    It's about a minute before the bust.

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    This is always how action figures work. Each series released determines the fate of the next. A company can't commit to making x number of characters hoping that somebody will buy them all at the end of the line once they feel enough characters have been released. "Hopefully" is the best you can...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    They have responded saying that they are still looking into alternative methods of distribution. I asked what we fans can do at this time and they said nothing at the moment, but they will put out a call for support at some point in the future, and we can respond then. So everyone be on the...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I haven't gotten my notice, but it sells cancelled on Entertainment Earth, too. I also don't want to give up hope. I have emailed Diamond to see if they are still planning an alternative method of distribution such as direct-selling. Will let you all know if they respond.

    Another Ask DST posted today in which they again state they are looking into their options for Series 4 and beyond. If anybody hasn't bought waves 1-3 and want to see more, buy them soon! http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/2017/12/ask-dst-381-kingdom-hearts-pacific-rim-muppets-more/

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    That's disappointing. I hope everyone takes the advice from the article and orders 1-3, preorders 4, and reaches out to Diamond and retailers to show interest. Maybe only a small bit of hope at this time, but worth giving it a try!

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Diamond posted a revised shipping calendar on their Facebook page on October 24th which no longer included the Muppets at all. I commented and asked if that meant that the Muppets line had been cancelled and they responded, "Working on an alternate form of distribution." So I would say that a...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Too soon to tell at this point. Diamond has been a bit cryptic in their response, and said the sales of Series 3 action figures and pre-orders of 4 will determine if 4 is released. The minimates are done.

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Wow! I need one of those. Looks great!

    Diamond responded to a Facebook post from February 2017 stating that series 5 is a possibility: "If everyone pre-orders Series 4, maybe!" It's nice to hear they haven't ruled it out.

    Entertainment Earth just charged my credit card, which means I should have them next week!

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Phone orders over $99 at Entertainment Earth have free shipping. If you call to place your order and buy waves 3 and 4 together, you'd cut out the shipping costs, at least. The good thing about EE is they do not charge your credit card until the item is in stock, so you would be charged in waves...

    Thanks for the update! Can you share which last few characters of minimates had been designed that you are pushing for?

    Got it. I just thought not all accessories were ready at that time since they were in the early stages, but maybe the ones they added for 2017 were the additions, including the piano.

    Palisades also had some huge delays between waves. I believe the gap between Palisades waves one and two was about six months (with the date being pushed back again and again), so this really doesn't feel all that strange to me. I am sure we will get series 3 of Diamond, and I am hopeful for 4.

    The piano is right next to Rowlf in the Toy Fair 2017 pictures: http://news.toyark.com/2017/02/19/toy-fair-2017-diamond-select-toys-nbx-muppets-243324

    I believe the piano was already planned, but who knows!

    I think if it was pessimistic they might just say Seems unlikely. Maybe right now they would like to, but it could go either way.

    In today's Ask Diamond Select Toys, someone asked if there would be more Muppets past series 4, and they said no plans yet, they are waiting for sales, but they are very hopeful. Would you say hopeful is the same as optimistic? I hope so!
