DST Stargate Atlantis Figures

[HirogenGater]

I thought it might be a good idea to create a thread where we can all discuss this line. The first wave will be,
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard,
Dr. Elizabeth Weir,
and a Wraith Male.
A limited Field Ops Dr. Weir will also be included, as well as a Diamond Previews exclusive Field Ops Sheppard.

I don't plan on buying every variant in this line like SG-1, but I won't make any decisions until I see photos of the final product. It will be difficult for me to get single figures since there are no stores around me feel that stocking Stargate figures is necessary. :mad:

I am looking forward to having the Atlantis team on display with SG-1.

[jmw326]

Just like SG1 I will be buying the full sets of SGA most likely from Newforce. I hope that we see some pics of these at Toyfare in FEB.

As I recall, DST did say that our first look at the Atlantis figures would be at the Toy Fair. Plus (sorry to change the topic) I'm wondering if DST will show off SG-1 wave 4 alongside the new Atlantis figures?!

[Roddy_McKay]

I was wondering,

Are the uniforms of Atlantis BLUE or Grey? It seems to be hard to tell sometimes. The reason I was wondering is what color will DST make them. I also wonder if the gate glyphs are going to be molded in or just painted, since they dont really stick out of the gate. Also, is the Atlantian gate (edges) silver or gold? I cant really tell which color it is either.

[Jedigreedo]

They're grey Dickies clothes, you can even buy them at wal-mart. :D

Except the jacket of course, the color panels are custom.

[Roddy_McKay]

They look blue in some light though (I'm not really aguing because I am including a pic that shows they look grey.) However, I wish they would make the figures in bluish uniforms. Thanks for comparison pics from www.thescifiworld.net

What about the gate? Is it gold?

[HirogenGater]

Just like SG1 I will be buying the full sets of SGA most likely from Newforce. I hope that we see some pics of these at Toyfare in FEB.

I will probably end up buying the wave sets from Newforce, it is the best deal per figure.

[gate this]

I can't wait for the next toyfare or con.
I hope we get to see S1 of the atlantis figures and info on wave 2, I'm hopeing for Rodney/ Ford/ Hive queen with an exclusive 1/2 wraith ford.
I'm guessing Sheppard and Elizabeth will come with a gate piece each and the wraith will come with 1/2 the atlantis floor.

What I would like to see in this line is some coloured picture gels of the event horizon and iris that can be stuck on the back of the gate.
I think that would be a nice little inexpensive extra with a certain wave.;)

[jmw326]

I think a more likely line up for series 2 wold be Rodney and Teyla or Rodney and Ronin with a new Wraith. I don't see them doing a ford figure untill after they get the current team done.

[knightone]

Maybe we'll see him in wave 3.

[nekoi]

I made a thread for SGA figures awhile back.. did it vanish? o_o

[HirogenGater]

I think a more likely line up for series 2 wold be Rodney and Teyla or Rodney and Ronin with a new Wraith. I don't see them doing a ford figure untill after they get the current team done.

I really hope SGA Wave 2 will be Rodnet, Teyla and Ronin. That will give us the current team and save Ford for Wave 3.

[HirogenGater]

With all the trouble with the SG-1 figures I am worried about this line. Will Ford come with a gun or a vest? Who knows at this point.

[HirogenGater]

JediGreedo posted in the DST SG-1 thread pics of the new Atlantis figures!
Check 'em out!

Lookin' good IMO. The likeness of these look much better than the SG-1. (I wonder why?)

[Gen. O'Neill]

these atlantis figures are very cool, it weird that the regular weir and sheppard figures are no different than the field ops version (at least sheppard is the same colors). the only thing that bothers me is two things: one, weir face looks off like she really old or sleepy and the gate looks cool but from the pic it lokks small, very small compared to the sg-1 gate. hopefuly they will fix that. so far i can't wait to preorder these very soon. :jack: :sheppard:

[nekoi]

I actually like the way Weir's face looks... I was afraid of it looking WAAY too weird, but for a prototype, I must say I'm impressed.

The only thing that bothers me is how BLAND the stand looks. Seriously, it looks blank and uninteresting.

[Elite Anubis Guard]

[Calhoun]

I agree; I'm impressed by what we've seen of the Atlantis figures. I don't know if the DST sculptors are getting better, or if they used a new technique for getting the likenesses (didn't somebody say a while ago that the Atlantis cast had their faces scanned for the figures?)

I must admit, I was disappointed not to get McKay in the first wave, but Weir more than makes up for it (both "regular" Weir and "Field Ops" Weir look cool). Of course, I'm not sure if "Field Ops" means the Weir in her red civilian shirt and tac vest, or the Weir in her full Expedition uniform, but it doesn't really matter. :)

[Roddy_McKay]

Have you noticed though, there is no articulation? The arms and legs are solid. The detail makes up for this though - even their shoes are super detailed! Also, from the pics it looks like the gate is in two pieces, but it is separate from the platform (note the crack between the gate and the base behind shepard, left of field ops weir). This probably means the platform is going to be different.

[knightone]

The initial prototypes for the SG1 figures didn't have articulation either. It's added to later prototypes later in the process. So it's nothing to be concerned about.

[Gen. O'Neill]

Of course, I'm not sure if "Field Ops" means the Weir in her red civilian shirt and tac vest, or the Weir in her full Expedition uniform, but it doesn't really matter. :) I think the field ops is the one in the red shirt and vest since she is base on the episode "long good bye". as for sheppard i really don't get the whole point of have two of the same colored sheppards, the only difference i see is that the "regular" sheppard has no vest and his jacket is open while the "field ops" has a vest and the jacket is close so what why make to of the same? if the "regular" sheppard or the "field ops" had a different color then it would make sense. all well, all i know is i am getting the "regular" wier and the "field ops" sheppard, and i still hope they fix the gate; because again it looks too small because of the missing bottom piece, so im hoping they make it bigger to make up for the missing piece. :jack: :sheppard:

[Calhoun]

I agree, the two Sheppards look too much alike, but I think one is going to be an exclusive for some of the retailers (I think the Forbidden Planet International website is listing an "exclusive" Field Ops Sheppard).

And as for the Atlantis gate looking too small... I just hope DST release a better base, something to raise it up to the same level as the SG-1 gate. The two stargates are the same size, as near as I can tell, the Atlantis gate is just lower thanks to the missing piece at the bottom.

[Jedigreedo]

as for sheppard i really don't get the whole point of have two of the same colored sheppards, the only difference i see is that the "regular" sheppard has no vest and his jacket is open while the "field ops" has a vest and the jacket is close so what why make to of the same?

Personally I prefer having the two versions for casual and geared up. Really though, I think the arms should be replaceable so they could include a set of bare arms with t-shirt sleeves and the jacket portion could be removed when replacing the arms. That way you could switch between open jacket or t-shirt versions. This is how it should have been done with SG-1.

[knightone]

Agreed about the interchangeable arms. They should have made them like the deluxe Buffy figures.

One of the Sheppards is going to be an exclusive and one of the Weirs is going to be the chase figure for the core assortment, so it's not that big of a deal.

[knightone]

What exactly is the difference between a Wraith grunt and a Wraith male or female?

[Jedigreedo]

Didn't know you posted the question here too, would've just replied here instead of in a PM. But in case anyone else is wondering, here's my explanation:

Really I don't know if they're referred to as Grunts, but that's all they seem to be. They're the ones that have the thing covering their face that looks like a giant brain, we only ever see them for battle situations as they're usually just cannon-fodder.

The Wraith males are the ones we commonly see.

The females control the hives and...they have lady-parts.

[SnowWhiteLeigh]

Hmm, is it just me or does Sheppard look like a long lost Baldwin brother? Can't wait till they hit our shores :D

[knightone]

Thanks for the replies, Jedigreedo. Much appreciated. :D

[skeezix]

Am I the only one that loves the smirk on the Field Ops Sheppard? I saw it and busted out laughing.

[gate this]

Hi
I don't think anyone else has posted this yet but here is what actionfigs.com have to say about the new figures

Why settle with one Stargate when you can have two?

Make room next to your SG-1 figures, Stargate: Atlantis is on its way. Diamond Select provided a first look at series one of the highly-anticipated Stargate: Atlantis figures at this year’s Toy Fair International. Fans that already have a fully assembled Stargate from series one and two of SG-1 will be happy with the all new Atlantis ‘build-a-gate’. Each figure from Atlantis series one and two will include a piece to either the Atlantis gate or the base it sits on. The Atlantis gate is a new sculpt and will be two sided, allowing for easier display.


Stargate: Atlantis Series 1 includes:
Lt. Col. John Sheppard (plus variant)
Dr. Elizabeth Weir (plus variant)
Wraith (includes weapon from ancient chair-device)
As with Diamond’s SG-1 series, all figures and accessories are being sculpted by Jean St. Jean Studios. Stargate: Atlantis series one is due in stores this September.

sounds good looks like the base they had was just a quick mock up, thank God!

[Willow'sCat]

Am I the only one that loves the smirk on the Field Ops Sheppard? I saw it and busted out laughing.
Oh I loved that! :P Of course I would only buy it for one reason and it has nothing to do with why most people will buy them. :o :P

I am kind of dreading the McKay one when it is *eventually* released, the pewter one was so not McKay (Even DH had to admit that it looked nothing like him) but once I have them both that ends my purchasing of SGA figures. :sheppard: :mckayanime03:

How tall are they? :cool:

[knightone]

How tall are they? :cool:


7" is the average height.

