Toy Fair 2010 – Interview with Mattel’s Scott Neitlich (Toy Guru), Part 2

Scott Neitlich, Mattel’s Associate Brand Manager for its collector-oriented lines, was kind enough to sit down with Hagop (my tag team partner from the Fwoosh) and me for a catch-up session following the Mattel Collectors Preview.

This is the second part of the interview – I wanted to title the article “Toy Guru Announces Jitsu” but then common sense prevailed. Part one of the interview is here.

H: Let’s go over what’s in store this year for Masters of the Universe.

TG: The line is composed of 12 monthly figures, 4 quarterly figures (although there might only be 3 this year) but ideally 4 standard 6” quarterly figures, and then 4 over-sized figures which could range from $30-$60 depending on how big they are. So Battlecat was the first, Tytus will be the second, and then Gy-Gor will be the third.

Toy Fair 2010 – Interview with Mattel’s Scott Neitlich (Toy Guru), Part 1

We were all a little tired from the sensory overload, so a big thanks to Scott for taking the time to sit down with us, and to Hagop for recording and transcribing the interview. What follows is the first part of our discussion.

H: In other comic lines, we always hear about how obscure characters are hard to do because the retailers don’t want them. How are you able to pull off so many obscure characters in DCUC? I’m thinking of Killer Moth, Gentleman Ghost, Forager-in an exclusive wave no less.

TG: With the refresher cases and “all stars” retailers are getting Batman or Superman or whoever, every time they open a box, even if they’re not “in” the wave. And I think it just helps when the toy is cool looking. I mean, someone may walk by a Gentleman Ghost and just think, “That’s cool, I want that!” I’ve got him displayed in my office getting captured by the Ghostbusters.

First Look – JLU Justice Guild of America – TheFwoosh.com

I know I have at least one reader who has been waiting for the Justice League Unlimited Justice Guild set (hi Emanuel!) – and I’m happy to tell him that even though it hasn’t yet been scheduled for release on MattyCollector.com, if the big sites are getting sets to review then it’ll most likely make it to an order page near you.

Anybody else out there want more JLU? Leave a comment! I won’t consider the line done until I have a JLU Jonah Hex in my hands.

Overall, this is a well done set with clean lines and strong plastic set to figures of characters that have been demanded by JLU fans for a long time. Right now, the future of JLU is kind of up in the air in terms of concrete facts. We know that this is the last Matty JLU set that is planned and no official word has been given as to the specifics of 2010 (though there seems to be test shots of guys like Weather Wizard and Livewire popping up on eBay from Honk Kong sellers). So, if you are fan of the line, show your support when this set is released soon. JLU fans have been down this road before, let’s keep this line going!
