David E.

When will we have a glimpse of the announced Jem and The Holograms collectibles?

DSTChuck: Our first Jem piece is with Hasbro for approval, so we hope to hear something soon.

C. W.

When will we see some more jumbo figures from the Star Wars vintage line that are based on the original Kenner vintage line from 1978-1985?

DSTChuck: We are producing several jumbos per year, but I can’t say who or what at this point.

Tyler F.

Any news on new Nightmare Before Christmas? A possible series 11?

DSTChuck: We are working on some new NBX items but at this point I can’t say for SURE if there will be an action figure Series 11. We’re pretty happy where we are after 10 series, BUT there are characters that could make up a series 11 so…

Wick

Can you re release the delorean?

DSTChuck: Sorry , at this time we are not able to produce more of the lights-and-sounds Delorean.

Dustin B.

Where is Mortal Kombat Scorpion? Is this piece canceled it’s going on 2 years past it’s projected release date

DSTChuck: The Scorpion is on the way from China right now.

Bobby

When are new Marvel Selects going to be announced/released? Will there be any Shang Chi marvel selects coming out?

DSTChuck: I believe we just announced a new figure, and we will announce another one shortly. I am sorry, but at this time we do not have a Shang-Chi in development.

Jeremy J.

Any plans for more Invader Zim figures besides the three upcoming two-packs?

DSTChuck: Right now we are trying to work through production issues on the announced 2packs.

Gabriel C.

Which has a longer process in the making, PVC Gallery/Resin statues or Marvel Select action figures? I ask because recently DST has been releasing more statues than MS action figures.

DSTChuck: I would say the development length of Gallery and action figures is about the same, but action figures are a little longer because of the articulation. Resin statues in general are shorter, because they do not have a steel tool.

Have you guys ever considered Doctor Who for the Select line. That series is crying out for some decent high end 7” figures. I know there’s the 1/6th stuff and 5” stuff done by other companies, but no one has touched the 7” scale. I would love some in scale Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel and LOTR figures in my collection.

DSTChuck: Several years ago we reached to out the BBC and they were not interested, but we do bring it up internally from time to time.
