The Joker’s prototype is in development, so he will be up next after Batman.

Batman: Any plans on making Ra’s Al Ghul or his daughter Talia Al Ghul figures?

We always wanted to make Ra’s Al Ghul. Possibly it will be released as a special or exclusive item.

Can really name what it is yet, but it would be a pleasant surprise for our fans.

X-Men movie franchise was a success, any plans on their figures?

We do want to develop more characters from X-Men, but as each character’s likeness needs to be handled individually, it requires quite a bit more time and extra costs in order for it to be done.
