Can anyone explain this wording to me: “based on current DVD figure sales.” Does that mean sales of the figures based on the Public Enemies DVD? Or do they actually mean “DVD sales figures” as in the DVDs are not popular enough? Neither of those options would be affected by a time crunch.

Maybe they mean that they did not yet have enough data on the sales of the Public Enemies figures for the necessary lead time to coincide with this next release.

I like the Q&A’s, but answers like these only confuse the issue, a simple “no” might have been better.

Mattel needs to up their game… on a different note, go see Public Enemies (I mean the movie) with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.

Are there reports of them showing up or going to show up there?
I did not even know TJ Max had a toy dept.

I’m also concerned that we will never see the other two figures from Public Enemies (Black Lightning and Major Force) meaning all Brimstones will be short a few pieces.

I say put the animated movie figures in the JLU line, I know it started as representing the Timm Verse, but with the Superfriends added and other characters, no reason we shouldn’t be able to see these there.
Not to mention, I’d hate to have to buy Superman, Batman, etc, all over again, before even getting to the characters that this story is also about, the Crime Syndicate…

too bad for i would have loved to see Mattel do the crime sydicate even animated. and i kind of liked their attempt at silver banshee in the public enemies line.though given how long the time frame dc annouces these dc prodcuts one would think Mattel would start figures the moment the things are announced as a go. Mattel lost some profit by not doing crisis

I surely would have picked up a Silver Banshee had she matched the normal DCUC style. Now we’ll probably never get one for that line, but the PE one looks way too passive for that character, not to mention there is something off about the nose/mouth.
