Hello! I see tons of companies announcing there Wolverine statues/dioramas from the new Deadpool Wolverine movie. Is there any possible chance you guys will be making one and announcing it any time soon? I much rather pre order one from Diamond Select since that is what i collect. Thank you!
DSTChuck: Yes, we have a wide selection of DP3 product planned.

Hi, are there any action figure plans for the movie Deadpool&Wolverine? The figure for Wolverine2 was amazing, but we really need one more in the classic yellow costume, plz!
DSTChuck: We are working on it! Sorry for the delays.
Micah U.
Love your products! I’m curious if there’s any chance of more Knight Rider merchandise? I loved the line you guys did back in 2012-2013
DSTChuck: Right now, we do not have any plans. Sorry.
Braden G.
now that we got series 2 aemond targaryen, will there be a statue of him too to go along with rhaenyra and daemon?
DSTChuck: We are still relatively early in our planning for HotD with season 2 recently completing.
Andrew G.
Are you making any more Jean Claude Van Damme figures after the blue gi outfit from bloodsport? Because I was checking out pictures of Sdcc 2024 at your booth, and you didn’t have any more Jean Claude Van Damme figures there. All you had was game of thrones, lord of the rings, etc. and statues of John wick. So seriously what’s going on with Jean Claude Van Damme? Are you done with it or will you keep going with it?
DSTChuck: We would LOVE to do more JCVD products, we will just have to see what the future holds.
Gerard R.
Now that this is the final season of Cobra Kai, is DST planning to make a Mike Barnes action figure?
DSTChuck: It has certainly been discussed, we’ll have to see.

I recently came across your Eowyn Series 8 Action Figure that will be released early 2025. She looks incredible, and someone clearly put the time to have her action figure look so good. I am also a fan of the character Arwen, and I would love to display both her and Eowyn in my own home. I wanted to ask if your company has any plans to make a similar product of Arwen in the future?
DSTChuck: We do have more LotR coming and if the sales remain strong pretty much anything is possible.
Filly O.
Any chance of Fantastic Four pieces in Gallery Diorama format any time soon?
DSTChuck: I am not sure right now what our plan are for comic or MCU Fantastic Four, but we should know pretty soon, as more movie information comes our way.

Is there a possibility for a new marvel select venom figure for venom the last dance? I feel like it’s time for a new updated version of venom and this would be the perfect opportunity since all your venom figures have had really good accessories and we have been kind of missing movie marvel figures from you guys. And especially with the talent of your recent marvel select figures you guys been putting out we would love it!!!. Thank you.
DSTChuck: Right now we do not have products planned for Venom 3 but we’ll have to see.

What can we expect to see in the way of Muppet releases going forward? Is the line doing as hoped or will we only continue seeing one or two releases a year. Any plans for movie based figures like ‘Muppets Treasure Island’ or ‘Muppets Christmas Carol’? Even a Muppet Babies set would be fantastic. So many characters to get to.
DSTChuck: So far there has been sufficient support for Muppets to allow for one release at a time , so maybe three a year. We’re not sure if we will do a few more Muppet Show characters or start to mix in the movies, we’re split here on which direction to go.
Chris J.
Will there be any Buffy the vampire slayer figures released for the 30th anniversary? As its round the corner. It would be brilliant even if we got the Cancelled wave/ lines. As in the Build a figure wave to assemble the Judge and the two Faith and Giles variants that were set to release next but sadly didn't.
DSTChuck: Sadly, right now, we do not have any Buffy products in the works.
Vince M.
Are there any other busts in the Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon universe planned after Caraxes and Drogon?
DSTChuck: After watching HotD season two, it seems there are plenty to pick from, so we’ll see how these first two are received and hopefully go from there.
Angel S.
Is it possible that you might do products based on different Power Rangers teams in the future?
DSTChuck: The Power Rangers line is doing OK, and if sales continue to grow, I think we would look at expanding out.
Saroop S.
What are the plans for the upcoming MCU legends in 3d busts? Line is amazing but feels incomplete without main characters such as Captain America, Thor, Spidey etc...
DSTChuck: Several of the one you list and others are in the planning stages.
Harvey B.
Will the marvel Minimates go back to the classic 2 pack series or will it continue to be boxed sets ?
DSTChuck: For now, they are going to continue as box sets, but for sure we will try and mix in 2-packs when it makes sense.
