This past round of questions were selected by bObA_fEtt_Ox.
Thanks to that fan for their help!!!

The questions that were asked in the previous Q&A & will be answered in a couple weeks as follows (please do not repeat them, or questions from previous Q&As):

1. grayskull's heir: Many people have criticized the size of Castle Grayskull. There is a difference in size between the b-sheet and the prototype. Plus the height of the base also makes the doorway smaller. Will the prototype be changed to match the height and size originally shown in the b-sheet, while also adjusting the base to give the doorway more height?

2. captainmendoc: When the pod is removed from the top of Castle Grayskull's crown could there be a hole inside that would mate with the long part of the Wind Raider stand, or could the hole in the base of the Wind Raider mate with the top of the castle in some way?

3. boba_fett_ox: is it possible to change the prison in Castle Grayskull so we can see a character's head and not only their chest?

4. psy_coma77: Now with a solid relationship between Mattel and DC/Warner, how about working with Warner's Interactive's Netherrealm studios to produce a MOTU fighting game?

5. Vaultsofgrayskull: Can you replace a beast slot or multi-pack slot with a vehicle slot in future subscriptions so that you end up selling enough to make it worth your while and we get vehicles we're otherwise at risk of not seeing?

So ask those questions!

[Replikor]

Would it be possible to confirm for us that plans are indeed being put in place now to try and make a grayskull additions pack that would include a 3D sculpted clamshell style grayskull dungeon? As many fans are actually very upset that the classic sticker from the vintage castle grayskull was not included into the Classics Grayskull Playset.

[zodak74]

Could the clip on Castaspella's shield be switched before she goes into production? The way the current PoP shields are- they only snap on the left wrist- and her left hand is the open spell-casting hand that you would end up snapping her spell effect onto. It would make better sense for the shield to snap on her right arm, so that she can raise her left arm and display the spell effect

[Shokoti's Slave]

When are we going to get some news on 2014? Shouldn't we have heard something by now, see the thermometer or something?

[tenno]

I realize that most of the old published media can be read on-line, but does Mattell still have the rights?
And has there been anything discussion about offering them digitally on one of the standard e-reader formats? I'm willing to bet people would pay $1-5 per mini-comic.
I just haven't heard anything about the old books in a long time and would like to know where they stand in Mattel's thoughts.

[Nemisythe]

I am liking the protective cases you guys unveiled at the 'Fair.
But was is a necessity to produce these when others have?
Now I am not defending them as I am aware you are a business and these things happen (and I may purchase them since I never bought for anyone yet), but couldn't the money have put into this have been put into a figure, tooling or something we need to complete a figure or the line?

[Coptur]

When you get to Terror Claw Skeletor will he come with his 'Havoc Cannon' as seen 3rd mini comic?

[DO4M]

assuming that future add-on stuff is made to Castle Grayskull (like the Vintage Dungeon grate as a 3D Item) is it possible to get Classicized versions of the weapons from the 200X Castle?

[facet]

Why were new characters created as king graykulls allies, when the 200x series fleshed out 9 allies that were never expanded upon, yet became some of the most powerful beings, on the planet, The council of elders. Will we ever learn anything more of these 9 characters.

[Tuukka]

Does Mattel have the vintage cardback sheets for every figure released back then? If you do please print them and put them up for sale! Something like 8 characters per set. After that make a new protective cases for loose vintage figures where we can include the new cardbacks.

Many vintage collectors would thank you for that
