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.toyark.com/2025/03/02/nytf25-diamond-select-toys-and-gentle-giant-disney-and-muppets-557771 Here are some additional photos of the new Lips and Lew figures. Overall, I really like them both. I like the Palisades head sculpt for Lew a little more than this one, mostly for how the...

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...

That is bad news. For the sake of the employees and the dozen of additional Muppet figures I want them to make, I hope this bankruptcy and potential acquisition process goes smoothly and quickly. I'm not sure if those folks will continue working and products will continue being produced for the...

https://www.youtube.com/live/uLUFnN9CQ7g?si=vrNog7-GxjgS9hdv In this recent YouTube, Zach talks a lot about their Muppets figures. It sounds like Deadly and Pepe are now supposed to ship in February, and Lips and Lew Zealand will go up for pre-order in March or April. I'm not excited about the...

Thanks for putting together this list of potential figures. I think my guess about Beauregard and Pops being next is likely incorrect. I made that guess because Zach Oat mentioned those two characters during a couple of YouTube interviews, which made me think they were next. More recently over...

A lot of exciting info and discussion in the interview. It's good to know the NECA team are paying close attention to the details of the puppets to make the figures as accurate as possible. Trevor mentioned that the original line up included several blue furry characters in a row in wave 2 or...

In case you haven't already heard, be careful moving the joints on these figures. They are fragile. I suggest soaking them in really hot water for a few minutes before trying to move them. I agree Gobo's eyes are a little too big. As long as I'm not comparing the figure directly with an image of...

To me, Bert and Ernie look a little too tall. In other Instagram photos posted by Paul Harding, Bert is about the same height as the Palisades Link, and Ernie is about the same height as Fozzie. I think Link is the tallest Palisades figure, other than Sweetums. I'm not sure if Bert is one of the...

I think Oscar makes a lot of sense, since he was shown as another figure in their Toony Terrors line with Bert and Ernie. I don't think they've shown the fourth figure for that line either. I'd be happy with any classic (pre-90s) character, but I'm hoping it's a monster. I really hope NECA is...

At their NYCC panel last weekend, Diamond Select showed 3d renders of Lips and Lew Zealand. Overall, I think they look good, but I think the back of Lips' hair should be shrunk a little and Lew should be a little taller. I'm so excited to get these two! They also answered a question during...

I agree. I think it's great that we have already heard about the next set that will go up for pre-order. That makes it seem like the line will continue along with continuous, although slow, releases. But, the long delay getting Pepe and Deadly is definitely killing the momentum for the line. I...

On a recent YouTube interview, DSTZach said he thought Deadly and Pepe would be shipping in a couple months. I guess they were way off with their initial June availability date. He also said Lips and Lew are painted and may go up for pre-order when Deadly and Pepe start shipping, or the...

I'm so excited for these! I wonder if they'll start showing up in stores before they arrive at online retailers in January. Guy Smiley would be a fun choice for the fourth figure. As long as they get to all 20ish characters I want, I don't care too much about order. It seems like a common...

If Deadly and Pepe start shipping soon, which I really hope is the case, I think Lew Zealand and Lips could go up for pre-order before the end of the year. On a recent YouTube interview, Zach mentioned Beauregard and Pops as two other Muppets they are thinking about making. It's awesome we could...

Has anyone seen any updates on when wave 2 will ship or the status of a 3rd wave? Since wave 1 was delayed for so long, I assume wave 2 won't start shipping until early next year or later. But, maybe the issues that slowed down wave 1 have been fixed for wave 2? I really hope the figures are...

I am so happy! Lips and Lew are the two Muppets I want most! I wonder when we'll see prototypes and/or promo photos. In another YouTube interview, Zach said that sculpts are done. Maybe we'll see them at NYCC in October. I'm so excited!