[GateByte]

Am I the only one that loves the smirk on the Field Ops Sheppard? I saw it and busted out laughing.
I couldn't help but laugh at the smirk either! I love it! :)

Can't wait till these get released.

[Roddy_McKay]

Oh My Goodness! I just watched SGA Vengeance! (For the connection to SGA figures please see spoiler...)

I cant wait to get my SGA figures so I can make a diorama along with my Aliens Figures!! ROAR!

[HirogenGater]

I think the field ops is the one in the red shirt and vest since she is base on the episode "long good bye". as for sheppard i really don't get the whole point of have two of the same colored sheppards, the only difference i see is that the "regular" sheppard has no vest and his jacket is open while the "field ops" has a vest and the jacket is close so what why make to of the same? if the "regular" sheppard or the "field ops" had a different color then it would make sense. all well, all i know is i am getting the "regular" wier and the "field ops" sheppard, and i still hope they fix the gate; because again it looks too small because of the missing bottom piece, so im hoping they make it bigger to make up for the missing piece. :jack: :sheppard:

Yes, the two Sheppards look too similar.

[Calhoun]

Mild season 4 casting spoiler:
Given that Carter is joining the Atlantis cast next season, do you think we can expect a Carter figure in the SGA line? DST has already created two different Carter heads (one for the regular SG-1 figure, and a cap-less version for RepliCarter), so they would just need to create (or re-use) a female body wearing the Atlantis uniform.
Do you think we can expect this in a future wave?

[jmw326]

If not I think A Weir/ replicarter head swap may be in order.

[knightone]

That would actually make a good mail-away figure for the Atlantis line.

[nekoi]

Makes you wonder what uniform she will wear? (for all we know, she could be just wearing her formal military uniform)... but anyways, I think that would be an awesome idea for a mail away figure... or at least a Wraith Queen or a random Wraith minion.

Good idea. :D

[jmw326]

I just wanted to let you all know that we do a Q&A over at trektoy.com and I slipped in a couple of questions about SG1 and found out a couple of things for you.

1. Black Ops Jackson and Col. Mitchell are both going to have the same legs as series one (no hinged knees).

2. The Atlantis gate will not be a complete circle. It will stop at the base.

[Gen. O'Neill]

Man that sucks you think dst would have at least make new legs with knee joint, damn im mad :mad:. as for the atlantis gate i was not suprise about that, thanks for the heads up. :jack:

[Gen. O'Neill]

Hey guys just to let you know that cornerstorecomics.com has the atlantis figures for pre-order rght now, check it out. i have already pre-order dr. weir, col. sheppard, and field ops. sheppard. :jack: :sheppard:

edit: here is a quick link to the site:
cornerstorecomics.com/af_stargate_atlantis.html

[Roddy_McKay]

Woah! Here are some things I have noticed:

1) Exclusive Weir is now wearing black clothes

2) Previews Exclusive Sheppard is now wearing a grey uniform (not blue)

3) Arrival is August/Sept 2007

Comments:

They are also available here:

www.bigbadtoystore.com (search Stargate)

We STILL do not know what their accessories are...

The gate still looks Awesome.

Thanks for the heads up!

[nekoi]

Black Ops Weir? :weir: That's a change.. o__o

I like it, but I don't remember Weir having a black Ops outfit. lol

[Platschu]

The Atlantis gate is too small next to the people. :S

Breaking News! - Diamond Select Have posted the following on their website:


Free Stargate Atlantis Figures From DST!

With our third assortment of Stargate SG-1 figures shipping soon and the debut wave of Stargate Atlantis figures currently in development, DST is ready to announce the first promotion involving the next successful Stargate series. Available as a limited promotional figure, the fan-favorite “Steve the Wraith” action figure will be distributed this fall as a free action figure from DST!

As with the previously released Elite Serpent Guard offer, Steve the Wraith will be available to customers who complete a mail-in form located inside the Stargate Atlantis wave’s packaging and send four proofs of purchase to DST. This exclusive repainted Wraith will be limited, making this a must-have action figure for any Stargate fan.

In addition to this special offer, the first two waves of Stargate Atlantis action figures will also include pieces of the Atlantis gate itself which can be assembled into a figure-sized Stargate perfect for any display. Details concerning these offers will be revealed as the assortment’s fall release date approaches.

[nekoi]

YAAAAAY!!!! :D

That is good news. I can't wait to see how it looks!

[Roddy_McKay]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[jmw326]

YAAAAAY!!!! :D

That is good news. I can't wait to see how it looks!

They have a picture up at the DST website.

[HirogenGater]

Glad to hear they did this again for Atlantis.

[nekoi]

They have a picture up at the DST website.

Lol Yeah, I just saw that. XDDD *dumb*

[Jedigreedo]

Hmm, could be a problem for me. I get 2 of each figure, 1 to keep carded and 1 to open. Since Atlantis series 1 doesn't really have any headswapping opportunities within itself I won't need to buy any extras (unless theres headswap possibilities for a figure in series 2) so I'll only have 5 UPCs. If Steve requires 4 UPCs like the Elite Serpent Guard, I'm going to have to hope Series 2 will be part of the promotion too so I can get a second one.

Of course, since people probably won't be sending in for it in the volume of the Elite Serpent Guards since it's not much of an army builder, if it's not more limited then it should be around.

It's an awesome looking figure, but now I'm going to be nervous until they announce series 2. :p

[Wlykyoti]

Just a heads up--the Atlantis figures are listed in this months Diamond Previews.
They list them as scheduled to ship in August. So don't forget to have your retailers order for you.

What are the Diamond Previews? Did it give any more info on their accessories or the gate? If there are pics can you scan them?

[jmw326]

Newforce now has Series one of Atlantis up for preorder.

[JonasRocks]

Thanks for the info. Looks like the price has gone up a bit from previous sets, but it's still a much better deal than retail.

[HirogenGater]

Got my preorder in.

What I would like to see,
Wave 2
McKay
Teyla
Ronin
Wraith Soldier

Wave 3
Ford
Beckett
Human form Replicator

[knightone]

What are the Diamond Previews?


Diamond Previews is the monthly magazine/catalog for DST's sister company, Diamond Comics Distribution.

Also of note, when a figure is listed as a "Previews Exclusive", it is a figure picked up by DCD as an exclusive rather than a retailer like New Force. Even though it is run by different people, it is owned by the same company. So, for all intents and purposes, it is like an in-house exclusive. That's why Previews exclusives are available to anyone who orders the core releases of a line and why they can be included in the special cases like the ones New Force sells with all five figures.

[prion]

Here is a look at the first series of Diamond Select Toys' Stargate Atlantis
figures. Included in this wave are Colonel Sheppard, Black Ops Weir (Chase
Figure), Dr. Elizabeth Weir, and Male Wraith. There is also a Previews Exclusive
Blacks Ops Sheppard figure. Each figure comes with a piece of the figure-sized
Atlantis-style Stargate! Look for these to be released in August 2007.

Has two pictures - Shep and two Weirs and a Wraith and a larger Black Ops Shep

What is a "chase" figure?:weir:

[knightone]

What is a "chase" figure?:weir:

A chase figure usually means a limited figure that is included in a regular case. Usually it is either a repaint or variant of one of the regular figures. For example with the Stargate line, the regular cases contain three of each figure except the chase, which is packed only one per case.

This, of course, does not apply to the special cases being sold by New Force Comics and a couple of other retailers which has two of every figure. But regular retail cases are packed with three of each core figure and one chase.

It can also be called a short pack.

News Update Folks!

I was in Forbidden Planet Bristol on Friday, and flicked through the latest copy of the Stargate Magazine. According to info I remember reading, the Atlantis gate will be even more detailed than the SGC gate that comes with SG1. Apparently the gate will be detailed on both sides, and like the Earth gate, have four pieces, 2 with wave 1 figures (I assume Col Sheppard and Dr Weir) and the other two in wave 2. - The wraith comes with the base. (I am uncertain how this works, I was in a hurry, so it was not clear if the base is also in two bits or not, meaning two figures, like the Serpent guard and Thor for SG1.)

According to the DST description for the SG-A figures, the Atlantis gate comes in six pieces altogether, so I assume the base will be in two pieces (just like the SG-1 gate ramp).

Glad to hear the Atlantis gate will be decorated on both sides; this will make it better for displays.

Indeed, while it is too bad that we aren't getting a full Atlantis gate (maybe an offworld display) the gate does look nice.

Gaah! Now I am totally confused. Help! The gate we saw at the Toyfair is in 4 pieces: 1/2 of gate with Shep, 1/2 gate with Weir, and the second wave with two pieces of the base/ramp. Now it is going to be a full gate (4 gate pieces) with 2 other ramp pieces? Are we sure? Pictures? I was just warming up to the idea of a perminanly attached gate to the floor too. Oh well, I will take anything I can get as long as they use the translucent blue that we saw in the fair. That was awesome! Anyway, maybe they are using the two piece gate we saw at the fair and going to have 2 other smaller pieces that make a full gate. That way you can choose between space gate and gate attached to the floor.

In any case, are they going to fix the problem of the glyphs not lining up with the Chevrons? Either way, as long as we get the Atlantis gate with translucent blue I will be satisfied.

[LoneReconEagle]

When the SG-1 Gate appeared at ToyFair, it was in the same state. It has been confirmed, from inside sources at DST and with large toy retailers, that the gate will be in four pieces and will have atleast two pieces for the floor. However, you should note that the bottom portion of the Atlantis Gate will be hidden as they chose to have a floor display base. But it will be blue and two sided.

