Any Retro-Action Questions for Mattel?

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Here's a question: Since the BTTF Delorean has had a Hot Wheels appearance, any chance of Marty and Doc Brown in 8" Retro?

Another question.... Are there any plans to expand the 8 inch clothed figures into more modern / current licenses? If not could this be a sure fire sign that this resurrgence is targeted only for the adult collector with no sincere interest in recapturing the childrens market?

I have a question:

Obviously there were some missteps and miscalculation with the MEGO revival; when the line is attempted again in 10 or so years, will you follow a similar pattern or try something vastly different?

Here's one; They said they were having shipping issues and delays, has that been rectified or are there still shipping problems?

I am not sure where all of the parts for these figures are made and maybe one of the guys in the know (people actually working with EMCE and Mattel) could answer this; has the enviremental issues in Japan negatively affected the line's production or shipping?

After reading more of Geoffdude's comments,I think he knows the Toy Industry quite well and he hit the nail on the head "One thing is for sure though, prices are higher than ever, stock is lower than ever and toy lines are fewer overall."

This trend will continue and the Future of most action figures lines (at least the real good, worth while stuff) will be sold online.

Thank you for the opportunity for members to post suggested questions to Mattel. I appreciate it.

No problem. It may blow up in my face and Mattel may give us a bunch of crap answers. It happens sometimes. But at least we tried. The answers should be here in a few days and we'll see.

Oh, maybe not. I might be thinking about that other MEGO site.

There is no other Mego site.

I suppose now that things are on the downswing, they can't afford to be turning away anymore potential customers.

Yes, like Scott said, they are very lenient here
Not saying everyone gets away with everything.
We try to keep it civil. There are kids here too.
And some of us that relive childhood!
Just a bunch of toy freaks!

I'll be submitting a new Q&A to Mattel in the next couple of days, so you have until Sunday to give me questions. Please if your only intention is to come in here and bash the fact Mattel often gives BS answers, don't respond. I am simply posting this up as a courtesy to those who may actually have some solid questions they would like to ask.

The mods must be a lot more lenient with their banishments these days. The last time someone spoke out to this degree they were kicked off immediately.

Are you sure it was THIS site?

This debate isn't being handled in a mature way by several people, but it's a debate. You don't get kicked off here for being wrong...or arrogant....or obnoxious.

This thing went off the rails!
