It looks like Count is not available on the Target site this week either. I've heard next week is the last week of Haulathon. Maybe it will be available next Friday. I'll be checking hourly every waking hour just to make sure. Supposedly, he will be available at other online retailers later, at...

Zach, awesome job on this book! My son and I had a lot of fun looking through it when it arrived last week. It is really interesting to read about how you created each shot and the thoughts behind them. Very cool book!

I really hope the line continues, too! I doubt Eowyn and the Witch King will be coming out any time soon though, given that the bankruptcy purchase isn't even finalized yet. Maybe they somehow went into production, but I doubt it. I'm guessing they'll be out this fall. I'd definitely all the...

Since Tony has been available at Target for a few weeks, I assume the shipment has been in the US before the tariffs kicked in. Is anyone else excited to have a cereal mascots figure collection? I wasn't initially planning to get any, but the idea of having a bunch of silly, colorful characters...

Does anyone have a guess how things will work out with Ad Populum soon owning NECA and Diamond Select Toys? Do people think they'll keep the companies separate or combine them? I assume they'll be some level of layoffs for DST and maybe NECA. Any guesses on how extensive? I'm fairly new to...

Popeye's hair is orange in the original Segar comics these figures are based on. I agree though, the hair makes his hat sit funny and fall off easily. They improved how hats attach in the most recent wave. I was not a big Popeye fan before these figures came out, but I've always liked the...

I hope it actually goes through! I was surprised the court approved it so quickly after the Alliance purchase fell through. I assume Alliance will continue to fight, since it seems like they are still interested in making the purchase. I read somewhere that the sale is supposed to be finalized...

Wow, the Diamond bankruptcy is really ugly. I feel so bad for all the employees. The debtors filed for the bankruptcy to change from ch. 11 to ch. 7 liquidation. Although, it seems like AENT is still open to purchasing them, even though they claim Diamond withheld information about Wizards of...

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...
