@jkpopculture Thanks!
I've finally also seen a few other close up pictures. Overall, I think both figures look good. What do others think? I would have preferred Lew to have more of his classic look with longer hair, but that is very minor. His legs seem a little small, but again not a major issue for me. I think Lips looks great. I really hope theses two figures get made. How many of the accessories shown will make it into the final packaging? My guess is one trumpet for Lips and one Muppet fish and one regular fish for Lew. Getting all the accessories would be cool. Getting the figures at all would be cool.
People are receiving the DST Invincible figures that were, I believe, solicited in November 2023. Since Deadly and Pepe were solicited in October 2023, I wonder if they'll be arriving in the next few weeks. I have a feeling they haven't gone into mass production yet and won't until after the company is sold at the end of March, assuming that happens, and the new owners want to make them.
There are no March pre-orders for DST showing up in the Dropzone at entertainmentearth.com. I wonder if those are also on hold until a successful sale of the company. Come on Lips and Lew and beyond!
All of our March pre-orders opened up on February 21. All of our April Pre-orders, including Lips and Lew, will open up on March 21. I don't know how they handle Drop Zone, but there were several items at NY Toy Fair that won't be solicited until next Friday. Of course, we haven't released any official photography yet, and won't until then, so it is likely they will not post about them until the 21st.
Also, the official photography of Lips will change significantly, we are revising that figure. Lew is fine.

Thanks for the reply and info! I hope y'all get great news at the end of the month!
It's great to hear Lips and Lew will be solicited next Friday. I'm so excited to see the official photography of them and really curious how Lips will be revised. The version at Toy Fair looked pretty great to me, though I think his hair could be tweaked a little.
BBTS is soon processing Fraggle Rock series 2. I’ve got all but Mokey ordered. Can’t wait for Sprocket!
FYI, using the small 'log in' link near the bottom of the pages under the ads works while the link directly under the threads remains broken. Get your comments in before another crash!
The wave 2 Fraggle figures seem more durable than the first wave, based on my initial handling of them.
With Alliance Entertainment set to purchase Diamond Select Toys, I feel pretty confident we'll get the Muppet figures they solicited and hopefully more. Based on the YouTube interview I saw with Alliance's CEO, it seems like they are really interested in figures and other collectibles. Although, I didn't see Disney included in the list of licenses included in Alliance's purchase, which gives me concerns about the fate of the line. Maybe they'll need to negotiate a new contract? Overall, I assume the purchase is great news for DST employees and for the continuation of their figure lines.
I'm surprised all the sites still have Sweetums set to ship by the end of the month. Obviously, there's no chance of that happening. I'm ok with a delay, but I hope he eventually comes out.
I hope that EE gets the latest Fraggle rock figures in soon. I got them there with one of the deals last year and while I'm usually patient, I can't wait to get my hands on Sprocket.
