June 20, 2008: Mattel Could Release Superboy Action Figure

BatmanYTB.com report that Mattel could potentially release a "Reign of the Supermen" Superboy action figure, although it's unlikely he'll be called "Superboy" due to legal reasons.

    Q: When Wave 6 of the DCUC hits, we will have 3/4s of the Reign of the Supermen figures. With the current lawsuit involving Superboy, does that halt any plans for a "Superboy" figure? Can you use the name "Kon-El" or "Conner Kent" instead?

    A: We have the visual rights to all of these characters even if not called "Superboy". The Reign of the Supermen version could potentially be released as a "Superman's Teenage Clone" action figure.
