AFP Hasbro Marvel Q&A Roundup – 12/17/9

After missing a month, we’re back with the latest Marvel Q&A from the team at Hasbro. Thanks guys!

1. What can we Marvel Legends collectors do to encourage Hasbro to create some sort of online monthly or perhaps even quarterly figure release program similar to the one Mattel is successfully using over on their website? I know that if it can work with a property like Masters Of The Universe it can definitely work with Marvel Legends. As someone who like many has collected 6-inch figures for years I really wish there was a program like this that would get us more 6-inch Marvel figures.

We are always looking at ways and options to get the Legends figures into the hands of fans. Plans are being made and we will announce them soon.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 12/16/9

It looks as though the answers to our questions for this round may have been lost in the cloud, so if my colleagues will indulge me, I’ll pick five of the best questions and answers from around the internet toy community.

The first answer may not have been that informative, but it had Jitsu. 😀

1. Figures.com – The Four Horsemen did a fantastic job with the Jitsu 200X staction. Is this character on tap for the near future or do fans have a long wait ahead of them?

NECA Masters of the Universe Jitsu Staction

We can’t comment on unannounced figures, sorry! Jitsu is a favorite around here too.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 12/1/9

We missed a Q&A round but are back with more Matty Questions and Answers – well, at least the answers they were able to give. A couple this round probed a little too deeply.

1. Nice pictures of Battle Armor He-Man – he was one of my faves as a kid. Will he be the first to have a personalized white mailer box? When will I get to see one of those mailer boxes with Jitsu printed on it? 😀

Yes, Battle Armor He-Man will be the first with his name on the white box. Jitsu will also have his name on the box, but we have yet to announce when he will be available. (nice try!)

AFP Hasbro G.I. JOE Q&A for 11/17/9

The Hasbro JOE team is back with another round of Q&A. Thanks to Ray and Indy from the Fwoosh for these questions.

1. How did the Attack on Cobra Island and Defense of Cobra Island 7-packs do? Were they successful enough to make more beyond the upcoming Resolute sets? Can you tease all of us Resolute fans with some possible characters that will be showing up in those 7-packs?

The 7 packs did very well and we are excited to be releasing the new Resolute packs in fall 2010, unfortunately we will have to keep you waiting a little longer as they are still being finalized. More information on these packs will be released as soon as possible.

2. What kinds of pairings will be in the “Then and Now” sets?

You will see classic of ring figures with what’s been dubbed as modern era figures.

3. How does movie continuity affect the toy line? For example, since Cover Girl is dead in the movie, would that take her off the table for a Pursuit of Cobra figure? What about the Baroness being “good”?

We try to keep story lines as consistent as possible to avoid confusion but we also try to stay true to fans and the GI Joe lore. It’s all a matter of best judgment and each character is looked at on a case by case basis.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 11/2/9

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

Masters of the Universe Classics

1. Zodak (pics and review) was the first “bonus” figure for the Masters of the Universe Classics line. Based on how he sold, what changes are you considering for bonus figures, if any? Do you have any update on combining bonus orders with Club Eternia subs so subscribers aren’t penalized with double shipping?

If the first few bonus figure do well, we will continue them into 2010. If they do not, figures that were bonus figures will just become standard monthly figures. You won’t be able to combine shipping on subscriptions and standard purchases, but once we gauge how bonus figures do, we will be able to include them in the 2011 subscription.
