Ask Mattel > Answers for December 14, 2011

December 14, 2011 | Poe

Gargamel asks: Will we see a Movie Masters line for the Tim Burton Batman films in the near future?

There are no plans for now, but it’s a good idea that we’ll consider.

Rich asks: Wow, that Legion 12-pack sold really well! And quickly! I know that you’ve barely planned 2012, and 2013 is a long way off your radar, but if you’re considering another 12-pack, would you help fill out all of our DCUC teams with a “Women of the DC Universe” 12-pack? In one fell swoop, you could give us Elasti-Girl (Doom Patrol); Platinum (Metal Men); Ice and Fire (JLI); Hawkgirl II (Kendra) (JLA/Modern JSA); Vixen (JLA); Huntress (JLA/Birds Of Prey); Phantom Lady (JSA/Freedom Fighters); Mera (JLA/Aquaman); Jade (Infinity Inc/JLA); Batwoman (Batman Inc) & Dr Light II (JLI), for example. Would you consider diversifying many teams at once with this approach? DC’s line of busts have already featured 7 of these characters, so there’s more than enough appeal for Kendra/Mera/Phantom Lady/Vixen/Batwoman/Huntress/Jade in your audience! Thanks!

Spy Monkey Creations 2012 Teaser Images

December 12, 2011 | Poe

In case you haven’t been following Spy Monkey Creations’ latest news, many of your favorite exclusive accessories will be returning in 2012–this time factory-produced and injection-molded, with interchangeable parts that will be completely usable with the Glyos Fit/Function system by Onell Design!

One weapon is a revamp–the Blade of the Demon King, while another is a cross between the Sword of Ages and the Empyrean Blade. But check out the all-new weapon! I wonder who would look good with that…

Here’s some more info from SMC:

In this first drop we are offering 5 different weapons in 5 different colorways. We will also be offering a limited number of each colorway in full sets.
