Hey Mattel fans – it’s time for the newest Q&A session of Ask Matty! Thanks to Toy Guru and the gang at Mattel, and happy Monday!
1) Superman/Batman: Apocalypse was recently released, and featured Ed Asner reprising his role as Granny Goodness. What’s it going to take to get a Granny Goodness figure in DC Universe Classics?
Increased fan demand. When the “Crisis on Two Earths” DVD came out there was skyrocketing demand for the Crime Syndicate but that died down soon after. We’ll have to see how Granny’s appearance in this DVD plays out with fans in the long run.
Not being a regular reader at WrestlingFigs.com, I didn’t know that they held a special event with Mattel’s WWE team this past weekend in New York City. But I did find some pictures of upcoming figures at the Mattel WWE and fan Jason Linnick’s Facebook pages. I’m particularly psyched to see the Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior, and Legends Series 5 – Akeem the African Dream, Macho Man Randy Savage, the Model Rick Martel, and Bam Bam Bigelow.
This weekend the Mattel WWE team went to NYC for Ringside Fest, the WWE collecting convention sponsored by Ringside Collectibles. We had a great time showing off new figures, talking face-to-face with collectors, and answering questions during the fan Q&A. We posted a few pictures below, but stay tuned to WrestlingFigs.com for continuing coverage this week.
