Sorry, what does DCBS stand for? Bummer, I assume the remaining stores will be canceling DST pre-orders soon, too. I was really hoping those Muppets figures somehow snuck in before the axe.

She's not included in the leaked list for wave 3, and I haven't seen anything about a 4th wave, yet. The one that was in an earlier retro wave, as part of the Batman 66 comic figures, would probably make an acceptable stand in if there isn't a 4th wave. I expect there to be a 4th wave of retro...

I hope Fred and Barney aren't over $40, whenever they go up for pre-order.

Thanks! I'll keep my eyes open for a giant yellow canary and maybe a blue, furry, monster, too.

Do you know when the next Target event is supposed to be? At SDCC, I thought NECA implied Big Bird (I think he's next) was supposed to go up for pre-order soon. I certainly hope it's soon and maybe more than 1 figure get solicited at that time.

I was debating getting it, but the $50 price tag pretty much made the choice for me. I was hoping they would make a Santa figure eventually, but I am skeptical sales at $50 will warrant Jada making additional figures for this Christmas special.

Man, that list is a bummer if those characters can't get figures because I would buy every one of them. Hopefully, The Tick, Barry, and Chairface sales are high enough for FMF to pursue the license to the cartoon characters. I'd at least like Die Fledermaus, American Maid, Sewer Urchin, and...

Did Arthur's design change a lot during Edlund's run? Back when the cartoon originally aired, I vaguely remember being surprised how different he looked in images I saw of him from the comic. My Googling now just brings up images that look pretty similar to the cartoon. I'm curious if the...

I just noticed on the bbts description for The Tick figure that it is from the comic, not the animated series. Given the name of the line and the other characters shown, I'm embarrassed I didn't realize that The Tick is the comic version not from the animated series. I should have realized a...

Yes! It was Jada's SFII line that made me think about a Punch Out line. The version of the game with Mike Tyson is the one I remember most, too. But I am totally fine with him not being part of the line. I assume the game is popular/beloved enough to justify figures, but I'll keep putting it out...

Has there been any news on when the Chairface Chippendale figure will go up for pre-order or if there are more figures for the Tick line planned? I was just Googling characters from the show and, in addition to a nostalgia hit, I was reminded how many zany and toyetic characters there were. I...

The Tick was top want for me, too. I hope BBTS and FMF make it a real line and release figures at a decent rate. I wonder how pre-orders for Tick are going. Hopefully, they're high enough for them to start development on several more figures past Chairface.

I'd be all over Space Ghost and Looney Toons lines. Those are currently top of my wishlist. For Space Ghost, I would be happy with the 4 main characters from the Cartoon Network shows. For Looney Toons, I would love for the line to go deep into the characters. Although, I'm not interested in...

Looks like diamondselecttoys.com is down. It says 'temporarily down for maintenance', but I assume it will probably be permanent. Maybe it will come back better than ever?

For anyone else still interested in the Diamond bankruptcy legal mess, a bunch of loose ends were supposed to be addressed in court this week. Apparently, as the below article describes, only some progress was made and the issues will be covered in court at the end of September. I was hoping...

I hope you're both right, but I am concerned. The SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity is especially concerning. As the dissenting opinion notes, he could order the execution of political opponents and be immune from prosecution. It's a wildly broad ruling that has and will continue to allow...

I hope there are midterm elections....

Veebs posted on Instagram that Big Bird will be the next NECA Sesame Street figure to come out. He speculated it will be solicited in the next couple of weeks because it is supposed to come out by the end of the year. I hope they make his body a little bit wider/rounder in the final figure and...

Until my bbts and ee orders are canceled, I am holding onto hope. For the Rebellion! For Laura!

Someone on Reddit shared the email they received from EB Games with the list of canceled DST products. Looks like everything EB is selling. Damn. The Muppets aren't on there, though! Those could still be coming, right?!?!?!? I expect bbts and ee will cancel my orders there within the next couple...

It looks like the Mrs. Claus figure has a diaphragm cut. If they are not likely to redo the upper torso sculpt to allow for more reuse potential, I wonder if they could resculpt the lower torso to make it fatter. Since the lower torso seems to include the bottom of the coat, I assume reuse...

Thanks for letting me know!

Would someone who is at SDCC please let me know what is at the Diamond Select Toys booth space? Apparently, they set up something, and I'm really curious what it is. I'm guessing it's just a shop for merch from the various Ad Populum companies, but I'd still like to know.

Yesterday, I received the below message from DST customer service about my two outstanding orders from their website. One order was for pre-order items; the other was for in-stock. I don't know what Ad Populum will do with the existing DST products. Apparently they won't be selling them to...

In past cons, I think Jada usually adds more new figures to the display as the con goes on. I guess many companies do that. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Santa, Lucky, and Cap'n Crunch to join the display at some point this weekend. Jada seems to be quick with reveals and slow with putting...
