Graham T.: I'm excited to hear you're making more Muppet Select figures! Will you be re-releasing any of the figures not released in the Best of Series, maybe a two-pack of penguins?

DSTChuck: We are glad you are excited! We do have some new figures planned, and yes, we are looking into re-issues of figures that some fans might have missed out on.

Brian R.: So now that you have shown Cobra Kai series 2 curious if we are going to see more ....there are so many characters Miguel, Robby,Tori, Eli , Sam... Mike Barnes....

DSTChuck: Series 3 has not been decided on, and will in part depends on how well Series 2 does.

Kyle A.: Do you have any long-term plans for Pacific Rim action figures beyond the upcoming Gipsy Danger figure?

DSTChuck: Yes, we do have a new idea planned for some Pacific Rim releases. Look for a reveal of the next wave shortly!

Hovik S.: Will you guys be selling any accessory packs for the Lord of the Rings line? Like a pack that includes extra weapons, hands, headsculpt, cloth clothing, effects etc.? Maybe even make it a DST shop exclusive so that we can get the accessories that weren't able to make it for the individual character due to cost

DSTChuck: Right now, there is not one planned, but we have done accessory packs in the past, so it is possible.

Bingsu B.: Will we get more Marvel Select action figures from MCU movies and series? We need Moon Knight, Namor, etc.

DSTChuck: We are planning more MCU Select figures, and hopefully it works out, but at this time we are not expecting to go “backwards.”

Enrique M.: What happened to the last ronin Diorama pvc Figure?

DSTChuck: We had a production delay, but we have since re-solicited it for sale and manufacturing is moving along rapidly.

Careena: Where are all the Nightmare Before Christmas items???

DSTChuck: We hope to announce some new NBX figures and products shortly.

Corey B.: Are you planning to do figures from The Hobbit? I’d love Bilbo, Thorin (all the dwarves really), Azog, Tauriel… the list goes on!

DSTChuck: We do hope to get to do some figures from Hobbit, as long as fans respond to what we are doing – that is the plan. Lots of great stuff out there we can do.

Len B.: Hello, will you be making more figures from the movie "The Black Hole" It would be awesome to give us a humanoid figure, S.T.A.R and Sentry, you could make extra money by just doing a repaint of the sentry figure for S.T.A.R.

DSTChuck: For sure we would like to do more Black Hole figures, we will see what the future holds..

Caesar S.: Why not make action figures of Marvel’s Celestials (Jack Kirby’s style) that would be awesome!!

DSTChuck: Sorry, we do not have plans at this time but never say never.

Chris K.: Love the Lord of the Rings figures. Though is there any plans for busts, gallery type statues further down the line?

DSTChuck: Thanks! And yes, we plan to expand the LotR line in 2023 to include more categories. Look for the first Gallery Diorama to be offered shortly.

Jeff S.: Absolutely love the Marvel Gallery Diorama Statue line, especially the X-Men characters. Can we expect to see some more of their villains such as Sabretooth, Mystique, Magneto etc? Thanks.

DSTChuck: Yes!

Ollie P.: Hello there I am enjoying your LOTR figure line so far and wondered if there is anymore army builder figures planned like the Moria orc and Uruk-Hai? I would love to see some Gondorian and elf army builders!

DSTChuck: The possibility exists for more army builders, but we’ll see.

Nathaniel R.: Have you finished making DC gallery statues? And if so will you be making them again in the future?

DSTChuck: Right now that line is on hold, but we hope to get back at it one day.

Chris C.: I have started to collect your Lord of the Rings figures. Will you be working on a Game of thrones collection or any other fantasy series? The Witcher or The Wheel of Time? Thank you

DSTChuck: I think more fantasy-based products might be in our future!

Jeff S.: What happened to the Mortal Kombat Gallery Diorama Statue line? Raiden, Sub-Zero, Kitana and Scorpion were amazing! Was hoping to see more characters.

DSTChuck: For the time being, we are not working on any MK video game-based figures.

Joseph S.: Will you guys ever produce the retro mego style marvel figures again? Particularly a villain line, I know I’d like to see a Green Goblin one to go with my Spider-Man.

DSTChuck: We do not have any plans for more at this time.

Billy: Seems like everyone is making TMNT action figures... most aren't that good. Any interest in making any TMNT action figures?

DSTChuck: At this time we are not granted the rights to TMNT action figures, but we do have new TMNT products coming soon, including Minimates, D-Formz and PVC Dioramas.