As for being correct, Marketing from DST has assured me that they got this Gate correct. The R&D team couldnt provide an answer as to why there were so many screwups on the Earth Gate (Earth glyph wrong, three glyphs out of sequence, and five mysterious glyphs matching no know planets).

To those who are fed up that the Atlantis Stargate is not a "full gate" - it actually makes sense. The Gate accessories are based on the actual set pieces used in the series, so in fact, the Atlantis gate will be acurate to the set used in the Gatruim set at Bridge Studios. At least, thats my take on it.

I also had a nosey at the product lists on Diamond's website. It states:


Created by Jean St Jean Studios using the latest digital scan technology, these 7" figures feature multiple points of articulation and includes series-specific accessories.

Plus, combine all six pieces included with the first and second series to create your own figure-sized Atlantis stargate!

So like the SG1 figures, you need to get four characters for the stargate itself, plus two more for the floor Gatrium pieces.

[Roddy_McKay]

As I stated earlier, I got used to the floor gate realizing it would actually be better for display. The only question is where do the six pieces come from? From the image on the website (Thanks, I did not know that DST listed them recently) you can tell that the gate is split at the top. However, at the toy fair it looked like the physical gate is split in only two pieces. Maybe because of the "new detailed back" of the gate, it is split along its axis so Weir and Shep come with the front pieces and Series 2 comes with the 2 back pieces?

[prion]

Finally figured out what's been off (at least to me) on the Shep figure - he's too clean-shaven!

[Jedi40]

:beckettanime14: Does anyone know when the 7" ones will be ready to order?

[Calhoun]

:beckettanime14: Does anyone know when the 7" ones will be ready to order?

Some websites are already offering pre-orders on these figures, and (according to the DST website) they should be shipping around the end of August '07.

And what do you mean, 7" ones? All DST figures are about seven inches tall (except Thor). You might be referring to the pewter Stargate figures, which are smaller (but no less expensive, it seems!) which are already available to buy.

Nice read, nothing in new details about Stargate but I did notice this sentence. "...there are some very cool things coming up in the Stargate Atlantis (above) and Battlestar Galatica line ups."

[HirogenGater]

I've been watching Season 2 of Atlantis and I want a Ronan figure.

[Calhoun]

I've been watching Season 2 of Atlantis and I want a Ronan figure.

I've been watching season 3 of Atlantis, and I want a McKay figure. ;)

With any luck, we'll both get what we want in wave 2.

[LoneReconEagle]

"From the dawn of time we came, moving silently through your television sets. Living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Tau'ri, when the few who remain will battle the Goa'uld, Ori, Wraith, and Replicators. No one has ever known we were among you.....until now."

The truth is out there.

Well it's here, now. Secretly over the years, X-Files' major and reoccurring actors have been taken over Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis.

Personally, id like to see a S-Files set of figures.

From SGA:

COL Steven Caldwell (Mitch Pileggi / Asst Director Walter Skinner)
COL Marshall Sumner (Robert Patrick / Special Agent John Doggett)
Tavius (Brendan Beiser / Agent Pendrell)
DR Bill Lee (Bill Dow / Dr. Charles Burks)

From SG-1:

DR Osborne (Bruce Harwood / John Fitzgerald Byers)
GEN Vidrine (Steven Williams / "X")
Armin Selig (Chris Owens / Special Agent Jeffrey Spender)
Weaver (Brendan Beiser / Agent Pendrell)
DR Bill Lee (Bill Dow / Dr. Charles Burks)

The other one has already been made from SG-1:

Ori Prior Damaris (William B. Davis / CGB Spender aka Cigarette Smoking Man)


I've been watching season 3 of Atlantis, and I want a McKay figure. ;)

Here is a look at the first series of Diamond Select Toys' Stargate Atlantis
figures. Included in this wave are Colonel Sheppard, Black Ops Weir (Chase
Figure), Dr. Elizabeth Weir, and Male Wraith. There is also a Previews Exclusive
Blacks Ops Sheppard figure. Each figure comes with a piece of the figure-sized
Atlantis-style Stargate! Look for these to be released in August 2007.

Has two pictures - Shep and two Weirs and a Wraith and a larger Black Ops ShepI'm confused. I am ordering Sheppard *g* from Forbidden Planet, and they say a May release date.

So are they the same (look the same, have the same names) or are they released later in the US?

[nekoi]

Looks like Daniel and Anubis are being pushed back. :(

[Willow'sCat]

Looks like Daniel and Anubis are being pushed back. :(
Um the title here is Atlantis not SG-1 ;) sorry :o but we do have an SG-1 one thread.

And I want McKay... heck I would take McKay Atlantis or SG-1. :P

[HirogenGater]

I'm confused. I am ordering Sheppard *g* from Forbidden Planet, and they say a May release date.

So are they the same (look the same, have the same names) or are they released later in the US?

They should be roughly the same release date, and the UK will get the same figures as the US. :)

I know. I clicked the wrong thread by ACCIDENT. Sorry everyone!

[Willow'sCat]

They should be roughly the same release date, and the UK will get the same figures as the US. :)Hmm, so it is now August? Forbidden Planet had told me May (31st). So I have to wait? *dam it* :cool: :(

Any idea when the second 'wave' is due and what is in it? There seems to be so many SG-1 figures and no SGA. :cool:

I never go off what stores have up as release dates for figures, it varies so much. I believe there was a delay with the series 1 SG-1 figures as well and we didn't see those until August of that year. Waiting is very hard when you know cool products are coming.

I would base the SG-1 release as a mode for SGA. We might see SGA wave 2 next February or March. As to characters, that hasn't been released by DST but I am fairly certain we will see a McKay, Ronin and Teyla.

DST tested the waters so to speak with SG-1. Sales were excellent to say the least, so DST went ahead went Atlantis.

Be patient my young padawan.

As to characters, that hasn't been released by DST but I am fairly certain we will see a McKay, Ronin and Teyla. Well as long as they go ahead with them, I mean I still don't understand why they release Weir before McKay but meh I suppose they thought at the time Weir was a lead character... :cool:

Be patient my young padawan.mmmm, is that a Star Wars thing? I don't get it. :cool:

[nekoi]

I imagine they wanted to get the two commanding characters out first. I was quite surprised they weren't going with McKay, but I imagine he and Teyla will be in wave 2. Just be patient. :)

I'm happy Weir's coming first. I was worried she'd get ignored and she's a very lovely character.

[Willow'sCat]

LOL! I wouldn't have Weir if she was a give away. :rolleyes: *I may buy a Carter and 'pretend' she is blond Weir* :P

Whatever, I just think the two most popular characters should have been in the first wave. *shrugs* I suppose this means people like myself will at least be interested in the second wave, I have to admit I only care about Sheppard and McKay, maybe The Gate but yeah Sheppard and McKay is all that matters to me.

I find these wave things odd too, I know all shows tend to do it like that but most shows also go with releasing the main characters first (don't they?) or is it just Doctor Who? Buffy? I don't remember having to wait to get the main characters of Buffy... then I suppose I wasn't as aware of their release dates as I am of Stargate Atlantis. Maybe they just seemed to be released all at once. :S

[nekoi]

Weir is a main character, so it seems that they are sticking with that. :)

Don't worry, Rodney should pop up soon. If you feel DST is doing something wrong, I'm sure they'd love to hear it.

[Willow'sCat]

If you feel DST is doing something wrong, I'm sure they'd love to hear it.Really? Well I can't say if they are or not until I see the final sales figures. Not to mention the actual figures. ;) :p

Did I miss anything? If anyone would like to clean up the list with any naming mistakes or other corrections then we could post it every page (100 post per page setting) so people could have a quick reference.

[LoneReconEagle]

Any new announcement for ATLANTIS SERIES 2 probably will not surface until sometime in between ATLANTIS SERIES 1's release late-Aug/early-Sep, BSG SERIES 1's release mid-Oct, and SG-1 SERIES 4's release in Nov/Dec.

I would venture the announcement will either be around Baltimore Comic Con in early September or Fall Toy Fair in mid-Oct or Wizard World Texas in mid-November.

Like SG-1, it will probably take three - four series until we have all of the regular characters.

In some fashion Beckett, McCay, Ronin, and Tayla will be divided into ATLANTIS SERIES 2 -3.

Ford, Michael, Wraith Queen, other secondary characters, and more Black Ops figures will finish out the next two series.

[Calhoun]

When can we expect our first look at the Atlantis figures (the finished, ready-to-sell figures, not the prototypes)? And do we know what accessories will come with them (not counting the gate, which we already know about)?

[Beckmen]

As another poster pointed out, San Diego ComicCon is coming up, maybe there. I would be just ecstatic if Shep didn't have the ****-eating grin that he's sportin in the prototype pics...

Hopefully we also get the new and improved P-90s. Hard to imagine what other accessories the figs will have. Vest, P-90, gate piece, maybe an M92 (although the Carter figure's side-arm is more of a 1911, I think) and GDOs and walkies. The Wraith will probably come with the original staff Wraith stunner. Of course this is all just speculation.

Hopefully when they get around to McKay, he'll have his laptop. Carter really should have come with one. Maybe the Desert Ops Carter will.

[Roddy_McKay]

On the DST website it says that the Atlantis figures are coming out 11/21/07. Anyone know why there is the delay? Are they bringing SG1 Series 4 out first?

[jmw326]

This is no surprise to me. DST always has delays with there products. You would be safe to add 2 to 3 months to the "first" scheduled date to get an accurate timeframe of when something will be in stock. You get used to it after a while.

