And here…we…go.
I’m just going to go ahead and add that “-ocalypse” suffix to save a later update.
Anyway, consider this your place to discuss today’s inevitable frustration. For the record, I’m not ordering anything, though I am going to try to help a friend get a Battle Cat. Fingers crossed on that one.
Apologies for the late notice! Questions due by tonight at midnight.
Poe’s note: Apologies for the really weak Q&A this time, folks. I asked a number of WWE questions and apparently there was no one available to answer them.
1.) MldMnrdReporter asks: Are any *new* steps being taken to make sure Quality Control on MOTUC improves in the future? We know it wasn’t a factory error regarding Roboto (his shoulders were clearly tooled incorrectly, with the “L” and the “R” on the wrong pegs). $20 a figure is quite a bit of money to spend each month and it’d be nice to make sure we don’t get a flawed product.
We are always doing what we can to improve quality control. While fans only see the “mistakes” that slip through, many don’t realize the hundreds of things we do catch that are fixed before market. We totally understand the frustration with Roboto. Honestly, this one slipped through. Hey, even fan sites in their reviews didn’t notice the shoulder’s being reversed. In the end, it really only changes the pattern of the tech on his shoulders, the figure is still fully functional. We will look at correcting this one day, but nothing is planned right now. Quality Control is, and remains, of upmost importance to us. Even so, sometimes things do slip through.
2.) Snarf! Snarf! asks: Is it possible to get some official info regarding the power levels and extent of the abilities of MOTU characters (Including PoP, NA, etc.) somewhere down the line. Since the bios are focused on the story we can’t get that info. Things like: “Can Beastman control sea creatures, or is that Mer-Man’s job? Where does Mekaneck keep that huge amount of neck and other organs within his body? How strong is He-Man compared to King Grayskull?” (more…)
Questions are due by 11:59pm on Thursday, November 11. This is for the December 1 round.
On a side note, December 1 will be PGPoA’s three-year anniversary!
1.) You recently announced that the Winston w/ Slime Blower was delayed. Is there any chance the delay is because you’re adding the “football pads” part of his outfit?
He is delayed to make him more accurate to the film. He will have the full vest and pads when released. (more…)
Questions are due by 11:59pm Thursday, October 28.
1.) FakeEyes 22 asks: Any idea if/when we’ll see a new DCUC All-Star Assortment and are there plans to include Hawkgirl? She’s ideal as the first release was a tough find and she was heavily featured in the JLA/JLU series.
All-Star figures will continue to ship all year, with at least one All-Star in each case pack. No plans right now for Hawkgirl as a single, but she will be back in a Wal-Mart two-pack later this year! (more…)
This is for the November 1 round. Questions are due by 11:59pm October 13.
1.) 3B asks: The larger knee pads on some WWE figures (i.e. Triple H, Batista, and all wrestlers with the kick-pads, etc.) really restrict the leg articulation, is it possible to mold these in a softer, more flexible plastic?
This is something we have been looking into and will pass this comment onto our design team! (more…)
Questions due by 9/28 at 11:59pm.
