    Holy crap, they actually gave a straight definitive answer with a minimum of PR doublespeak. I'm stunned.

        So it sounds like they're not planning to do multiple versions of Batman afer all. At least for the foreseeable future. Thank god

            The nice thing about MOTUC is it is not a retail line so we can change things up based on price point and package size. We are not restricted to one “footprint” as we are with a retail line. If we wanted to do more Trollans we could easily find a way with unique price points or structures!
            This caught my attention. It was noted that a long eared Batman or a removable helmet Manta could not be done because of blister size, but I would imagine that if it was a matty exclusive retro figure, then this limitation might not hold true?

              I'd hate to see THAT Manta... one honkin' big ugly helmet.

                Hmmmm....when was the last time Mattel (or any modern toy company) made only ONE version of Batman?

                    I think the translation here is, "We'll know better whether enough RC Batmans are sold to determine whether it justifies a different version."
