It’s a new Ask DST, and this week Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant Ltd. president DSTChuck is answering your questions about a whole bunch of topics! Star Wars, Black Hole, Cobra Kai and more are addressed in this installment. Read on for his answers, then submit your own questions at diamondselecttoys.com/ask-dst/!
Francisco L.: I would like to know if you have news about the other figures that make up the Fellowship of the Ring, fair by Diamond Select. All that's left is Merry, Sam, Pippin and Boromir. I don't want to believe Diamond won't complete this set. I'm begging on my knees for information. Thanks!
DSTChuck: Right now, talks are ongoing with Warner Bros. about continuing the line and the direction that would take. We will let everyone know as soon as we have final word.
Chris K.: Are you done with the X-Files?
DSTChuck: Sorry, there are no more X-Files planned at this time.
Dan H.: Will you be able to make Fraggles from Fraggle Rock and a Gorg Garden playset? This would be amazing!
DSTChuck: We do not have the rights to Fraggle Rock products at this time, but it has been discussed, so I would never say never.
Zach H.: Will we be seeing more MCU Minimates for the movies that just recently came out?
DSTChuck: At this time, we do not plan to go backwards with the MCU Minimates, but some sort of set might be possible in the future.
Aaron F.: Any chances of getting a Marvel Select Scarlet Spider (Kaine Parker) or Silk? As much as I love the amount of Peter Parker you guys have added to my collection, I need more spider people! Also are there plans for more Star Wars figures like the Darth Maul and Boba Fett we got?
DSTChuck: I do love some Spidey stuff, so you never know, but the next several Marvel Select figures are not Spidey-related. And the next Star Wars figure is the Stormtrooper, available on shopdisney.com now! More are coming!
Kelly B.: Do you have any plans on releasing more Buffy figures in the future?
DSTChuck: No action figures are in the works, but they have been discussed.
Liam K.: Will we be getting more Marvel Select MCU movie figures this year? Also, will there be any more from Spider-Man: No Way Home?
DSTChuck: The only figure we will be releasing for No Way Home is the Disney exclusive figure.
Mateo: Hello, any chance you could produce valiant comics action figures?
DSTChuck: Sorry, we do not have any planned at this time.
Marshall S.: Any plans on bringing back KITT Knight Rider car for Knight Rider's 40th anniversary?
DSTChuck: Sorry, I do not think so, but never say never.
Odette A.: Any interest / possibility in acquiring the license for the Amazon prime series The Wheel of Time? It’s one of the biggest shows right now and I think you guys would make great select and gallery figures!
DSTChuck: I have heard great things about it, but I have not had time to check it out yet.