[Beckmen]

Man, that's depressing. I was looking forward to getting them in a month. Already pre-ordered. I wonder if DST will again extend the Elite Serpent Guard mail-away, since Steve won't be coming until November, now.

Meanwhile New Force Comics still doesn't have SG-1 Series 4 for pre-order.

EDIT: Wait, I know who to blame. Frakking BSG. The first wave of those figures is probably swamping DST, therefore delaying the Stargate stuff. Boooo!!!

[Roddy_McKay]

Yeah, I'm not getting any Battlestar figures, I like Atlantis way better. But your right, that's what has slowed down the process. Hopefully stargate toys won't be pushed into the background by BSG like the show was on TV.

[Beckmen]

I LIKE BSG, but I LOVE Stargate. I am not planning on buying any BSG figures, either. I want my SG figs! WAHHhHH!!!

[Willow'sCat]

What? I have to wait longer?!? :S %$^&!


I would be just ecstatic if Shep didn't have the ****-eating grin that he's sportin in the prototype pics...

Well I like his *cough* grin, it is his hairless baby face that annoys me. :S

Still he looks better then I thought he would, I mean you know it is him unlike some figures I have seen where you are pressed to even imagine who they are meant to be. :S:rolleyes:

[HirogenGater]

There are some pics up of series 2,

<snip>

Go to AFI or TNI for pics

DST doesn't want us to promote their product.

[jmw326]

Rodney and Teyla look amazing. Realy Realy great job.

[Roddy_McKay]

Atlantis Figures! Weeee!

Impressions:

McKay and Teyla look great.
Teyla has two hairstyles!
Rodney has the season 1 uniform, I was hoping for the season 2 one but I will accept it.
No accessories shown? (ZPM's?)
The gate looks good - but it that the final base?
Is the whole gate + base 4 pieces of 6? And what happened to the wraith's drone?

[Gen. O'Neill]

wow series two are very cool, field ops mckay and teyla are mine. :sheppard:

[Beckmen]

NICE. Obsevations...

1: Still prototype figs, incomplete articulation. I am kind of anxious to see how it will be.

2: Holsters are included. I wonder if they will be functional at all.

3: Series 2 looks great. Hard to tell from these smallish pics, but the face sculpts APPEAR decent. I wonder what other figs will be in Series 2, such as a PX fig. Are they doing PX figs for the Atlantis wave, though?

[roll my blues]

Thanks for posting the link, the new Atlantis figures look amazing. I am beyond thrilled. Instantly become my new favorite line. :mckayanime08:

[Calhoun]

Impressions:

McKay and Teyla look great.

Agreed. I have my issues with DST, but at least their SG figures look like who they're meant to (usually ;) ).


Teyla has two hairstyles!

I hadn't noticed that; I'm surprised to see Teyla with her longer "season 1" hair... not that I'm complaining! I just wonder how much that will restrict head movements.


Rodney has the season 1 uniform, I was hoping for the season 2 one but I will accept it.

The "regular" McKay is season 1, but at least the "Field Ops" McKay is grey.


No accessories shown? (ZPM's?)

I assume that a ZPM accessory will turn up at some point, but we haven't seen one yet. I wouldn't be at all surprised if one / both of the Weir figures came with a ZPM (since, honestly, what other accessories could she have? I can count on one hand the number of times Weir has handled a gun, and unless she comes with a laptop or something, a ZPM would make a decent accessory).


The gate looks good - but it that the final base?

'Fraid so. You're not the first fan to be disappointed with the Atlantis gate base (especially compared with the SGC-style ramp for the SG-1 figures)... and you won't be the last, either. :(


Is the whole gate + base 4 pieces of 6? And what happened to the wraith's drone?

The description for the Atlantis figures on the DST website says the gate comes in six pieces, one with each figure in waves 1 and 2. Presumably, that's four pieces for the gate, and two pieces for the base. The four gate pieces will probably come with Sheppard, Weir, McKay and Teyla (the same piece for both versions of the characters), while the base pieces will come with the Wraith in wave 1 and with an un-announced character (presumably an alien) to round out wave 2.

And as for the Ancient drone... we don't know which character in wave 1 it will come with, but just because it's not shown in the toy fair, don't go assuming it's been dropped or something. Please note, the person who set up the display has put the SG-1 wave 4 MALP next to the Atlantis figures, so it's not like these displays are accurate in terms of accessories.

[Roddy_McKay]

Well, I guess the base isn't so bad. Still, I don't see where the six pieces are on the gate. I can see where there is an attachment place at the top, but I cant see any more along the sides. Perhaps the other 2 pieces are such that they fit where the base would be to make a space gate?

[Beckmen]

Being a prototype, the gate pictured is probably only in one piece. I know the SG-1 gate is like that (there are pics floating about of it).

Accesories, yeah that's a toughie. Field Ops Weir BETTER come with a P-90. We need to be able to re-create The Long Goodbye. A ZPM would be nice, a laptop would be excellent. I am not expecting much, though. P-90, walkie talkie, M92, GDO. That's about all we get for the SG-1 line.

[Sg1_fan]

I have to agree series 2 looks great. the thing that i found funny was that it says no photography on the stand... but that might just be me lol

[LoneReconEagle]

No, its not just you. DST asked everyone to not take pictures or show pictures of the figures at this time until they were ready to reveal more than just the names of the figures.


it says no photography on the stand... but that might just be me

[nekoi]

Yay! Teyla and Rodney were very appropriate, and I'm happy to see that Teyla's different hairstyles are being concidered.

I can't wait for those figures. :D

[HirogenGater]

Rodney and Teyla look amazing. Realy Realy great job.

Have to agree, this line looks great. I hope Ronin is in Wave 2 as well. Maybe we can get a build a MALP in this line as well.

[Calhoun]

No, its not just you. DST asked everyone to not take pictures or show pictures of the figures at this time until they were ready to reveal more than just the names of the figures.

Huh? DST didn't want pictures of the Stargate figures? Then why did they display them at Comic-Con! :lol: They go to one of the world's biggest gatherings of gadget-loving geeks, and they don't want the thousands of sci-fi fans to use their camera-phones etc? If they didn't want people to take pictures, they shouldn't have displayed them for all to see!


Have to agree, this line looks great. I hope Ronin is in Wave 2 as well. Maybe we can get a build a MALP in this line as well.

I think they might leave Ronon for wave 3. Waves 1 and 2 both seem to have two regular cast members, so I expect Ronon to be part of wave 3 (hopefully with Beckett). Probably a "regular" Ronon and a "Runner" variant.

Personally, I think the MALP was just the SG-1 prop with the wrong figures. Since we're getting a MALP with wave 4 of the SG-1 series, I don't think DST would put an identical prop with the Atlantis figures, since they know that most Atlantis fans will also have bought the SG-1 figures, and most fans don't want two MALPs.

[Beckmen]

I want two MALPs. The Hazbot III version (Which DST is giving us) and the larger one that uses the same chasis as a FRED. I also want a FRED, naturally.

But yeah, the MALP is a SG-1 accesory. Series 1 and 2 of SGA will come with pieces of that. Series 3, we can only speculate. Care to? It'll probably be like 18 months of something, anyway...

DST is kind of nuts. The 'no photography' sign doesn't seem out of character for them. Remember this is the company that NEVER releases pics of their ACTUAL products, even well after the products have hit stores.

SGA uses MALPS as well. A perfect way to get another version of the MALP out to fans imo.

[Calhoun]

SGA uses MALPS as well. A perfect way to get another version of the MALP out to fans imo.

Another version of the MALP, I don't mind. As you say, Atlantis does use MALPs, and the MALP with SG-1 wave 4 looks to be the movie version, not the one from the TV series and Atlantis. But just sticking the same prop in with the Atlantis figures would seem like a rather cheap move (but wouldn't bring down the price, you can bet).

[Skydiver]

Folks, since we've heard that DST didn't want photos taken, i ask that folks NOT post links here. You do what you do on your own time and space, but please don't post the links here

[BlindedLight]

Guys Serie 1 & 2 of SGA will contain a piece of the Gate and the bottom. Weir, Sheppard & Wraith = 3 different pieces; McKay & Teyla = 2 different pieces -> one complete gate!

[nekoi]

For wave 3, I'd prefer an Atlantis style DHD, before a MALP... you know, just to stick it close to what the SG-1 line gets. :D

I'm hoping for Ronan and Beckett in Series 3-- I agree that a Runner variant of Ronan would be really cool!

So that leaves Lorne, Ford, Zelenka, Keller and Sam? I'm sure we could get at least 2-3 more waves. :D

Unless they decide to go with the ridiculous and pointless Atlantis Black Ops theme... then we'll probably be limited to certain characters up the wazoo.

[LoneReconEagle]

Its the preference of the company whether or not photos are allowed to be taken. They do have people there to stop it from happenning but with about 90,000 people each day attending, it is impossible for each person to be stopped.

It is the same rule for the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA SERIES 2 figures. DST has a signs that say NO PHOTOGRAPHS for them as well.

Why arent they ready for photos to be shown? Because DST isnt ready for the figures to be shown for anumerous reason but they allow people to report on what will be coming out but without photos.

Why display them? So the people who pay the large amounts of money to get into the show have a real treat.

What will happen to the websites who show these pictures? No-one wants to lose their ability to work with DST so they will simply remove the links & pics from their websites after either a call or email from DST.

What happens to those pics? The websites will hold the pictures until a time in which DST will allow them to be posted. Usually by that time there are a few changes in the lineup and new pictures are taken.

