Question
hi,
maybe you can answer this question for me.
I want to produce a very limited run of handmade action figure 12inch.
everything will be handmade except the action figure body.
I need to use an action figure body but I don't know how it works.
I was thinking about a mattel 12inch,in the past a toys designer use this type of body from mattel.
what is the cost for this kind of request to mattel.
thanks
Alex
Hello...unfortunately I do not know the amount they may charge you for your item. It would depend greatly on the quantity and which mold you might want. Hasbro/Mattel have several different molds over 50 plus years to choose from. That is if they would even part with any. They are only producing a limited number of 12 inch figures each year and they may have contracts with other producers to not let these items out to new producers. Best to contact the company direct with your inquiry. Hope this is some help but a little out of my field. Good Luck!

Expertise
I am a graduate and self studied/taught expert in answering specific questions about vintage Star Wars and GI Joe figures, vehicles and misc. collectables. The reference to Star Wars 'vintage', to me, refers to the items which appeared from 1977 to 1985. Notice this also refers to the elusive items which were produced for the two cartoon series productions. 'Vintage' GI Joe items include only the 12 inch / 1:6 height variety produced proir to 1980. In most cases I should be able to identify an item by description. For approximates on value I of course would need some decent photos.
Experience
I have been a collector, buyer, seller and general fan, of vintage toys, for the last 30 years. My schooling and self study has included years of research and travel to various events. I have owned/still own numerous examles of many collections for study, research and comparison. I am still an avid trader, buyer and seller of these and several other high quality items.
