Does anyone know if BFS will have a stream to announce new upcoming figures? The last couple of years, they did that to announce new waves for different lines. I'm curious if they'll be making any more Fraggle or Popeye Classics figures. My guess is they'll be another wave of Fraggle Rock...

Apparently, Diamond was in talks with potential buyers at SDCC last year, well before they filed for bankruptcy in January. They were obviously in financial trouble for a while. Since there were some figures that were supposed to come out last April that were still not released, I'm worried DST...

Does anyone know of podcasts or other media where toy industry folks discuss 'inside baseball'? I watched a show with comic book store owners who were talking with a reporter about the Diamond purchase, and they speculated that toys were a main motivator for Ad Populum making the purchase. I...

I forget, does the single version become available on bbts at the same time or after the timed 2-pack?

I'm holding out hope that both the Deadly and Pepe and Sweetums sets release. Based on the Deadly and Pepe set getting pushed back to the end of the year at some retailers, I wonder if the Sweetums set jumped them in production order. Here was the incredibly fast bbts customer service email...

I sent bbts customer service an email to see if they have any updates on the status of DST pre-orders. This was part of their reply, "we are hoping that it is likely that most Pre-orders are still going to be fulfilled but we can't say for certain at this point." I know that isn't really new or...

The food mascots I ordered arrived the other week, and I think I've made a huge mistake getting these. I really like all the figures, although Chester and Tony show a clear improvement in quality over the cereal monsters. They are all fun to see on my shelf, and I am excited to buy as many as...

I'm surprised that Winston is going up for pre-order this week even though Peter is delayed. I would have assumed they'd wait until more people get Peter, since some folks will be reluctant to drop $100 or $200 on figures that they haven't had a chance to handle. That said, I plan to pre-order...

Thanks, I'll do that in the future. Maybe I'll get lucky and find them when they become available. What a frustrating start to my day. Bummer.

Damn. It's not letting me pre-order. How did y'all find the two pack on Target? My searches kept coming up empty. I guess it's scalper mark up price for me.

Just making sure I have the time correct, the Psylocke and Thanos two-pack will go up for pre-order at Target at 9:00 AM EDT on Friday (6/6)? I keep seeing EST, but the US is in daylight savings time now. I assume EST is a mistake, just want to make sure.

When do folks think we'll get a clearer idea about the fate of DST pre-orders? I have no sense of timing.

The 3 cereal monsters were discounted at Ross. I think it's worth checking. Last I checked, they were sold out at bbts, probably due to Tony getting folks excited about the line. As Dan Larsen has pointed out, advertisers in the late 80s and early 90s have broken the brains of us who grew up...

I've heard that the three cereal monsters are not great, but Chester and Tony demonstrate how much Jada has improved as an action figure maker. Sorry to heat about the broken arm. Hopefully, bbts or Jada send you a replacement without hassle. @Justice I'd be happy with a slightly bigger Green...

I'd buy all the figures for the characters folks have suggested. I'd be down for them to make at least 15 figures. I would even buy all three of the cinnamon toast crunch guys. How big would the Jolly Green Giant be?

*Fun and colorful* capitalist mascots designed to sell me food that should not be consumed by human beings. I was hesitant to get these figures for this reason; I didn't really need commercials represented on my shelves. But, the fun and colorful aspect, plus my 2025-induced increased desire...

It looks like Diamond Comic Distributors is getting some additional competitors. Bleedingcool.com has a couple articles about Universal (one of the bankruptcy winning bidders) and Alliance Entertainment (the initial bankruptcy winning bidder) potentially looking into pursuing distribution in the...

I've only seen one Fei Long at my local Targets, no other SFII figures. I'm not sure if it's a distribution or scalper issue here. I'm really hoping Blanka and Sagat ship from bbts this week. I did my part by shipping my POL on Sunday.

Last night, on their YouTube stream, the guys from Hella Dope Toys said they've received an email indicating their DST pre-orders already in production are likely to come out. They did caveat to say plans could change. I think this is particularly good news for Marvel Select collectors because...

If NECA did/does pick up the Muppets license, when is the earliest we would learn that and start seeing products? Are NYCC in October or NY Toy Fair next February too early? I don't have any idea how long it would take to renegotiate the license agreement, plan and design products, create...

I have a bbts POL that needs to ship this weekend, which I assume means the Blanka and Sagat I pre-ordered will come in early next week. You're welcome in advance. I wonder when Vega will go up for pre-order. Maybe they'll have him for sale at SDCC, and he'll go up for pre-order shortly...

Thanks for the replies with insights that are giving me more hope we'll get some of the pre-orders. Although, I am curious about the licensing issue. I've read many posts here about licenses not transferring, although some were supposed to be included when Alliance Entertainment was the buyer...

There have been a few recent developments that are giving me renewed hope for DST and pre-orders. Apparently, a new wave of Minimates went up for pre-order on Friday. I don't know if this was an oversight by Ad Populum or intentional. A retailer on Instagram (Luke314pi) said he didn't know...

Thanks for reminding me about this option. I was checking out Deadly and Link figures on eBay but have held off on buying them because they're so expensive. They might be the best option. Thanks! I'm still holding out hope that Sweetums, Deadly, and Pepe ship. Around 10-20 minutes in the below...

I could be wrong. Oscar may be next. I think he was originally supposed to come next. Not to be too greedy, but I hope the line picks up speed a little bit. I'd prefer getting 4-5 figures a year instead of 2-3. I'm guessing the tariffs are encouraging NECA to speed up. Since Sweetums, Pepe, and...
