I totally want Skeletor's throne! Glad to hear them say it's a possibility, at least.

Besides the answer on Clawful though...I pretty much could have answered this Q&A myself.

**Tallstar** · May 18, 2011, 07:41am

Throne of Bones response was the most interesting thing here.

Exactly! YAWN! mustve been slim pickin's in the question arena!

**thegrandchawhee** · May 18, 2011, 09:57am

That was pointless.

**motufan425** · May 18, 2011, 10:13am

This was a let down, honestly was it just me or did anyone else feel like these questions have been answered before...oh wait at least 2 of them have been answered before. Also, on a side note, number one isn't a question it's a statement.
Oh well, moving on then...

**Predabot** · May 18, 2011, 10:17am

If ya' want better questions... then why not try and ask them yourselves, eh?

I thought it was succinct and to the point. Some good answers, and especially the part where they're looking into the new male crotch-piece.

(That was actually news to me, that the new crotch-piece didn't work as well as it could have...)

**Eamon** · May 18, 2011, 11:07am

I would've thought that Skeletor's throne was a no brainer?!

**Skeletortilla** · May 18, 2011, 02:56pm

I picked what I thought were the best questions with the limited number that were available.
One great question had to be skipped because that person had a question answered in the previous round.
Also, at the time the Cringer question was asked, Toyguru had not yet released the statement regarding him.

Sorry if I disappointed.

**zodak74** · May 18, 2011, 05:15pm

Yeah, one of the challenges of choosing questions is that people come up with original questions, but by the time these get chosen and sent to Mattel, other like-minded fans have asked the same or similar questions on Mattycollector's forums (where ToyGuru is quicker to answer) or via other sites' Q&A's, thus the WTFWTK answers sometimes come out and sound a little redundant.

**JVS3** · May 18, 2011, 07:02pm

motufan425, there's a 2 week delay from when questions are submitted and when they are answered.
Sometimes these questions get answered on Matty in the mean time and sometimes unbeknownst to us they were submitted 2 weeks prior by another site and we get the answers the day after the questions were submitted.

That's just how it goes.

We're all dog-piling motufan425.

Of course, he kinda deserves it.

**Jedi Kermit** · May 18, 2011, 08:12pm

I enjoy coming here to get any MOTU news, trivia, and learning new stuff about a property I love. I have a problem with this.

Toy Guru posted a detailed account of this over in the Mattycollector.colm forums. Check it out for the full scoop!

If you are going to feature questions, Why not answer them directly or at least provide a link directly to the answer? The answer here no matter how much suger is put on it just says "find out for yourself". If an answer is not going to be answered in this place, forum, article,..just don't include it.

Just my two cents.

"route" words... hehe.

Oh, I'm not disappointed with the question selection. It's nothing against you, it's just all the answers keep coming off of Matty's cheat sheet.

**Darth Daddy** · May 18, 2011, 10:40pm

So, what was the answer to the Cringer question? I didn't see it on the mattycollector forums.

Welcome to the boards, and congrats on your first post.

I believe that he's referring to this (from this thread):

And finally Cringer, the added accessory! A lot of fans have asked why we went with a non articulated younger Cringer (well he can move his head and tail!) If we did a full adult sized Cringer with full articulation, that would take mega development and at this point we need to save that for figures like Hssss, Leech and other fully tool'd figures we want to get to one day like Ram Man etc...

We could potentially do an "adult" Cringer as a monthly slot as a fully tool'd figure. But to get a Cringer out now, this felt like a good starting point. Doesn't close the door, but doing a fully tool'd adult Cringer is not in the cards anytime in the next few years. Maybe down the road!

That's the answer they gave us.
They didn't provide a link. If they had, I would have definitely given it to you along with a quote from the link.

I think what dorrmann posted is the answer, though.

**baronterror** · May 19, 2011, 12:38am

yeah, not too exciting, but then here is the link to the He-man.org forums to see what the fans had to say, and as you said, Doorman posted the answer to cringer. I didnt want to hunt through the matty forums, and now I dont.

So tip top shape, all done good. thanks.

But I do agree this round was pretty unispired. Lets get some better questions you smart inventive people.

**Toyguru** · May 19, 2011, 10:02am

I totally get it being frustrating when a question is answered on another site or on our "Ask Matty" forum. Another thing to point out. It's been over 50 weeks of 5 to 10 questions. The thing is, there is only so much we can talk about (i.e. we can't comment on logistics, legal issues and characters not yet made). There just may not be that much more unknown info on the line. There just are not as many relevant questions.

Although I can tell you come SDCC, we are opening up several giant wind tunnels (figuratively speaking, this was not a Sy-Klone or Tytus reference or any other thing like that) that will really shake things up (that was not a Quakke reference or any other thing like that). I have a feeling the Q & As will liven up again (that was not a Glimmer reference or any other thing like that). We're in a bit of a "new info lull" as we save all the big news (that was not a Ram Man reference or any other thing like that) for SDCC!

**Swanmarsh** · May 19, 2011, 10:19am

Sorry guys if you didn't like the Bone Throne question.

Last I could recall there was a debate as to whether it was Filmation or available for use. I don't remember seeing the question answered directly before.

And yes, while one would hope being featured in the licencing kit would be a guarantee Skeletor's Bone Throne is owned by Mattel and available for use, there are the odd exceptions (like Light Hope featured in vintage POP mini-comics but still somehow seemingly off limits

).

Not at all mate, you picked mine and I really wanted to know if they had got Clawful's species name from any MYP notes or not so I was happy to get that answered

LOL! I love how you qualified everything!

Ok! So Glimmer, Quakke, and Ram Man...

Those would be awesome choices though. Especially Quakke.

**Darth Daddy** · May 19, 2011, 02:31pm

That was hilarious! Thanks for your note. I enjoyed that one, quite a bit.

Thanks for answering my question and thanks for the welcome, Dorrmann.
