Boy Wonder recently answered some questions over at Action Figure Insider about the JLU and DCSH lines.. here's some Highloghts:
Quote:
Do you have any news and or pictures of the Superboy and Legion of Superheroes toy line? Will it be on scale with JLU?
It's not my line. However, as for scale, I think it will be different than JLU. Quote:
Should we pursue this avenue of attack to try and compel the folks that actually buy your products to find out what it is we want?
Everything helps, but they are seeing it firsthand in their sales numbers this fall. The best way to keep things going is to support the lines.
Quote:
My question is this: What are the chances of seeing any future JLU characters, such as Warhawk, Batman Beyond, Aquagirl, the Dee Dees, Chuck-O, etc.....?
Probably not for 2007, but we are discussing 2008, and I think we will be looking to go more obscure if 2008 gets the green light.
Quote:
Is there any possible chance of new BTAS figures making it to Big Lots? You made Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, Two Face, Robin, Batman, Nightwing and Batgirl but is there ever a possiblity of Riddler, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Ivy, Croc or Harley Quinn being released in Big Lots?
My dad worked for Big Lots, so I always try to do a little extra for them. We will be re-releasing the 6" Comic Dlx figures there next year, along with the JLU motos and JLU figures from 2004.
Quote:
I would love to see Clayface and a JLU Joker added to the line, but I do think there needs to be more variety in villains added to the line.
I saw the JLU Joker model as well, and he looks good.
Quote:
Boy Wonder, are there any plans to make an Alfred or Commissioner Gordon figure for The Batman line?
Men in suits don't sell to kids. Since Animated is so kid targeted, these figures are unlikely. The 6" line would be a better place to find them down the road.

I beseech you guys to keep fighting for more DC heroes to pop up in the line over the coming years
We continue to try, and I also hope we will see that day. I know a lot of you want to contact DC on our behalf, and I am flattered that you like our figures. Our team works very hard making figures that we can be proud of.
Quote:
So, do we have any idea when the blue costume variant of Supergirl with the new hair sculpt (as opposed to the re-painted standard Supergirl in wave 4) will be released and/or how it will be released (eg. in a two pack with Superman)?
She may be at Mass retail by mid November (in very limited quantities). However, you will be able to find her in the new packaging exclusively at WMT in January.
Quote:
Um, why aren't we getting Catwoman? If this is some attempt by Mattel to preach the "girls don't sell" mantra, then I won't be collecting this line anymore.
Just because Catwoman is not coming in 2006, doesn't mean she will not make it in 2007.
Quote:
We know that there are 2 Batgirls coming - the classic (blue/grey) and the modern (black). Mattel first stated that one would be the regular release in the next Batman wave and the alternate would be the chase figure for that wave. Since then, we have seen the classic show up in the Target 2-pack, but we still don't know what's going to happen with the individual release. It would make sense for that to go to the modern Batgirl, but that has not been confirmed.
The second one should be in stores just after Easter.
Quote:
Thanks guys, well I won't freak out about not having a target here and trying to find the 2 pack!!
I am working to get target.com to sell this item as well. Check for it in a month.
Quote:
Boy Wonder, any chance you can let us know the case ratios for the 2packs? I've heard reports of 4 Bizarros, 1 Clark, and 1 Batgirl. But I've been to stores with 3 Clarks and 3 Bizarros on the shelf. And I'm sure all of us have seen sets of all Bizarros. And if anyone else knows, feel free to chime in!
Not exactly. The reason you are seeing so many SM/Bizzaros is because we launched with him. However, the next mix contains BM/BG and SM/CK.
Quote:
will the Barbara Gordon Batgirl be released as a single?
No plans to do that for 2007.
There are a lot of questions and requests for DCU. I am sorry to say that there are not any plans to venture beyond the Batman and Superman worlds for the 6" line in 2007.
