John R.

Are you bring back the lost in space B9 Robots ?

DSTChuck: Yes, we will be making another production run.

Fill P.

Have you ever considered making gallery dioramas based on the Spider-Man: The Animated Series since you have the license to make busts?

DSTChuck: Right now, we are focused on the bust line, but yes we have thought about Gallery Dioramas. We’ll see how it goes.

Raymond V.

After Purchasing Iroh and Toph Avatar Diorama, do we have any next character in-line? I would love to see Sokka and Suki, to complete the Gang

DSTChuck: Yes we have more in development, including Sokka!

Adam S.

I absolutely love what you’ve been doing with your Lord of the Rings line. I have all the Select figures so far and really looking forward to more! I have two related questions: the new Gimli and the Legolas Gallery statues look GREAT! Looks like you might be building a diorama with these for the Tomb of Balin scene…? If so, will other members of the Fellowship get the Gallery Statue treatment to add in with these for that scene? And my second question has to do with the Balrog! And chance we can get either a Gallery Statue of it or an oversized figure?

DSTChuck: Very glad you like it. Hopefully others like the Gallery line, we’d LOVE to keep it going a very long time. Maybe as time goes on and support grows, we will be able to do the Balrog, the Troll is off to a pretty good start.

James R.

Will there be a Negan made in the walking dead comic series 2? Thanks :)

DSTChuck: Yup! You can pre-order him and a Walker now.

Roy T.

Have you any plans to release the Sentry Robots from Black Hole. Especially S.T.A.R. That would be awesome.

DSTChuck: It has been discussed, but it’s not for sure yet. Keep an eye on our socials.

Andrew T.

I am actually inquiring to find out if you intend to produce a 7" Green Hornet action figure given the Kato figure is currently available.

DSTChuck: We do not have one in the plans right now, but never say never!

Harvey B.

Will there be X-men 97 Minimates ?

DSTChuck: It’s very possible there will be some sort of upcoming X-Men ‘97 animated product release.

Damien G.

When are we getting a Immortal figure he’s pretty popular in the Invincible fandom

DSTChuck: We are still planning upcoming Invincible figures and do not plan to stop anytime soon.

Antonin S.

Hi! Some days ago I saw your project for Witch King of Angmar. Thank you very much for that!! And I wanted you know that many people are wandering if you planned to put cloth on this figure and also, that everyone would welcome this figure with a cloth cape. It would be such an improvement. Thanks for learning my message, hope you’ll have a nice day.

DSTChuck: We will have to see. Glad you like what you have seen so far.

Jaden P.

With the booming popularity of X-Men ‘97 and other Marvel Select 90s X-Men products like Apocalypse, Iceman, and the upcoming Archangel, does DST have any plans to make other, arguably less mainstream characters in the Marvel Select line? I personally would love to see an Onslaught or Shadow King.

DSTChuck: We’re big X-Men fans here, so they are always under consideration.
