Ask Matty – October 1st Edition
We need your questions for the next round!
Submit your suggestions on the newly expanded ItsAllTrue.net Forums…
MOTUClassics.Com: This might be a bit morbid, but any chance at He-Ro’s gravestone as an accessory? It’d look great clipped on to the Grayskull bases.
Maybe, but we’d need to find the right figure to release that with. No plans right now.
MOTUClassics.Com: Any update on the loose ankles in the MOTUC line?
We are always working with engineering and our vendors to improve this!
DCClassics.Com: In 2009, it was rumored that Wildcat was to have another variant. It’s been over a year can you tell us what was planned?
This is just a rumor. There were only ever two versions – black and blue outfits.
MOTUClassics.Com: Will Grizzlor’s fur be more stable than Moss Man’s flock? We know Grizzlor isn’t a tub toy, but stuff happens.
Neither Moss Man nor Grizzlor are designed to be water toys, but Grizzlor will be durable.
DCClassics.Com: DC Characters that are traditionally a little bigger than the average superhero could make excellent use of the Public Enemies buck. Is that buck going to see reuse in the main line?
It is actually the same buck. The only new tooling was some hands and heads.

Darn, there goes my hopes for a fuschia polka-dot Wildcat. WHY MATTY… WHY!?
Carefull… you were short on Y’s earlier. 😉
Fuschia polka-dot could kinda be fun…
Wasn’t it Mattel who said Wildcat would have a second variant?
Yes. However, Toy Guru referred to a “Second variant”. In retrospect, he could have simply misspoke and meant to imply the one, single variant as a second figure.
I’d love to get He-Ro’s grave. I wish we had more accesories like that.
More accessories like that? Gravestones for all your favorite characters?
No, I just want more prop accessories.
This. Mattel doesn’t really do anything to make these adult collectibles except put the label on the box and charge $20. Alt heads, prop accessories, alt hands, etc should be par for the course.
Adam has a crotch, MF…don’t.
(neither does he have a plugged hole in his back….wait, what? DADT?)
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and send in the next round…
wow… they really just humped right up and shat on your face on that last question, didn’t they?
Par for the course isn’t? How else would we get to have the fun little comics at the end…
Question for next time:
Dear whoever is answering these questions now,
You Suck.
Please return Scott Neitlich.
Thank you.
Regarding the long-desired question finally delivered regarding the PE bucks (THANKS NOISY!)…uh, what?
That can’t be right. I’m of a mind to pull out my PE Batman and compare him to regular Batman piece-by-piece…
One more thing Noisy…would you mind e-mailing me about that Marvel Legends Warbird?
Sorry, it went on the list, but the list was long. 🙂
When I put up the picture with Cap, I was aware that there are other slightly different bucks, but I’m 99% sure that the PE buck is in-fact new. The waist piece is definitely new since it features the Mattel Product Number for the PE wave, and I assume the rest of it is new with it.
Was my comment deleted?
Found it in the spam filter. Not sure why it was there (the span filter is mysterious like that), but it’s back now!
Hey NoisyDVL5,
Not really anything to do with Ask Matty, but seems as quick a way as any to ask– when will the Green Lantern 5-pack finally get their own pics on the 2010 checklist? We’re so close to having that year rounded out…
Soon!
Combination of wedding planning and having to get setup to take those shots. I should have DCUC15 sometime this week and I’ll do all their yellow background pics at once.
