I'm worried that these stupid tariffs may make the purchase of Diamond by Universal and Ad Populum fall through. I really hope it happens. The graphs posted in the tariffs thread that show roughly 50% of toy manufacturing SMEs thought their company was at risk of going out of business in the...

Is anyone else here collecting the Popeye Classics line? I'm curious what other folks think about the latest wave and the line in general. I thought the wave 3 figures are the best so far. None of mine had any QC issues, and they all felt solid and moved well. The character selection was great...

Thank you for sharing the link! I turned on the notification, too. I wonder what will happen to DST's Muppets line if NECA's parent company ends up being the one to purchase Diamond, which seems to be the case. I don't think the Disney license was part of the package when Alliance was supposed...

The articles speculate the trade war Trump escalated likely contributed to AENT canceling the purchase, especially since the gaming industry seems to be particularly impacted, and Alliance Games was a major part of the deal. That makes sense to me. What makes you think AENT would have been...

Apparently, Alliance just canceled its purchase of Diamond. https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/59418/alliance-entertainment-terminates-diamond-purchase-agreement The articles I've seen speculate that the second highest bidder (Universal and Ad Populum) will now have an opportunity to purchase...

I've been planning to wait for Count to show up at other online retailers, but I'm also impatient. Hopefully, it is available next Friday. Apparently, Alliance pulled out from purchasing Diamond. I don't know what this means for DST. Maybe the backup bidder will now be buying them...

Does anyone know what's up with the Count figure on the Target website for Haulathon? It shows up on the week 3 drops at the Haulathon website, but then I can't find it in the Target App when I click on the link. I think the Alliance purchase of Diamond was finalized today. I assume the first...

This thread is such a bummer for me because I really like several BFS lines, mainly the Fraggle Rock and Popeye Classics lines, but learning about the owner being so terrible really sours my opinion of the whole company. I guess I'll have to do some thinking to decide if I want to keep...

I made George from a Bunsen figure, which I resculpted and repainted. I also sculpted the mop. Next up is Mildred, which I am making from Beaker and should be done in a couple weeks. Looks like the Alliance Entertainment purchase of all Diamond companies has been accepted by the courts. I hope...

I just received an email from bbts that Pepe and Uncle Deadly are pushed back to Q4 2025. Also, here's the custom George the Janitor I made.

Oh man, I wish I knew about this forum earlier. I'm happy to be finding it now, even though the Fwoosh is back up and looking good. There's lots of exciting Muppet figures news that my wife is sick of hearing me talk about. Are folks having any issues with joints on the new Fraggle Rock...
