Matty, the Master Toy Collector of Mattel, has opened up a monthly question and answer session. From burning questions regarding MattyCollector.com to any one of Mattel's many amazing toy lines, Matty will try his best to answer them all.

Without further ado, here's Matty and his answers for today's Q&A...

1) Making the DCUC display stands was a great idea but unfortunately the peg holes on most figures are too large so they do not work very well with the base pegs. Are you working on rectifying this by making the peg holes on the figure’s feet smaller so they can firmly stay attached to the bases?

We’ll pass this comment onto design to see if improvements can be made.

2) The DC Universe consists of many diverse and interesting costumed heroes and villains but some of the people behind those disguises are equally interesting and iconic. Would Mattel consider producing "behind the mask" or "secret identity" sets like a Bruce Wayne/Batman or Selina Kyle/Catwoman 2-pack?

While we may not do a secret identity 2-pack, doing figures without their masks would be very cool. No plans to announce quite yet though!

3) The exclusive DC Public Enemies movie toy line was a great idea! Are there any plans to produce future assortments based on other DC animated films?

We’ll have to see how the PE figures do first before committing to any other projects!

4) Now that the Collect-and-Connect Darkseid has been officially revealed, how much longer will fans need to wait for a CAC Doomsday?

We would love to get to a new Doomsday but nothing is ready to reveal quite yet!

5) Are there any chances we will see some “Blackest Night” DC zombies in 2010?

Not in 2010. Right now, DC Direct is doing a great line of Blackest Night figures which are very keen!
