AskDST #471 - Power Rangers, Lord of the Rings, House of the Dragon & More!

It’s a new Ask DST, and this time it’s all about… everything! From the Matrix to the Lord of the Rings, from Power Rangers to Pirates of the Caribbean, it’s all here! Read on to see if your question was answered by president DSTChuck, and then go and submit a new one!

Nick D.

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!

Derek J.

What happened with Sonic the Hedgehog products? I can't see any in your store and I was wondering if you were going to make more for the upcoming Sonic the Movie 3. I love your diorama from the 1st movie.

DSTChuck: Sorry, for the time being we are not producing Sonic game or movie related products.

Kody B.

I have been a huge fan of The Matrix franchise since the first film and was thrilled to hear you've acquired the license to produce merchandise. Are there any plans to make articulated 'Select' versions of the figures from the movies? I feel you'd do an amazing job.

DSTChuck: We have had several internal discussions and discussions with sales about action figures, so I think there is a chance.

Chris C.

Will be seeing any of the larger scaled characters from the Marvel Skottie Young animated style line such as Galactus, and Sentinals or even a HulkBuster?

DSTChuck: We have not as of yet discussed those.

Angel S.

Is it possible that you might do products based on more Power Rangers TV seasons? Such as Wild Force, Zeo, SPD, Lost Galaxy. There are many Ranger teams to choose and Ranger fans are really tired of never seeing other teams represented on licensed product lines. Is it possible that it might change for DST in the future? Maybe Alien Rangers Minimates, Time Force Gallery Dioramas, SPD busts.

DSTChuck: I think we’re still working on getting the current teams finished up, but other ideas have been discussed.

Jaden M.

I was also wondering if there are any plans for a bilbo baggins figure from the hobbit trilogy, the older one looks really well-done. I think a younger one would be really cool to have on the shelf as well, especially one with a blue coat since the bridge direct never made one from what I know.

DSTChuck: We do plan on doing some figures from the Hobbit movies.

Gerard R.

Is there going to be a Wave 3 of Cobra Kai action figures?

DSTChuck: We are not sure at the moment.

Sarah J.

Will there be any more Dragon busts? From House of the dragon? Thank you

DSTChuck: If the first two sell well enough we would love to do more.

Johnny W.

Will you be adding more monsters to the monsterverse gallery line? Like mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah..

DSTChuck: We are planning on more Godzilla products from the classic and new movies, so we’ll have to see.
