I’ve seen quite a few folks asking why Mattel and Scott/Toyguru is appearing on podcasts and rallying so hard behind getting the MOTUC sub to fund and neglecting the DC Sub. The answer was – no one else had asked him. So we fix that here.
I sat down with Scott yesterday for an hour to grill him on all things DC Club Infinite Earths, and tried to ask all of the questions that I had seen around the web that folks were asking about this year’s DC sub, such as:
- About New 52 popping up in the 2014 sub (there are none)
- The possibility of a fan vote for a sub slot?
- Why are the Red Hood and Batzarro in the sub?
- Will we get BOTH Doomsdays?
- And much more!
Scott is very honest and candid with his answers.
After listening to this podcast, if your question has still not yet been answered then post your question in the comments below and I’ll follow up with Scott.
Feel free to share this interview anywhere you think it will help rally fans to push the sub through for another year of awesome, Four Horsemen sculpted DC figures!

i was going to drop the DC sub this year. among the 4 figures shown, i am only interested in one of them. but after listening to this podcast, i am back to on the fence. it is good to know that there will be more female characters in 2014 and no the new 52 figures. i hope there are more information release regarding the 2014 sub so i can finalize my decision. but a few things for sure i don’t want another batman beyond figure or any more batman/superman variants in my collection, please save these slots for some characters that are not released.
“I’ve seen quite a few folks asking why Mattel and Scott/Toyguru is appearing on podcasts and rallying so hard behind getting the MOTUC sub to fund and neglecting the DC Sub. The answer was – no one else had asked him.”
No one had asked him? We’ve been asking for that very thing ever since the sub started, on matty’s forum and elsewhere. We’ve been asking from the beginning for some marketing push, even if just viral marketing, to promote the DC sub so it wouldn’t squeak by. It’s just felt like not the same level of trying to generate excitement, interest, or heck just even knowledge that the sub exists.
I ordered a sub, based on the figures announced, and my general happiness with the figures released so far, but I can understand there’s a skepticism behind decisions to order based on the perceived lack of enthusiasm on Mattel/Nietlich’s part.
