Maybe Herry Monster? I think they said at Toy Fair that Big Bird and Oscar both needed a little more work. I hope they have at least a couple more on display at SDCC. My guess is Cookie Monster and Guy Smiley. I agree the Sesame Street line is slightly bigger than Palisades, but I was surprised...

The articulation for the figures later in the Palisades line don't bother me too much, but I would definitely welcome updated figures for the first few waves. Having no ankle rockers is the biggest annoyance to me for the Palisades figures. I would probably be picky in my purchases if NECA makes...

Yeah, you're probably right. I was feeling optimistic for a few minutes until I thought about it more and notice 'inventory' mentioned. I'm curious to see what dirt cheap Travel and Shooting Sport merchandise I can snag in the sale. I'm joking but very sad about all of this. Alliance...

Diamondselecttoys.com has been updated. The front page now has the below message plus a message about "exciting new offers". It's giving me hope that some of the lines may continue! I plan on emailing to let them know there's interest in many or the previously solicited products. "If you have...

I prefer the scale or the DST Muppets both for their ability to fit in with other lines and for shelf space. I have been making lots of customs to build out my DST collection. Now, I'm thinking about switching over to the Palisades scale. Maybe I'll make customs of Lew, Lips, Beauregard, Pops...

I wonder if Boss Fight Studio will be having reveals of new figures soon. I don't think they're usually at SDCC, but I think they often have a livestream event around this time each year where they tease upcoming waves. Is there any chance Doc could be included? Maybe an undersized Gorg? With...

Is Ad Populum on the hook for any of Diamond's debt and the multi-million dollar lawsuit from Alliance Entertainment? If so, I assume a lot of value from the inventory will go to debtors. Or does the purchase price cover all past debts? I continue having trouble understanding the financial...

Sorry, for not posting a link. 'omar-sure' has several comments in the below post that indicate Ad Populum is not interested in DST work. https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigures/s/Sp3PWLAFRj

On this show, one of the hosts, Jesse James, based on his experience in the corporate world and as a comic shop owner, guesses that the closing of DST is just a renaming process to put everything under Ad Populum's control. He makes his brief comments at 5-10 minutes into the show. Since I so...

Do you know the difference between GG Ltd and GG Studio? I just learned they were two separate companies, and GG Studio was not under DST. The product description for the Muppet figures says sculpted by GG Studio. If the figures were sculpted by GG Studio (and not GG Ltd), I think that gives a...

I'm also struggling to see the value for Ad Populum of closing DST and not utilizing any of the licenses. I guess we'll learn more of their plans as time goes on. I've read that Ad Populum just wanted to close a NECA competitor and has no interest in the DST licenses or products. It seem like...

I'm so bummed about this! I feel terrible for Zach and all the employees. I hope they all find new opportunities quickly. No time is good to get laid off, but now seems like a particularly tough time for folks in that industry. Good luck to them! I was really looking forward to many of the...

I just saw this article saying the same. I'm shocked and sad. Good luck to all the affected employees! This sucks. I feel terrible for all the employees affected and wish them luck in finding new employment. I assume this means no new DST products are coming out. What's the business value for...

Ad Populum is NECA's parent company.

Damn. That sucks! Why would Ad Populum pay millions of dollars to purchase Diamond Comic Distributors and DST only to immediately shut both down?

On Instagram, Zach Oat posted that he is no longer with DST. He has been so great sharing info back and forth between fans and DST. I wish him the best in finding his next opportunity. Hopefully his book sales are high. I certainly am enjoying it. Given Zach's prominence with DST, I wondered...

I just saw your Instagram post. I'm so sorry, Zach. I hope you have quick success in finding your next opportunity. Thank you for all you've contributed to the DST discussions here and on other forums. I really appreciated you sharing as openly as you did. Thanks also for helping to get fan...

Thank you and thanks @Justice! I've got him ordered.

Where are y'all seeing Count available? Did I miss him again?

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know! Unfortunately, it showed up as Sold Out a little before and after 9am EDT for me on the Haulathon website and unavailable on the Target App. Maybe it will become available later today?

I wish Blanka and Sagat would hit my PoL soon. I have a bunch of figures I'm waiting to ship once they arrive. Since those two figures have been at Target for a while, I assume the full production runs have been in the US long enough that they missed the tariffs, and the delay is due to the...

I forgot about their Mega Man line. I think Juhn said they are intentionally going slow with that line because they want to make sure sales are high enough before starting production of the next wave. That could just be a cover for them being at maximum production capacity, though. Either way...

I wonder how many figures Jada is currently capable of producing a year and if that will grow. By this time next year, I would love for them to finish their Street Fighter line (5? more figures), release at least 3 more food mascots (Fred and Barney plus one more), and start a Looney Toons line...

Someone on YouTube said they want Jada to make Looney Toon figures since their food mascot figures have turned out well so far. Like food mascots, collecting Looney Toon figures hadn't occurred to me. Now that it was suggested, I'm in! It turns out Jada has already made metal Looney Toon...

When was that? I think it was briefly available last Sunday, for like an hour. I don't know if it sold out that fast and won't be available again, or if it was up by mistake then. I assume it was a mistake, but maybe that was the only opportunity.
