AskDST #647 - Marvel, The Lord of the Rings, AEW, Gargoyles, and more!

Hey there collectors, Diamond Select Toys president DSTChuck answers your burning questions once again! In this episode of Ask DST, find out what's coming in Marvel, The Lord of the RIngs, AEW, Gargoyles, and more!

Melissa S.

Having seen your new Lord of the Rings statues, I wanted to inquire if you planned on making Arwen or Eowyn. For some reason, they tend to be left out of the statue runs (or they’re thousands of dollars). I have so many statues from your company because your prices are fair and your statues are of great quality. So I am hoping that you will include the women so often left out of the lineup. Thank you and have a great day.

DSTChuck: What I can say is that LotR is doing well, in some cases better than we thought. So as long as sales are there, we’ll keep going deeper into the lines.

Chris K.

Have you ever tried to acquire the license for James Bond? Surely thats a franchise ripe for Selects or statues!

DSTChuck: I LOVE James Bond, and we have discussed it before, but ran into some complication as related to likeness rights.

Kyle T.

Any chance we will have WWE charcaters also on top of AEW? So far there is limited merchandise beyond action figures.

DSTChuck: We are going to stick to just AEW right now, there is so much more we can do with their talent.

Ron R.

Wii there be more Gargoyles statues joining the amazing upcoming Goliath?

DSTChuck: I really hope so!

Tyler F.

What is the future of DST and The Nightmare Before Christmas?

DSTChuck: We are trying to come up with characters for a series 11 of figures and some new designs for the Gallery line, at the moment.

Aaron D.

Are there plans to release any more lord of the rings figs after Mary and pippin , absolutely love the line , don’t suppose any chance of a balrog ?

DSTChuck: Yes, Eowyn and Witch-King are next, and more have been discussed. We have looked at a Balrog, but in any format it’s VERY expensive, so not sure how practical it would be.

David D.

Hi !! My question is if the company plans on making action figures based on The Hobbit movies, like you are the lord of the rings? I love both movie franchises and they go together so having the Hobbit figures is a must for me and I’m sure many other collectors and TLOTR and Hobbit lovers. Thanks in advance :)

DSTChuck: Yes, we have plans for figures from the Hobbit movies.

Philip B.

Will there be any more Mortal Kombat figure from you? I own all the ones released so far, but I would love to see more.

DSTChuck: For the time being, we do not have plans for more MK game Gallery pieces.

Braulio A.

Are marvel select for new Deadpool and Wolverine movie possible. You guys made one for The Wolverine and that is such a great figure.

DSTChuck: Yes, that is possible.

Kevin M.

Is there any interest in making a Kang statue? This would be a Marvel comics version, not the MCU version. Little has been made for Kang statues in the scale that DST makes, yet Kang is an important Avengers villain. Thank you.

DSTChuck: I agree he is a great Avengers adversary, currently we do not have plans for one this year, but I would think it would make sense at some point in the future.