[Beckmen]

Now I wish the poster had cropped out the "No Photography" signs in the pics. Nobody might not even care.

[HirogenGater]

Good thing I got them when I could.

[Roddy_McKay]

You know what is really interesting about the pictures (I hope that I can still talk about what I saw, Moderators correct me if I am wrong), was that the release date for SGA wave 1 was September and the release date for SG1 wave 4 was October still.

[Beckmen]

DST probably had the signs and stuff made before the release date change, and didn't bother to care about the discrepancy. DST's store still says 11/21/2007 on the Atlantis figs. It would be a GREAT treat if that was some kind of typo or something, and come August I am playing with my SGA figs. But I doubt it. At least if the 11/21 date sticks, it'll kind of be like Xmas. I always loved getting loads of action figures at Xmas as a kid. :)

[LoneReconEagle]

Even if they did, other sites reported that DST had the "No Photography" signs and just reported the which figures were coming out.

Im glad to have seen the pics but wonder what will change between now and when they allow photos to be seen...


Now I wish the poster had cropped out the "No Photography" signs in the pics. Nobody might not even care.

[LoneReconEagle]

The toy business and release dates are the worst in the biz compared against comics, books, magazines, cds, and dvds.

Does anyone recall all of the shipping delays Playmates had with their Trek line?

Delays got so bad with Sideshow Toys that they stopped putting release dates out and chose to have release quarters so they wouldnt have as many delays.



You know what is really interesting about the pictures (I hope that I can still talk about what I saw, Moderators correct me if I am wrong), was that the release date for SGA wave 1 was September and the release date for SG1 wave 4 was October still.

[Calhoun]

Hope this isn't a double-post, but the DST website (http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/) is reporting Atlantis wave 2 (sans pictures... thanks for the explaination, btw, LoneReconEagle). It confirms McKay (plus a Field Ops variant) and Teyla (plus Previews Exclusive Athosian variant)... and a Wraith Queen (which plenty of people were hoping for, but I don't think had been confirmed before).

No news on which Wraith Queen the figure will be based on yet. I expect it'll be the "Rising" Keeper, but you never know.

[nekoi]

They better not turn any of them into pointless Black Ops figures.

Erg.. I really wanted that regular t-shirt Weir, too.

[Beckmen]

What regular T-shirt Weir? You mean in general, or was there one planned or something?

Series 2 seems good. I will try to get them all. Hopefully New Force will offer a package with all of them, or maybe a case. I think from now on I will be getting cases for the pre-prod figures and then sell or trade off whatever doubles I don't keep for head swapping. Also, hopefully the pre-prod case toppers continue to be stuff like Blue BDU Daniel. Unpainted figures are worthless to me. Oooh, a good pre-prod for Atlantis could be Sheppard in green SGC fatigues. Just use the bulk Green SGC Male body (O'Neill, Jackson, Mitchell) and the normal Sheppard head. Of course, I could customize that figure myself, but I might be tired of buying Mitchells.

[nekoi]

In the original convention pictures, Black Ops Weir was just a "field Ops" figure-- inwhich she was wearing her regular grey pants with the red-grey shirt she always wears, with a utility vest.

[Beckmen]

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/timespacetoys_1956_100097936

This is all I can recall having seen. Same stupid 'Black Ops' crap. She should DEFINITELY have her red shirt, and then this would make a great Phebus figure. Has she ever worn black like this?

No, she has never worn anything like that... that's why it's disapointing and stupid. :(

[LoneReconEagle]

No doubleposting. You were the first. Thanks!

We know what the figure assortment will be.

Now all we need to know is about the case topper(s):

Will they come with four different unpainted prototypes in boxes?

or

Will they come with a limited edition figure?

[jmw326]

Didn't Wier wear all black in the second half premier of this last season when they went back to Atlantis? I am prety sure that she did.

[Calhoun]

Didn't Wier wear all black in the second half premier of this last season when they went back to Atlantis? I am prety sure that she did.

Yes, in "The Return, part 2" (http://www.stargatecaps.com/sga/s3/311/). But that was a different outfit to the "Field Ops Weir" figure.

[Beckmen]

Yeah, that's REAL Black Ops gear. DST seems to think 'Black Ops' means 'Black T-Shirts'. The O'Neill Black Ops was the closest they got to right, and even that was more The Fifth Man, I think. I don't recall him wearing that hat too often.

[Jedigreedo]

Actually, in the Fifth Man they wore woodland camo. I think with the watch cap it was a mix of sometimes during "black ops" he would wear it and other times he would go without anything on his head, he also sometimes wore it with the OD uniform at the beginning of the series.

I can understand t-shirt figures for the regular uniform versions; woodland, OD and desert but commonly when they were only in black ops uniforms without the jacket was when they were captured and put in a cell. At least on SG1.

I haven't paid much attention to how they do it on Atlantis, they're too random.

[jmw326]

I was watching some SG1 reruns the other day and saw Oneil wearing the all black and the hat just like the fBO figure in the episode with the under water gate that had Mirina Sirtis in it (sorry dont remember the names of the episodes). Tealc was wearing all black too but just had the Tshirt. I dont know why you are all so down on the tshirt versions of these figures. I think they are pretty cool and it is a logical variant since they have the torso part already. As far as Weir is concerned I only need one figure of her for my display anyway. She has never been a great character in my opinion so I will probably just use the Black ops gear for another figure.

Watergate.

I can't speak for anyone else here but I don't care for the shirt versions because when I think SG-1 I think of them offworld in their jackets. I have nothing against the shirt versions, I just feel that they should be exclusives (which I would buy) not part of the regular waves. I think the BDU figures are also awesome as exclusives. Putting Jack in a black jacket and then Daniel and Teal'c in black shirts is not cool imo. I would like my display to match a bit more. At least that's how I feel about it.

On a side note...I can't wait for these desert figures of SG-1 and SGA wave 1.

DST '08: Marvel Zombies: Venom vs. Spidey, Revamped Buffy Line, and Stargate Atlantis

August 03, 2007

At the San Diego Comic-Con Diamond Select Toys showed off a wealth of new items for 2008 including some potential blockbusters such as a Marvel Zombies: Venom vs. Spidey statue that is due out in January. "Zombies are hot," DST's Michael Leavey told ICv2. "The Zombies were the bestselling Marvel Select figures we have had so far."

**snippage**

Diamond Select also plans to release its second series of figures based Stargate Atlantis. According to Leavey Stargate has been a real winner: "Stargate has sold phenomenally well for us." The second series of Atlantis figures, which is due out in 2008 will feature two versions (combat uniform and regular uniform) of Teyla Emmagan and Rodney McKay.

Live from San Diego - Stargate Atlantis Series 2!
Live from San Diego – Stargate Atlantis Series 2!

What: The second series of action figures from the award-winning Stargate Atlantis!

Who: Series 2 includes Dr. Rodney McKay, Teyla, a Wraith Queen, the limited Field Ops McKay and the Previews exclusive Athosian Teyla!

Where: Available in comic shops nationwide!

When: This follow-up release will arrive in stores in early 2008!

[Beckmen]

DST should just release the pics already. ComiCon came and went, they got their 'exclusive' preview. Arg, some companies business practices just get in my craw.

[nekoi]

They didn't answer my question about the Weir repainting. :(

[Beckmen]

Each version of Weir and Sheppard will have a different paint scheme to make them easier to distinguish.

OK, so it's one of their signature half-a**ed, crappy answers...

So does anybody have confirmation of the release date change? The GW Q&A says they are still coming out this month...

[Gen. O'Neill]

Well im happy, i got one of my questions answered and i got good answers:

1.Does DST have the license to do Minimates of both SG-1 and Atlantis? i was thinking it would be great for the Stargate that we have now. It's a perfect fit for them in this scale. What do you think?
We don't like to give out specifics of our licenses BUT Minimates would make sense -- right? i hope they make some. :sheppard:

now let see these figures get made. :jack:

[Calhoun]

While I don't have anything against Minimates, I'd rather that DST concentrated on Stargate action figures, rather than divert their attention between multiple types of figures.

Maybe if the sales of figures slow down, they can then bring out Minimates to renew interest in SG merchandise, but I'd rather they expanded the current range of figures. We SG fans only have so much money to spend on these things, you know.

[Beckmen]

If they did MiniMates (which I HATE...and are generic as ****), I think the main 7-inch lines would be neglected. So that is something I don't want to see happen.

[Calhoun]

Does anyone know how well the Atlantis figures are selling as pre-orders?

DST's long-promised wave of "Judge"-themed Buffy figures just got cancelled at the eleventh hour due to a lack of pre-orders, and I was wondering if Atlantis might be heading the same way. I heard somewhere that Atlantis wasn't selling as well as the SG-1 figures, but I don't know if that was true (or where that person got their information).

After seeing pics of the second wave of Atlantis figures (months before wave 1 hits stores, even), I would hate to see the Atlantis series end before it's time (namely, before I can get a McKay figure!).

[Roddy_McKay]

Gosh, I hope not. I have multiple pre orders at www.bigbadtoystore.com. I would hate to see the Atlantis figures not be produced. Didn't they say that stargate figures in general had been selling well?

[Roddy_McKay]

LoneReconEagle, you seem to have an inside scoop, do you know anything? We can take our own pole here as to who has ordered preorders. Who out there has ordered them if you dont mind saying so?

