Posted by DSTZach on Nov 18th 2024
It’s a new Ask DST, and this time it’s all about… everything! From House of the Dragon to The Black Hole, from Avatar to Invincible, from Nightmare Before Christmas to Star Wars, it’s all here! Read on to see if your question was answered by president DSTChuck, and then go and submit a new one!

Hi I just wanted to ask are there plans to make more house of the dragon action figures like are you guys going to make one for Jacaerys Velaryon and aegon Targaryen
DSTChuck: Yes, we have more HotD figures in development!

I saw that it was recently asked if DST would be doing more figures for “The Black Hole” and it was answered that it’s a possibility. Would any of the human characters be a possibility for inclusion in further offerings? Also are there any plans to revisit “Tron” offerings? I would be very interested in getting a figure of Yori, RAM and Clue as well as Sark’s Warriors. A light and sound Light-Cycle for 7” scaled figures would also be incredible! Both sequels would no doubt provide plenty of source to draw from for subsequent waves as well. Are “Tron” and “The Black Hole” still open for potential new DST releases?
DSTChuck: Black Hole humans would not be at the top of our maybe list, sorry.

What happen to your avatar line? Are we going to see more Diorama and figures anytime soon?
DSTChuck: Yes, we are developing new Avatar products. The Sokka Gallery Diorama is up for pre-order right now!

What is the possibility of doing Gargoyle action figures?
DSTChuck: I am sorry to say, I think it is less than 50%.

Are there any plans for more Invincible figures?
DSTChuck: Yes, we have just started to develop Series 5!

When, if ever, will you release more 7-inch scale Star Wars action figures? I invested heavily in these when you first started producing them, and I bought every figure you made - Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Chewbacca, and about 50 of the Storm Troopers in anticipation of having a whole 7 inch scale line of classic Star Wars Characters someday. The last figure I know of being released was Chewbacca and I think that was in 2022. I've been trying to be patient because I know licensing can be tricky at the best of times, but I'm beginning to worry that this line has been quietly discontinued. Can you please tell me what's going on with this line?
DSTChuck: We did that line for and in partnership with Disney, so it’s up to them if they would like the line to continue. We certainly would love to keep going.

Hi there! You mentioned during a recent Q&A that you’re trying to get a new wave of TNBC action figures made. Is there any update that you can share? Would love to have the final missing Halloweentown residents! (Crow Gatekeeper, Old Hag with apple, Grim Reeper, Frankenstein)
DSTChuck: The sculpts are in the final stages, so hopefully we will have news soon. Most of Series 11 is made up of characters we have not done yet.

Are there any plans to release more figures in the Pirates of the Caribbean line to go with Jack Sparrow?
DSTChuck: We did develop a couple other figures, but the response for retail buyers was not sufficient to go forward. But never say never!
