I reached out to my Diamond rep, but he didn't have any additional information that wasn't already in the press release. Diamond Select Toys might get sold, or it might stay with the company if they can't find a buyer.

Amen seconded! Praying for them and their families.

Hopefully they have more info than we do even if they cannot share it.

+100 

Hoping for the best for you & the team Zach.

Yikes! Having met a lot of the team at cons, and remembering what happened to my friends when TRU filed, I really hope that this is not the end for the team. Even if things go smoothly during this process, I know the uncertainty can really be stressful. I wish Zach et al. and all their families the best in this transition.

Yikes! My first thought went to Zach and the gang. I know DST is a smaller part of the overall Diamond business but losing them would be a real detriment to the community and a lot of good product and properties. Hoping DST survives, everyone keeps their jobs and Minimates live on!

I'm following 'BleedingCool' & I'm merely quoting :

" .......Something that previously hasn't previously been specified is that Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles LLC has also declared bankruptcy..."

I admit fear but I'll try to remain hopeful. And maybe DST can spin off into its own thing at the worse. Boss Fight Studios, Action Force, Four Horseman, all start working elsewhere and as other things and companies.

My biggest hope is IF Diamond struggles to recover, that DST gets picked up by a bigger company, whether it Hasbro or Jazzwares or McFarlane or whomever and that no one loses their job.

That you would be willing to buy DST? Get European sales and all the cases you would want!

I imagine bhm being a secret millionaire and buying up DST would be the best thing ever for Minimates.

But Zach's head would explode in the first month. LOL

Best of luck to the staff at DST and the Minimates brand. I hope it works out that both can thrive going forward.

Everybody here hopes that .   

 

Unfortunately for me I have a bit more knowledge of 'Corporate Bankruptcy' than I'd like & very few people involved come out the other end unscathed .

God, I just caught this news. This is BAD.

Minimates have been a staple of my life since I was eight years old. They're among my favorite collectibles. To see them potentially at risk of being discontinued like this is heartbreaking for me.

As well, I feel bad for the employees of Diamond who are also facing the potential loss of their jobs over this. I can't begin to imagine how anxious they all probably are about this, nor do I blame them at all for it.

This is a shitty situation for everybody involved, employees and fans. Nobody is going to win here.

Guys, we might really be facing the end of the road for our favorite common collectables. I know the saying "nothing good lasts forever," but god damn. I never thought I'd see it happen. At least, not within my lifetime.

We wouldn't need to wish them well if a good outcome was already certain. :)

I trust Todd to do the line justice as far as I can throw him.

I have no love for Hasbro as a company, but I feel more inclined to trust them with Diamond's I.P.s than Todd.

Jazzwares, I'm unfamiliar with outside their Halo stuff. So, I can't comment much.

I hope everyone lands on their feet. I feel like a heel for even thinking about the product at a time like this.  Its hard because these lil guys have been a hobby/obsession of mine for the past 20 years. I hope we get at least what has been solicited so far and I hope there is a future ahead for everyone involved.

Thanks guys. Not much info, but I appreciate the kind words. 

I know that there’s probably not much we can do, but if there’s anything we can do to help out you guys at least, let us know.