[LoneReconEagle]

Ive read two reports and had two telephone calls regarding the partial cancellation of the BUFFY/ANGEL lines. The Revamped and Judge lines were cancelled due to lack of interest and pre-sales. Each line would have needed an additional 3000 pre-sales to move it forward. The funny thing is that the Judge line was to arrive at retailers NEXT WEEK!!! Both telephone conversations felt that the lines were originally going to be postponed at the last moment, giving them time to get more interest. However, lack of interest has been faltering for about two years. After over 100 figures, some people are just plain tired of it.

Another example of this is SIDESHOW TOYS' X-FILES line. Its been three years since the last figure, Alex Krycek, was released. However, the line has not been cancelled. SIDESHOW has put it in a holding position until a time arrives that X-FILES will sell strong again.

It was announced this summer at SHORE LEAVE that the next figures for the X-FILES series are the LONE GUNMEN.

Yes, the ATLANTIS SERIES 1 has been affected but it is not known whether it is directly stemming from the BUFFY/ANGEL problems, a manufacturing issue, or a DST thing. ATLANTIS SERIES 1 has been postponed at least another month. I do know that ATLANTIS did have a slow start initially but seems to be doing better. Although the fighting continues as to whether or not Carter belongs on ATLANTIS, forecasts are showing that this upcoming season is to have more viewers.

On a sidenote, ill be cancelling this account and moving to another shortly due to an online stalker.

Lone.....Eagle here. Im in at my new account.

[Beckmen]

The funny thing is that the Judge line was to arrive at retailers NEXT WEEK!!!

Can somebody explain to me how this makes ANY business sense whatsoever? If this is indeed true, DST is taking a massive loss for NO REASON. The figs are made, packaged and ready to go. Why not sell them? Not that it really surprises me much, as DST has about as much business sense as a Goa'uld has tact. But this is a new level of stupid!

[Roddy_McKay]

"ATLANTIS SERIES 1 has been postponed at least another month."

Another month from the DST website posted 11/21/07 date or another month from the original September release?

[nekoi]

Ugh, why another month?><; That's so lame!

[Major_Griff]

I wish I had read this thread befor I preordered Weir, Feild Ops Shep, and the Wraith. the site I ordered them from still said shipping in August. Its gonna drive me crazy making sure I have enought money in my account to cover the cost of them when they finally ship. Thats why I I haven't preordered SGA S3 yet. I should probably mention that I'm 18 and money just seams to burn a hole in my pocket so this will be pretty hard if I do have to wait till November or December.

[BlackcoatCowboy]

Dont be upset. IF they get canned, they have to refund your money.

DST had the cancelled Buffy lines on their website two days after they announced the cancellation. Most retailers dont update their site too often because its time consuming and things change daily. Personally, i read about 15 toy news websites and about 8 forums each day. Most sites report news differently and not usually have all the information at once.

Most sites are still advertising the lines because online advertisements go by months.

A few extra months to wait is NORMAL in the toy industry. Its been that way since i began working in it back in 1992. The rule of thumb is to add 6-12 weeks to the original release date and you should be ok. What surprises me is when an item arrives earlier than announced (ie: McFarlane's 24 Jack Bauer scheduled for mid-September arrived at retailers mid-August).

Think about how much this would kill you. You know that some figures will be coming out. Its been two years since the last release but they have not cancelled the line and all inquiries say they will eventually be released.

Do you keep faith or give up?

[Beckmen]

Why can't they release stuff on time? Instead of giving a BS ETA, why not calcuate the ETA, add like 3 months on top of it and use THAT as the release date. If fortune shines and it comes earlier, where's the harm in that? Of course, E-Tailers should send authentication emails and stuff when stuff comes early so people don't get surprise charges to their accounts.

[jmw326]

I am not sure where everyone is getting there info from but DST has had a release date of 11/21/2007 for quite awhile now at least the last month and a half). Yes they did have an earlier release date but anyone who has done business with DST fo any length of time knows well that there release dates change constantly and things never make it by the first one announced. I would not worry about the Atlantis wave at all. They will be out eventualy. The Buffy cancelation will not effect the other different lines.

[Roddy_McKay]

HOOOORAY!!!!

From the DST site:

Atlantis Figures 10/10/07
SG1 Series 5 12/19/07

Also has descriptions of the accessories for Series 5!!

Atlantis figures will come out!!

[BlackcoatCowboy]

Atlantis Series 1 release date, take three...

Look at the DST release schedule for the rest of this year. Does anyone else see a problem with their dates?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer- Build-A-Judge: 29 August 2007 (line cancelled)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer- Deluxe Series 3: 29 August 2007 (did not ship or arrive this week, postponed again, date TBD)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer- Revamped Series 1: 10 October 2007 (line cancelled)
Stargate Atlantis- Series 1: 10 October 2007 (orginally September, then November)
Star Trek: the Wrath of Kahn- Series 1: 17 October 2007 (originally August)
Battlestar Galactica- Series 1: 31 October 2007
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine- Series 1: 31 October 2007 (originally September)
Stargate SG-1- Series 4: 19 December 2007 (originally January)

Though i wish these dates would stay true, so i can have a really great collecting month, i doubt that that will actually be these dates they are to be released.

I have been told July/August.... then September... now you say November... I guess it will be Christmas next. :cool::rolleyes:

[Gen. O'Neill]

hey guys here is apic of the atlantis series 1 figures from baltimore comic-con.
http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=2007_Baltimore_Comic_Con%2FDiamond%2FSG-1&pic=070.jpg&dispsize=800&start=0
as you can see the figures have the added articulation, it looks like they have the same points as the series 2 SG-1 figues. i don't know but i think its the angle of the pic but both shepard has no neck and the face looks odd than before. what you think? :sheppard:

[Roddy_McKay]

Hmm, I think it is the angle that makes it weird. Also, I think the lighting is changing the colors. Anyway, they seem to have changed the translucent plastic I liked on the gate. However, they did add actual holsters to Sheppard. Is that the final base? The gate has been cut so it is indeed 4 pieces + 2 base pieces.

[Major_Griff]

Yeah Sheppy does look weird but it could be the angle. And lets hope that the holsters are functional! Does any one else think its kinda dumb to have Feild ops Sheppard as a varriant and then an almost identical figure as the "regular" Sheppard. I mean I am only buying feild ops because that what I want, the team out exploring, but Is that darker blue how it actually is in the series?

[Beckmen]

Thanks for those pics. I like the articulation and stuff, but man does Shep's face look TERRIBLE. I don't know how DST thinks this is acceptable. Are they having a laugh at our expense? I am tempted to cancel my pre-order because of how bad this crap is...

[Roddy_McKay]

It looks like the holsters actually work (the BSG figures have guns in them). I'm am just really glad that the line isn't canceled and I dont think the figures look too bad.

[jmw326]

I am pretty sure Shep is just caught in a bad camera angle. The only thing that I noticed that looks off is the knee articulation cut for Shepard. His knees look too low. I will however wait untill I can see these in person before I make any snap judgments. So far they look very good for what they are (toys).

[Beckmen]

Taking so long, I keep worryuing that I will forget and the charge will catch me unaware.

[Willow'sCat]

Taking so long, I keep worryuing that I will forget and the charge will catch me unaware.Well the site still has 10/10/2007 so... well maybe that is correct *for once* :cool: I am not betting on it but it can't be much longer surely. :S

[HirogenGater]

Well the site still has 10/10/2007 so... well maybe that is correct *for once* :cool: I am not betting on it but it can't be much longer surely. :S

Now it is 10/31/07.

[nekoi]

DST sure loves making us wait. D:

[Major_Griff]

DST sure loves making us wait. D:

Yeah, no kidding! Do the words cruel and unusual mean anything to these people!?!

[Calhoun]

Lets just hope they get released sometime before Christmas. *crosses fingers*

My parents have just discovered there's an entire shop dedicated to sci-fi and comic book fans nearby (Forbidden Planet), and I'm hoping wave 1 will be in shops before they start shopping for presents. ;) :D

[padr49904]

Does anyone know yet what the accessories will come with them like we know the p-90 and someone comes with a drone but does anyone think at least weir should come with a zpm?

[HirogenGater]

Does anyone know yet what the accessories will come with them like we know the p-90 and someone comes with a drone but does anyone think at least weir should come with a zpm?

If I remember the pictures from toyfair correctly, McKay in series 2 comes with one. Anyone want to back me up on that?

[Gen. O'Neill]

i just saw the pic again of mckay and teyla and i see no accessories next to them. on along with that the wraith comes with the drone as seen in the first promo pics. :sheppard:

[Roddy_McKay]

I don't remember seeing a ZPM either. I hope that the figures aren't delayed any further.


Poor Dr. Weir, at least we get a figure of her.

[Lord Willow]

anyone knows where i see pics of atlantis series 2 figures?

[Gen. O'Neill]

Check out http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/gallery/v/sdcc_2007/Diamond+Select/dayone/Stargate/DSC09160.JPG.html. im not sure if im allowed to do this, if not then can someone please remove it. :sheppard:

[Beckmen]

I think the mods took it down last time somebody posted it. Trying not to piss DST off. But I think it's fine to PM it somebody who is looking for it.

PS/OT: Can I say 'piss'? I think we should at least be able to use harsh language that has been used on-screen in Stargate SG-1/Atlantis...

[Willow'sCat]

Now it is 10/31/07.I know I saw that, I hope that one is right. :cool:

[Calhoun]

DST has the first "official" pictures of wave 2 up, including our first look at the Wraith Queen:

Link (http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/product_debut.asp?dir=atlantis2)

It says wave 2 will be out by March next year.

