AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 10/15

Here are the latest questions and answers from Mattel. Thanks to Mattel and Toy Guru!

World Wrestling Entertainment

1. Nice to see some info and pics of the upcoming WWE lines. Can you highlight the differences between the Basic and Elite Collections? Are the main differences in the amount of articulation? Are the scales compatible between both lines?

The WWE basic and Elite figures are approximately seven-inch figures are created in “Superstar scale,” assuring accuracy in body-type differential across the “Monday Night Raw,” “Friday Night SmackDown” and “ECW” rosters. Pay-Per-View themed basic figures will also be available throughout the year. The Elite Figures feature 26 points of articulation and authentic ring attire such as masks, armbands and costumes. For the first time ever, each figure in both lines come with a figure stand and name placard.

2. Is WWE strictly a retail line, or are there plans for WWE products for Mattycollector.com?

You’ll have to stay tuned!

DC Universe

3. After reviewing the pics of the 2-ups and SDCC production samples of Brimstone and Kilowog, will those C&Cs feature thigh cuts and swivels that allow them to point their toes in or out?

No, Kilowog and Brimstone will not have thigh cuts.

4. When will you announce the winner of the 2nd fan choice poll? And how does not winning the poll impact the chances for the other contenders? For example, Catman from the first poll continues to get a lot of fan support, and Captain Marvel Jr. and Toyman are both having strong showings in the current poll.

The winner, Raven, was announced in Toy Fare # 148, on sale now. And yes, just because a figure does not win the poll does not mean he or she won’t be out in time.

Masters of the Universe Classics

5. A few people couldn’t help noticing that King Randor’s armor bears a striking resemblance to Jitsu’s. Can you finally end my suffering and confirm Jitsu for 2010? 😀

We can’t confirm any 2010 figures beyond Moss Man at this time!

Here’s a round-up of the other Ask Matty sessions from around the web. (Links to be added as they come up.)
