Answers to WTFWTK 2.27!

[DavidSummers]

Very nice and informative answers!

Thanks very much!!

[Uki]

A good set of answers, this. I'm excited that we could get Veena and that Catra will be a Horde member oficially in the toyline. Very cool. I hope that they reuse that bare-midriff idea for bikini Teela down the road.

[motufan425]

Wait, what CATRA?!? oh my....to quote Madam Razz "I'm just so...sooo HAPPY ooooh"

[Master of Disguise]

Hmmm interesting answers there.

Teela exposing all for Hefnor's mag I see, who's next?.

[Staff Of Ka]

Can anyone shed some more light on these attitubes? What is their purpose? what do they do?

Can send ya pics buddy! The term 'Waste of Plastic' pretty much covers it!

That naked Teela is crazy! Too bad about the attitubes, I kind of liked em.

[Eterniandreams]

We won't need to fake it. The female basic "buck" is nude. When we get to Veena down the road she can have a 2 part dress/armor piece if that is the way the Horsemen go with her design.

Thanks for the reply, TG!
But I also ripped open a Teela like RocketPunch and here is no midsection that can be exposed. The white part doesn't look that anatomicly correct

I guess just that white part will be replaced

Purrr-fect news!

I have a feeling she will be the first Horde member we can place next to Hordak in our collection. Can't wait!

I would rather have MOTU/POP Barbies.

[Pendragon]

I didn't like the attitubes, I would prefer 200x micro busts or stactions if they want to expand the line.

This is a nice set of answers! I hope Catra will include both Licensing Guide and toy characteristics. Emiliano's version (Filmation look but painted in toy's original colours) looks awesome! I am looking forward to Catra, although I hope they consider doing first Glimmer and Bow that were the core characters in the She-Ra universe.

Toyguru said Bow isn't yet scheduled for development.

[Arthur]

But neither is Catra as far as we know, or did I miss something?

[cyberv]

No, you didn't miss anything, Arthur. My question pertained to Catra's future status as a Horde member, NOT to her hopeful release. So now we know that if/when she's done, she'll at the very least have a Horde sticker on her bubble. But that's a big "IF" atm.

[Tallstar]

But neither is Catra as far as we know, or did I miss something?

Yes, you did. kidding.

Just seems like Catra would be developed for the line before Bow, based on some of TG's comments.

[MegaGearMax]

I wonder if Catra will come with her cat form or will it be sold as a separate thing? I'd assume it would be too big to include with her...

Or Cringer for that matter...would the smaller scale big cats come on card or a smaller version of the Battle Cat box.

[chuc98]

Love the answer about Catra!

[sircory-1]

I thought that was a downer about the Attitubes. I would like to see some new MOTU merchandise other than just the awesome figures we get each month.

[Reboot]

Hmmm...I figured that they could do this IF they can do a DC Comics version of Teela down the line. She's the only other MOTU-verse character with an exposed navel too.

Depends - aren't the DC designs are in the same quagmire as the Filmation designs? And, with respect to the latter, I think there are a few designs that had a bare midriff - certainly, there was Teela's junkie pal from "A Friend In Need" (who could be done with a DC Teela upper torso, standard Teela arms, a She-Ra head, a new miniskirt and a load of red paint.)

I think Catra should come with a little black cat like the mini-comics as a pack in and then release a bigger one she can transform into later and pack in other cool stuff so it's not just a cat.

FINALLY, what I felt was a round of decent answers (even though very few questions were asked or picked) !

- I'm happy about the attitubes news. IMO, they were horrible (except the Battlecat), and they would have just delayed the release of normal MOTUC figures. Not to mention that their possible failure might have caused the demise of the whole MOTUC line.

- The possibility of Catra and Veena is really cool ! Catra being a member of the Horde, just like she should be, is great too. Toyguru didn't mean that these figures are necessarily planned, but are as much a possibility as any other, and are thought of. Awesome !

- Great to hear about the possibility of our Serbian fans ordering MOTUC figures soon ! Hope Digital River makes a big effort about this...

[hhhelmsley]

Lord_Of_Destruction: It's been stated that all female figures will use the same basic body. How will this affect a possible Veena figure since she is supposed to be barefoot and have an exposed midriff? Would her outfit be refreshed/altered or would she receive different tooling?[/I]

Females will share the same basic body, but as you have already seen from Teela and Adora, new arms, legs and dresses (armor) will be created for each figure. So it is very easy to do new bare feet and attach them to the female buck for a Veena figure in the future. We will also be using a looser plastic on the armor for females (starting with Adora) to help with the articulation.

Great answer!!!!!

3. Spectror: Are there countries that Mattel is prohibited from delivering to, and if so why? For instance, Matty Collector doesn't deliver to one of the fans in Serbia.

Serbia is currently not a country DR ships to, but they are in the process of scoping out how they can include it. (I’ve personally requested this). Unfortunately there is quite a bit of work involved so I don’t have an ETA yet. It is being looked into.

And now, we wait...
Here's hoping that issue will be fixed soon.

[Minion]

I'm totally gutted about the AttiTUBES not coming out. I love Mighty Muggs, and other vinyl toys, and they looked amazing. I really hope they find some way to release these in the future.
