Thanks! I missed that info. If the next figure(s) are supposed to release in Q2 2026, I'm guessing they'll go up for pre-order soonish. Or is Q2 when they'll go up for pre-order? I'll scroll back in the thread to check the original post. There's a long list of characters I want NECA to make, and...

Any guesses on when the next figure will go up for pre-order? Will it be Herry, Big Bird, or Oscar? Maybe they're waiting for all three to be reading to solicit together. It's been a while since the Count went on sale, and I'm eager for more figures.

Based on comments from DSTChuck, I think orders for the Deadly and Pepe two-pack were low. I'm guessing the company decided not to use their limited funds to start production for a relatively unpopular product. I get the impression pre-orders for Sweetums were higher, so I was hoping that figure...

I wonder if Sweetums didn't jump Deadly and Pepe in production order based on number of pre-orders. I wouldn’t be surprised if none of the figures made it far into production, likely not even to the tooling stage. During their 25th anniversary livestream, Chuck mentioned that pre-orders of the...

At this point, it seems increasingly unlikely any of the Muppet pre-orders will be released. Apparently, EB Games has canceled a bunch of DST pre-orders. The list seemed to cover all items the sell, but there may be a few products still coming. I received an email from DST customer service...

Good questions, Count. The Count figure is also available on Big Bad Toy Store for $42 and $4 shipping. With taxes, that's still closer to $50. I agree, these prices are making it tough to collect the line...

Now that I have a Count figure, and he is becoming available at more places, I'm starting to get eager for the next figure. Will it be Herry Monster? I think the NECA folks said he was further along than Big Bird and Oscar. Whichever figure it is, I hope it goes up for pre-order soon. Maybe it...

I feel terrible for Zach Oat and all the former DST employees who lost their job. I hope they're all able to find new work quickly. Diamondselecttoys.com now shows a message about DST being on pause as they prepare to show new offers and keep checking back. I'm not sure if this means lines will...

If this purchase goes through (fingers crossed!), I wonder how the Disney license will work. I don't think it was included in the Alliance purchase. Maybe it will need to be renegotiated. Having DST continue their Muppets line, including the figures already solicited, plus NECA making updated...

DST, along with several other Diamond Comic companies, was just purchased by Alliance Entertainment in Diamond's bankruptcy auction. I think this means the solicited figures will actually get made, plus hopefully more. I think the line definitely needs some steady releases to build back up some...

Diamond Select's Lips and Lew Zealand went up for pre-order this morning. They're available at the dst website or online retailers, like entertainmentearth.com or bigbadtoystore.com. They're supposed to be available January 2026. I guess that depends on how the bankruptcy auction that's...

https://www.youtube.com/live/-3i-CqeExE8?si=zCMAeJzKttmM8QgV Around the 55 min mark in the video, DSTZach says that Lips and Lew Zealand are about to be solicited for pre-order. I assume that means they'll go up for pre-order in March. Around the 70 min mark, he says that Lips and Lew will be on...

Unfortunately, Diamond Select also filed ch. 11 bankruptcy, in addition to Diamond Comic Distributors, though the filings are being handled under the same case. DST's filing indicated they have higher liability than assets. I'm hoping a large portion of the liability is obligation, like sculpts...

I was reading a little about the closure of Palisades to see if it could provide any indication of what is likely to happen with DST. It seems like Palisades didn't file for ch. 11 bankruptcy but was still trying to sell off assets before eventually closing what remained of the company. I guess...
