Mattel 3rd Q&A Session: The Answers
Posted by Curto on September 18, 2007 at 12:32 PM CST:
As part of Mattel's bi-weekly Q&A session, Cool Toy Review passed on 3 of your burning questions and now we've got the answers for you.
Cool Toy Review: With the license to all of DC's library of characters now available to Mattel, does this also include past movies? It would be great to get highly detailed figures from all the Batman films (even Batman And Robin) so I could set up a "film evolution of Batman" type display. Plus just getting Keaton Batman and Nicholson Joker figures that actually look good would just be too friggin' cool.
Mattel: We do have access to some past media (movies, TV shows) but like with any live action version of a character, we would have to work with the individual actors to also gain likeness rights (like what we did with Marlon Brandow?s estate for the Jor El figure we did in our 06 Superman Returns line). We know there is fan demand for these figures and we are discussing the right way to go about it.
Cool Toy Review: At Comic-Con, there was a great Justice League Unlimited poster available at the booth. Will this be available any other way for fans who weren't able to attend?
Mattel: Sorry, we sold out at the shows! (these were also available at Wizard World). It was meant to be a nice bonus for fans who came to the show and to let fans know we are still working on JLU despite not having new figures to show off at the time.
Cool Toy Review: I hope Mattel could make a BAF of Darkseid and Mongul. I mean I love the versions already released but seeing BAF Grodd and Metapmorpho, I don't think it looks good if they're bigger than the two supposed to be meanest villains of DC.
Mattel: We are talking about both of these figures (and Doomsday) as possible future BAF candidates. Nothing to announce right now, but they are candidates for future waves.
If you have questions for the team, please post them in our forums, and we'll pass them on for you. |
