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

[dwayne1115]

Are there plans for any of the Muppet monsters like Sweetums and Doglion?

Minimates by end of year, I believe, but AF will most likely be early 2016. We have not solicited them to retailers yet, and there is an order-gathering period before manufacturing.

Are these going to be sold in the U.K?

Heh heh, a question about the terms of our license is a lot harder to answer than whether Swedish Chef comes with a spoon. I honestly do not know, I'd say ask the president via ASK DST, but he recently declined to answer: http://www.artasylum.com/2015/08/ask-dst-286-muppets-mad-max-the-matrix-and-more/
I guess we'll see how the first few decidedly Muppet-Show-based waves do.

Looking at that, I was the one who asked the question, but wasn't aware that the answer had been answered. I guess that's what I get for only seeing these links are posted here or at Tough Pigs, as opposed to checking on my own.

It's a shame that he's actually not allowed to answer.

I believe the action figure line is set up so that those characters would be possible in the format, but I am not sure how we'd do that with Minimates. There are possibilities, but we'll see how the line does.

Our license is for US and Canada, but there are US retailers who ship internationally, like BBTS, EntEarth, AFX and Luke's Toy Store.

I hope Statler and Waldorf make it into Series 2 !

They do!

Who else will be in series 2 ?

A few of the main characters we haven't gotten to, a couple of variations on Piggy and Kermit, and a couple of minor characters, including two who never got Palisades figures.

I'm guessing Sal might be one of the ones that palisades never made

Also any new updates on accessories on both lines

Can you say if Rowlf will be in series 2?
