QUESTIONS:
Stores not getting JLU figures. Distribution? Fan relation brought in to address these concerns. Working on it with retail partners.

Online store? Looking at it.

Will there be convention exclusives at WWC next year since it's before SDCC? Haven't set anything yet. may have something here not at SDCC. Recognize importance of all conventions.

Superfriends line. More vehicles? My First Invisible Jet? Depends on how line does. Line has momentum.

6 inch Vertigo stuff? Invisibles? Do not have license for Vertigo.

New JLU 10 inch in 2008.

Legion of Superheroes? Nothing new since SDCC. Online store? Convention exclusives?

Justice Lords 10 inch Batman by end of year? Ask Target or WalMart why they aren't carrying certain things.

JLU Hal Jordan was a gift requested by WB. Mattel can't make him.

Working with manufacturers in China to make sure they're not using lead-based paint.

Some Charlton characters available, some not, can't talk about it due to legal hurdles. DC issue.

Do have license for Wonder Twins.

MOTU not "dead".

Re-issue of Super Powers? Don't have molds, they're at Hasbro, via Kennner.

6-inch line vehicles? Looking into it.
