Navaan Posted May 24 Posted May 24 30 minutes ago, spidermatt said: I have not bern payin much attention to things happenin. What happened to dst? And what is goin on with future minimate orders? DST was shut down, as a whole, and the entire staff let go. Unfortunately, this includes our own Zach. The new owners, who also own NECA, have not really said what they are going to do with the brands like Gentle Giant, Minimates, etc. It is debated if the product licenses will transfer. In theory, the stuff already pre-ordered could be finished- and they have not been closed down/refunded/cancelled, but we don't know, at this time. Some pre-orders have gone up and active AFTER DST was shut down, so some things are continuing as previously announced, for now. Quote
thereasonsy Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Do we know/think the orders for this will be fulfilled? I’d think that since it was meant for a June release they were in fully in the production process before the bankruptcy. Quote
Padrino Posted June 8 Posted June 8 I had the same question. How long is the production process? This is the set I've been dreaming of and the disappointment is just escalating. I hope they see the light of day somehow. Quote
DSTZach Posted June 10 Posted June 10 I hope so, but unlikely. Production issues across the board stretched back to January. Quote
Barry Posted June 10 Posted June 10 (edited) The parts were never tooled, so I wouldn't wait on them. Here's the designs and key art I created, which I hope are a bit of consolation and not salt in the wound. Edited June 24 by Barry Fixed Images Quote
Trekker 42 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Well that’s depressing news. Clone Saga ended both Marvel Comics and Marvel Minimates. Quote
Padrino Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Goblin Queen's cape, Wolvie's helmet, Magik's helmet and N'Astirh's wings were all part of a series of customs that I was going to be putting together. I even sourced parts in advance for them. The control art is very very welcome though. Thank you for that! Quote

Barry Posted June 24 Posted June 24 I forgot I designed Cyclops originally, but replaced him with Wolverine since he had a more story-specific look. Quote
nandoninny Posted June 24 Posted June 24 one more year of minimates would have given us soooooo damn much. but we're greedy, then we'd be upset about what we didn't get the next year. but damn.......... Quote
thereasonsy Posted June 25 Posted June 25 @Barry, beautiful as always. Also glad you made the switch as Dark Wolvie would have been epic. Quote