*snort*

Yeah, right!

[Roddy_McKay]

Why does Rodney's hair look different in both action figures? I was hoping for the keeper wraith - time to get the red and blue paint out.

[Thunderbird 2]

Hi folks,

I have been away for a while, so I have not been keeping track.

1) Sheppards neck. -Its the photo I am sure of it. From certain angles the SG1 characters can look a bit odd like that as well, and the fact you can see the neck joint quite clearly, emphasises this.

2) Dates and delays. I am no expert, but toy companies have a difficult time when they are making mass produced items on a huge scale, that may need revisions or corrections. These figures are made for the collector market, and attention to detail means much more scruitiny. Remember, what we get in the bubble packs is not just the result of one prototype or design, and each of the accessories and other items (like the gatepieces) are seperately designed and manufactured too. Its a sad fact, but these things can cause delays. - Those of you who already have SG1 figs like me will know the wait is worth it, considering the end result. Plus ther longer DST takes, the more certaintly there won't be repeats of the Gateblunder!

3) Leaked pics of prototypes. - Take all of these with a pinch of salt. I say that simply because that is exactly what these are - prototypes. It is possible the finished item may be the same, alternatively it could be markedly different, depending on what reviews are made between now and the final dispatch of the completed figures. - I was worried when I saw the first leaked pics of RepliCarter and Desert Carter that she would be awful. I have used a Repli head on my original Carter, and I'm pleased that the figure has Amanda Tapping's likeness to a tee!


I wonder if wave 3 of Atlantis will include Dr Beckett? :beckett:

[Gen. O'Neill]

Wow, they posted this just in time. i was worried if i should remove the link but, i guess i can keep it or should i take it down? anyways the figures looks great, im getting the field ops versions of mckay and teyla. they look just like the proto's, can't wait to pre-order these soon. :sheppard:

[Roddy_McKay]

Yeah, even with all my complaints (see above), I am really pleased with these figures.

[HirogenGater]

I don't remember seeing a ZPM either. I hope that the figures aren't delayed any further.


Poor Dr. Weir, at least we get a figure of her.

Hmm.. I could've sworn I saw a ZPM with Series 2. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Series 2 looks pretty much liek the protos...so no surprise there. Can't wait to see these in December 2008! Woohoo!

J/k ..I expect delays now.

[Major_Griff]

Hopefully Series 3 is Beckett, Ronon, Ford, SuperFord, and Kolya.

[nekoi]

A Two-Pack of Runner Ford and Ronan would be a nice touch. :)

[Major_Griff]

That'd be cool but I think they also deserve their own figures as well

[Calhoun]

For wave 3 (yes, I know, I'm getting way ahead of myself!), I'd like to see Ronon and Beckett, a Diamond Previews Ford figure (as from season 1, not high on Wraith enzyme), and probably Michael as the "alien" each wave has had. Then, if they want to do a two-pack of Ronon and wraith-enzyme-Ford from "Runner" like nekoi suggested, they'll already have the figure casts which they can just re-use or adjust slightly.

Oh, and I just noticed something... the DST website now lists Atlantis wave 1 as being released 11/21/2007. :(

[Roddy_McKay]

Dang. I was afraid that was going to happen.

[Major_Griff]

Oh, and I just noticed something... the DST website now lists Atlantis wave 1 as being released 11/21/2007. :(

Wow... Wow... Wow.

[Gen. O'Neill]

didn't they have that date before? thats just great; first it was in sept, then nov, the up to oct, then back down to nov; what the deal? well one way or another i have no control of this, i still have to wait for them to come out. :sheppard:

[HirogenGater]

Sigh.....

[nekoi]

I wouldn't be surprised if a Season 1 Ford showed up, since they're making the Season 1 Rodney.

I really would like that two pack I mentioned, though... Ronan and Ford just looked awesome in that episode. :D

If Beckett ever appears, I hope they give him the medical backpack.

As for an enemy/alien figure, I bet we'll either see a Genii soldier or a Wraith Grunt in Wave 3.

[Major_Griff]

As for an enemy/alien figure, I bet we'll either see a Genii soldier or a Wraith Grunt in Wave 3.

Thats probably what it'll be, but I want Kolya! Enough with the genaric bad guys already. lolz

[Willow'sCat]

Oh, and I just noticed something... the DST website now lists Atlantis wave 1 as being released 11/21/2007. :(Well I am shocked and surprised... not! Oh well, I am happy that at least the McKay figure/s look pretty close to the real thing including *I swear* the slanting mouth! Yay! Um, his hair is so much better now, why use the 2005!McKay hair. :( *shrugs* Better then nothing, just hope I am not waiting until 2009! :eek::P

I also hope he comes with a ZedPM. ;)

[HirogenGater]

Wow, they posted this just in time. i was worried if i should remove the link but, i guess i can keep it or should i take it down? anyways the figures looks great, im getting the field ops versions of mckay and teyla. they look just like the proto's, can't wait to pre-order these soon. :sheppard:

Series 2 does look good. I plan on ordering the set, but will probably only open the field ops Teyla, Mckay, and the Wraith Queen.

[Major_Griff]

I just thought of something for the Ford figure. What if they made it have two interchangible heads. The body would be the feild ops uniform and the first head would be season one with the baseball cap he wore while the second head would be from Runner with the messed up face and black bandanna.

[Beckmen]

Good idea, but DST won't do it. They didn't do anything like that for the other character's and their changing hair, so they won't do it for Ford. They might release a seperate Ford with that head and the normal body seperatly though.

[Thunderbird 2]

I wouldn't be surprised if a Season 1 Ford showed up, since they're making the Season 1 Rodney.

If Beckett ever appears, I hope they give him the medical backpack.

Looking at the McKay figures got me thinking - Beckett and McKay have a similar build. As with Dr J / Colonel O'Neil / Colonel Mitchell, they could reuse the McKay bodies for the same two styles for Dr B, - Atlantis colour coded, and Grey field fatigues with tac vest. (One can but hope...!)

[nekoi]

Not to get too hopeful for the future, but I hope if we get a wave 4, it includes Keller and Carter.

They look too awesome in the new season NOT to be figures. :D

And I'm guessing now we can say the Black Ops Weir is based off Season 4?

[Willow'sCat]

And I'm guessing now we can say the Black Ops Weir is based off Season 4?Hmm, I think that would be really hopeful. Seriously, we don't even know if Carter stays beyond season 4 *if they get a season 5* and Keller is not a regular... do they put out figures of minor characters? :cool: If they were going with a wave 4 I would rather have Radek and Lorne then with maybe a Puddle Jumper.

How does it all work anyway? Will we get a Puddle Jumper...? They are so cute *cough* I mean cool. :D

[Major_Griff]

and Keller is not a regular... do they put out figures of minor characters? :D

I think Thor and random Jaffa six count as minor characters aswell as random Wraith dude and Steve.

[nekoi]

Not to mention that the Vala figures were both based off of her Season 9 appearances, inwhich she was recurring-- she was only on one season as a regular by the time her figures released... and if we get a Carson based off Season 1, that'd be a recurring role, too.

Jonas was only on one season, too and he didn't pop up until Wave 4. Even if Sam stays for one season only, I can still imagine her getting a figure over Radek (although a Radek figure would be nice). So basically, I can see them doing the same thing, if we do so get a Wave 4.

As far as I know, they're still sticking by their "No ships" policy, but I can imagine that they might give us a lantean computer or something.

[HirogenGater]

My hopes,

Wave 3
Beckett Field Ops
Beckett Tan Jacket Variant
Sheppard SG Outfit from "The Return"
Koyla

Wave 4
Carter Field Ops
Carter On Base outfit
Radek Field Ops
Human Form Replicater

[GateByte]

I think I'd like to see the rest of the SGA cast before there is even talk of an Atlantis Carter. I don't actually consider her part of Atlantis, and there are other actual Atlantis characters I'd really like to see figures of first, like Beckett, Ford and Ronon etc.

The new uniforms do look interesting (I still prefer the orignal style myself, the new ones feel very... star trek-y to me), but if they were to do versions of McKay or even a figure of Keller with the new uniform, that'd be good enough for me.

If you'd read what I said about a page back, you'd notice that in my mind, they'd have Beckett, Ronan and Ford in wave 3... and if it works out that way, THEN wave 4 would hopefully include Carter and Keller. I do agree that Ronan, Ford and Beckett deserve their figures first. I'm just thinking after that.

Plus, sorry to say, but...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55/hako_neko/Sam_atlantis01.jpg
You're kind of wrong about her not being apart of Atlantis.. you know, since she's assumed Command at the moment and such; she even appears in the opening credits (as shown above). Save your denial for the anti-Carter thread, please?

Yes, I know she appears in the opening credits, so yeah obviously she is part of Atlantis now, no denial here.

All I meant, was that to me she'll always be a part of SG-1 first and foremost, with Atlantis as a tag onto the end (for now). I have nothing against Carter, really. I just think it's too soon (even in Wave 4) to see her with the Atlantis figures when there are so many great characters, aside from the 3 I've mentioned, that I would really love to see first. Maybe in Wave 5 or something. I'd really like to see maybe Lorne or Zelenka in Wave 4, and I guess, if they were going to do ones with the new uniforms they might do Keller and Carter as they could probably reuse the same body, just swap out the heads.

But basing from waves 1 & 2, I think they're more likely to put something like say, Beckett and Ford as field ops & on base paired with a Genii or something else for Wave 3, then two versions of Ronon with 2 versions of someone else plus an additional figure. It just seems to me like they might stick to the '2 of you, 2 of you and an alien' thing they've had for the first 2 waves. I'd definitely be looking forward to maybe a Koyla figure with one of the next waves.

