Ask Matty – 10/26/12

Well, we are a few days early for the cycle, not that we are complaining. These questions were submitted early in the month but since there was no session for the 15th, they have arrived today. Take it away!

Toy Guru – you have stated that the 2012 mini comics are not indicative of being a “preview” of what characters we should expect as immediately upcoming. However, both King Miro and Eldor featured ver prominently in those books. Since you are changing the roadmap starting in 2014, will these two important characters still be a part of the plan? They are not vintage figures but I would hate for them to be lost in the new rush to focus on that group. Thanks.

We’d love to get to both of these characters but no plans to announce right now.

When will you announce the item that will be shipping to 2012 subscribers (for the Frosta ordeal)?

Ideally in the next few months. We are still costing out options.

I know I am getting ahead of myself here, but IF Castle Grayskull is successful, are you keeping the possibility open for trying for future play sets like Snake Mountain as well? I know, getting way ahead here, but maybe keeping the possibility open will help push the sales for Grayskull.

Anything is possible. We need to see how the Castle presale does first before looking into anything else.

Can you give us a status update for Miss Elizabeth and her availablity on Matty Collector? Also, any chance of seeing future Flash Back figures being offered as well?

Yes, a small quantity of Miss Elizabeth figures will be available on MattyCollector.com around January.  And also yes, more Flashback figures will be available on MattyCollector, especially if Miss Elizabeth sells well!
