Hordak is SOLD OUT.  The Ultraman/Alex Luthor is SOLD OUT.  So what does Matty have to say about the other figures and lines?  Check out the answers inside.

 

 

 


Kastor:  In wave 8 Hawkgirl was the All Star figure, and came with a figure stand, while the parademons were given a C&C piece.  Right now I have 4 extra Giganta arms and I am not alone in the collecting world, and is such a waste of plastic for so many of us. Why were army building figures given the arms instead of a base? Will you consider making future army builders to get a stand instead of a C&C piece.  

 

Matty:  We will look into this idea, but right now the strategy is to include the base with the most recognizable character in each wave. 

 

Kastor:  Has the JLU 3 pack sale helped the line at all?  Also why are we seeing wave after wave of singles, even with all the Kilowogs and Star Girls clogging the pegs, while there is such a hold up on the 3 packs?

 

Matty:  We are working with Target to get fresh figures out as soon as possible.

 

Kastor:  What is the plan for timing for the Walmart wave of DCUC and the wave following wave 9? 

 

Matty:  The Wal-Mart wave will be out in the fall of 2009.

 

Kastor:  Will the recent decrease in size of the Walmart toy departments impact the DCUC exclusives this year?

 

Matty:  All 2009 Wal-Mart exclusives are going forward, with more to be announced at SDCC.

 

Kastor:  Many online retailers have canceled the pre-orders for Movie Master upcoming waves.  Are they canceled?

 

Matty:  We will have news on the Movie Masters Dark Knight figures at SDCC.
