want to make sure to hit other sections of the DC Universe as well. Everyone deserves their due time in plastic.
