    All the ask Matty stuff the various toy blogs and sites do are pretty much useless. It's rare to gleam any actual information from any of them. Have no idea why they even do them anymore. Mattel has stated the only place they will reveal any actual news or info is on the official Mattel sites.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        That's the thing with Matty. It's a tough game sometimes, but on occasion you'll get some good information. In fact a lot of scoops have been revealed in this Q&As through the years, but the bulk is little nuggets of info. I have some more questions this next time about Retro-Action, hopefully that make a little more penetration.

            Matty only gives real answers to their "buddy" sites likes AFI, who also get free samples all the time. The downside is you have to sell your soul and integrity and refrain from ever talking negatively about the company.

              Count me in

              I already did that - but I don't get any free stuff! I guess the value of
              my soul was not that great.

                Question time again and I had some more Retro-Action questions. I also asked about a couple of other old toylines like Matt Mason and Big Jim. Plus some other randomness. Better answers this time around, plus an important note from one of Mattel's designers about what toyline he's currently most excited about! Check it out.

                  Good Questions!

                  I just wish there were more questions! Can the Museum also get in on the action and submit 3 questions to Mattel? Has this already been asked/ covered? It would be great to really get to hear more from Mattel about the Retro heroes!

                        So, "Retro-Action" 12" Movie Superman figures for holiday 2010? Is that what I should read from their comment about a "re-issued Zod"?

                          Sounds about right. They didn't say for sure if Zod would be on the new body, or if only Supes gets the new body. I may ask next time around.
