    Parts?

    I haven't seen parts mentioned for the new superheroes.

    Doc, if you want to nip this in the bud, please do.

    I think if we knew we could get parts for all of these new figures Mattel is releasing, it would definitely not repeat history. I think I remember reading an interview with the good doctor about how he heard from people who had a "Batman with one glove..." etc. I think it would prevent an problem for our kids that we had. I have a daughter and 2 sons. THey will all have the new figs for sure.

    Your thoughts?

    I doubt highly that Mattel cares about selling parts from figures any more than Mego did back in the day. Maybe 20 years from now Eddie will start making repro Mattel parts in his garage under the guise of Doc Mattel...then he'll get a C&D....then he'll start his own company.....then become a toy consultant.....you never know......only time will tell.
    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

        You could also try contacting Mattel's customer service dept. and ask if you can get replacement or missing parts. Worked wonders for me when I was a kid and needed a replacement fist for my Godzilla (I wound up getting TWO of 'em! Mattel's swell!)
        "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

          Just use old mego parts.
