Have these shipped out yet? I thought I had a preorder, but haven't received any shipping notice. 

Preorders from our old store shipped on Thursday, but since the old store system no longer exists, shipping confirmations were not sent. They should be arriving very soon.

Great news! 
 

Luke, is there a trick to get our old account info to show up in our new account? The new store website looks great by the way.

I'm sorry but the two systems wouldn't allow previous order history to be transferred - only reward points. We do have all old preorders saved, and a bunch of G.I. JOE 2 ones will be shipping out tomorrow morning.

Looks great! Well done!

Possible that a matching Elixir isn't far behind...?

You know what? I have an Elixir face decal that I made 12 years ago. I don't have the parts to release a full Elixir custom, but I am willing to include this face sticker for free with Vanisher. 2 copies in 2 different shades of gold to make sure it can match whatever gold arms people can find. 

Here is the preorder link: https://forms.gle/CPqi6BFryHRpztqy6

I had a request for a pic of him with X-Force, so here you go! 😁

Here is Vanisher!

As I mentioned earlier, Vanisher features his modern X-Force appearance and he includes an alternate tattooed torso. He is a limited edition of 32, and the preorder link was just emailed to past subscribers. I will post the public link here tomorrow.

This really had me going....hence Harris Porter / Dragonclaw .

I even thought it could have been an obscure Marvel villain known as 'T-Bone ' ,a vampire apparently.

T-Bone is a similar steak to a  'porterhouse' steak ......but ...um...vampires don't like stakes .

 

 'The Varnisher'  is a clear winner .

😂

Also, any chance of a Foot Soldier two-pack as our next LTS exclusive??? Would look great on his new site 

That is a great idea - I would have to wait and see what sales were like on this first box set. I LOVE this series and I want it to be a massive success, but an exclusive is a huge financial investment for us, and the previous TMNT series didn't sell well enough to warrant an exclusive, even though this new series is obviously cooler. 

What a cool set! I love the blimp display too. 😁

Series 2 is on my ship list for next week. 😁

I guess I made it too easy! Yep it's Vanisher, who shares the same last name as me. @NerdyTrev guessed it first! 

Vanisher has a modern look based on his Uncanny X-Force appearances, and includes an alternate torso with his fully tattooed chest and back. I expect him to go up for preorder this weekend.

Hmmm. Which villain like bagels?

😂

Thanks guys! Hellstrom is about halfway finished - I am hoping to get him shipped this weekend. Here is a hint for my next custom: I share something in common with this villain.

Did Cyclops ever wear a jacket with this costume? I know an old ToyBiz figure had that combination, but did it show up anywhere else?

I seem to recall he only wore it in the animated series, but never in the comics.

Looks great!

May I ask what fabric you used for the cape piece?

Thanks! The collar is a Lego collar piece, which seems to be made of plastic-coated fabric of some kind.

Here is Hellstrom!  He includes his Netheranium Trident and he is a limited edition of 32. Preorder links were just emailed to past subscribers, and I will post the public preorder link here tomorrow.

So I also originally thought of the inappropriate along racial/ethnic terms.  But now I'm hoping that a bronze age Son of Satan is popular enough to qualify.  By all that's (un)holy, I hope I'm right.

Nailed it! My next release will be Hellstrom (Son of Satan).

I expect him to go up for preorder next week. Leper Queen should ship this weekend. 

No one has guessed him yet.

Here is a hint for my next custom: This Marvel character is quite popular, but might not ever get made by DST, because this character might be considered visually inappropriate by some.

I hope you all had a great Christmas!

I have tallied the votes, and here are the winners of the Customizing Contest! First place goes to Teen Wolf by Dale Mills, 2nd Place is Mileena by Vincent HT, 3rd Place is Devastator by Brian F, and our Random Winner is Howard the Duck by Dan Oulton. Congratulations! I will be reaching out to the winners with their prizes. And thank you to everyone who entered and voted! This contest had a great turnout, and we will be holding another one sometime in the Spring.

You won't need to place a new order through our store if you already have one. We will make additional preorders available once it is resolicited. Fingers crossed that they get enough support from comic shops to get made!