[Gen. O'Neill]

I would be happy to see a s4 carter with the new uniform made, of course the others should be aswell. it will be like sg-1 were the main cast was made first, then we got the new cast. so it just takes time. :sheppard:

[Jedigreedo]

I'm hoping to see:

Wave 3-
Beckett (Base)
Beckett (Field)
Ford (MARPAT Camo)
Ford (Field)
Kolya

Wave 4-
Shepperd (Grey field ops)
McKay (Black ops)
Teyla (Black ops)

We need Ronon atleast in wave three to complete the offworld team. He should have been in wave 2 but whatever.

I agree this talk of another Sheppard figure or Ford or even Beckett before Ronon is not going to sell anymore figures imho. Peeps like to have at least one set first...:) Ronon is part of the main team on SGA now, so he needs to be in the next wave (3), even though I wouldn't personally buy it. ;) If I was speaking personally I would have gone with McKay & Sheppard in the first wave then Ronon & Teyla then Beckett & Weir. The Team before the side-kicks. ;):)

[Roddy_McKay]

My Hopes:

Wave 3 (Build the Chair??):

Ronin
Carson
Field-Ops Carson
Ford
Michael??

Wave 4 (Build Atlantis??):

Just like Wave 4 SG1, main cast in new uniforms:

Rodney
Teyla
Sheppard
Carter
Keller

Wave 5 (Build Hive Ship??):

Wraith Grunt
Kolya
Asuran

Possible two pack:

Sheppard and Rodney Virtual Ancient Uniforms from Aurora?
Sheppard and Rodney T-shirts from Defiant One?

Chair Weapon and either Carson or Sheppard or O'Neill
(like the captain's chair things that are being done with Star Trek from DST).

[Thunderbird 2]

In the end it comes down to demand and production costs. - Even SG1 is not complete yet. No Hammond or Landry, but Jonas is coming in set 3. Why? The good generals would need brand new moulds that are markedly different from any of the existing ones. Jonas is a new head on a reuse of body moulds that may be altered slightly.

I don't know what DST will do next, but I can see more use of the existing bodies, such as Black Ops Sheppard and Black Ops McKay with offworld Ronan, (long coat?) and an exclusive Dr Keller to round out the set from a moulds point of view. Let me empahsise PURE speculation. I just want Dr Beckett! :beckettanime14:

Doesn't list the series 2 action figures as yet.

[nekoi]

Rodney's hair looks kind of flat to me... otherwise, great sculpts. :D

[HirogenGater]

Rodney's hair looks kind of flat to me... otherwise, great sculpts. :D

Agreed, but Teyla looks great.

[Beckmen]

She's awfully barefoot, what did Quentin Tarantino guest-sculpt this figure? :p

[Ghostrider]

I can't help but notice that their vests look more like Real Blackhawk vests than the SG1 Figures ones, look at my attachment, then the shot in morjana's post, then look at nekoi's Sig, see they have different pockets. (That's the vest I just bought on EBay BTW :) ) I hope that is the vest they will use on the figures, rather than just reusing the old ones.

[Major_Griff]

SGA vests are different than the SG-1 vests which is why they are different on the figures. In SG-1, they had pockets going up both side the whole way. on SGA, they have the black padding on one side.

[nekoi]

Yeah, if you look closely, you'll notice the different vests (even though Shep wore the Atlantis vest still, when he went back to the SGC in The Return, lol).

Hopefully if they're reusing the same vests from Wave 1, they wont look as bad. The vests on the Wave 1 prototypes looked pretty good. :D

SyFy Portal (http://www.syfyportal.com/news424338.html) has a review of the Atlantis figures (which they say are due out next month). They also mention wave 2, although the pictures of wave 2 are the same ones we've seen in the last week.

[Roddy_McKay]

Translucent Drone and...

ZPM!

[HirogenGater]

Hmm according to the picture of Dr. Weir she comes with the ZPM and a drone. See, I knew I saw them before, I just had the waves mixed up. :)

[Gen. O'Neill]

The figures looks nices!! is it me or does sheppard's head looks a little small in that pic? weir looks good and the accessories looks great, now that a p-90. the gate pieces are cool, that is a cool wave. can't wait for my figures to come soon. :sheppard:

[Jedigreedo]

Wow, the P90 is awesome! It's not the most accurate I've seen (McFarlane did better) but it at least captures the beauty of the P90 as opposed to the Picaso-90 we've had to endure with SG-1. I'm highly looking forward to these!

Ooh, hopefully that's being included with the Desert SG-1 wave. I wonder if they have redone the staff weapon as well?

[HirogenGater]

I wonder if they have redone the staff weapon as well?

Oh I hope so.

[Beckmen]

1: What are those pyramids that come with the figs?

2: The P-90 LOOKS better, but judging by the pic they figures still can't hold the things right. It would also be nice if they had slings on them...

Hang on a moment. Weir with a copy of "War & Peace"? That is the book Sheppard is reading not Weir? :S Also why is Weir with a ZedPM? That is fraked up right there as she has never held one... ever! :cool: Not to mention I am NOT buying Weir so I want McKay to have one! :( I can't have him without a ZedPM! That is who McKay is for crying out loud!

Not happy.:cool:

[Roddy_McKay]

They will probably repack the ZPM with Rodney, since they have the mold of it already and can reuse it. I was wondering why they gave her a book rather than her laptop. I like Dr. Weir and I will be getting a figure of her, but if you aren't, then how will you build the gate?

[Thunderbird 2]

As far as I can tell, the SyFi Portal article makes no reference to which accessories come with which figures, so there is no way of knowing for certain.

Personally I think it does make perfect sense for Weir to come with a Zero Point Module. Without the ZPM Weir would never have been able to lead her people to Atlantis, and the epsiode "Before I Sleep" blatently a Weir story, intimately ties the good Doctor's fate to Atlantis and the Zero Point Modules. (Torri Higginson did a brilliant job in that episode!)

The Gate pieces - This works the sanme way as SG1. You will have to buy one of each relivent figure to get the pieces to build the Gate. For SG1 it is:


Set 1

O'Neil Gate piece
Dr Jackson - Gatepiece
Jaffa Serpent Gaurd - Half the ramp

Set 2

Colonel Carter - Gatepiece
Teal'c - Gatepeice
Thor - Other half of the ramp.

All versions of O'Neil or Tealc etc always come with the same gatepiece. Butr unless you have a friend with a spare, you will have to buy one of each character to bould the gate. DST has stated they will NOT sell the gate pieces seperately, as that would be unfair to those who have collected the figures to build their stargates.


I assume the Atlantis range will work the same way, with Sheppard, Weir, Teyla and McKay coming with the gatepieces, while the Wraith and the Wraith Queen will have the floor pieces from the Gatrium.

- I don't know this for certain, but it would fit the pattern.

[Willow'sCat]

I like Dr. Weir and I will be getting a figure of her, but if you aren't, then how will you build the gate?Are you asking me about the Gate? I am a geek but I am not that big a geek :P I want Sheppard and McKay and that is it. I am sure I can live without the Gate. ;):D I have a TARDIS afterall. ;)

[Gen. O'Neill]

Has there been any pics yet of the fial packaging? after looking at the waith pic from that review site it looks like they are going to use the same package design from SG-1. if thats the case then that would be cool. :sheppard:

[Calhoun]

Has there been any pics yet of the final packaging? after looking at the waith pic from that review site it looks like they are going to use the same package design from SG-1. if thats the case then that would be cool. :sheppard:

I don't think we've seen the Atlantis packaging yet, although I expect they'll use something very similar to the SG-1 packaging. The figures are due out by the end of the month, so I'm sure we'll be seeing pictures of the packaging before long... not to mention the actual figures. :) As nice as the packaging is, I'm much more interested in getting the figures themselves. ;) :p

[padr49904]

anyone else thing that the zpm looks really weird im all for a zpm but the one i pictured didnt look like that. The one in the pic looks like a ice cream cone upside down with some of the point cut off and some side shaving.

[Beckmen]

http://syfyportal.com/Images/toys/ColonelWeirWithBook.jpg compared to: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d2/Zeropointmodule.jpg

Looks fine to me.

[jmw326]

It looks right to me.

[padr49904]

It looks like besides the shape that its missing some color mabe the picture is just too small to see it all

[Roddy_McKay]

Atlantis Pushed back again!? NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo.

[HirogenGater]

Atlantis Pushed back again!? NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo.

Well that sucks.

[Beckmen]

Where? I am not seeing this, when is the new ETA?

[Gen. O'Neill]

in the gateworld front page thier is a article about the 12" figures. on the lower bottom there is a part that said "sg-1 series 4 and atlantis series will be out 12/19/2007". although they put "12/19/2008" but i think thats an error.
here is the article: http://www.gateworld.net/news/2007/11/diamond_developing_12-inch_starg.shtml. :sheppard:

[Beckmen]

Blast! I hope Series 4 of SG-1 gets pushed back, then. My bank account doesn't want to take two hits like that in one month...especially the month of Christmas. CRAP!

[bloodshot]

Does it look like the release date for SGA Series One figures will hold or are we in for another setback? :sheppardanime31:

I sure hope we'll see a Ronon Dex figure by Series Three.. :ronan:

What SGA characters are you waiting for - Lt. Ford, Colonel Caldwell, Radek Zelenka, Carson Beckett, Dr. Keller?
