***UPDATE 6/22/06*** DST has just informed us that there is a 2-3 week delay in the release of the SG figures. They are now estimating release 7/19/06. We will continue to update as we get info
Any new updates as to when the line is being released? After watching the season premiere I am totally excited to get these toys.
The core assortment is scheduled to contain Lt. Colonel Mitchell, Vala, an Ori Prior and a limited Black Ops Daniel Jackson!

No kidding. The premieres were awesome. I haven't heard anything else yet hopefully it is still the 18th, which is Tuesday, I could really use some more SG-1 figures. :)
Before Friday, I had never watched SG. But once I watched it, I instantly became hooked! Now that I found out there is a toy line, I'm even more excited!
Well, this is my question: Are the SG figures available at retail? Becuase you make it sound like they are gonna be released in stores by the way you said that there is a specific date for the figures to come out. So, are they at Comic shops? Retails stores? Online exclusives?
No major retail stores carry them. Check out your local comic shop, or try and pick them up online, it is far less worrisome. ;)
DST has announced Wave III.QuoteThe core assortment is scheduled to contain Lt. Colonel Mitchell, Vala, an Ori Prior and a limited Black Ops Daniel Jackson!
I've got mixed feelings on these choices, I like Mitchell and Vala a lot, but I'd have rather seen them get to the older figures first. Like Hammond, Fraizer, Jonas, and some Goa'uld...

Where did you hear this? I agree that I would prefer to do more classic figures. Hammond, Apophis, Ba'al would be better picks then Prior. But here is to hoping that the do a variant Vala that is knocked up with Ori-spoiled bastard child.
Any idea how long it will be until the variants ship?
I was checking Diamond Select's shipping list and Black Ops Jack shipped this week, so by this time next week I will have all of the basic's for Series 1 and just waiting on the Unpainted Figures & Variants.
I am probably going to have to buy an extra Serpent Guard & General Jack O'Neill so I can build 2 full gates. I will put one with my figures, and put the other one in a different room. Just so they have a different gate to go through on the other side of my house...(damn I am a geek!)
We have received about 1/2 of our ordered stock. Unfortunately, the factory in HK has "messed" up our order, and we are not receiving the entire balance at this time. We are going to go through and try to fill single set preorders and then at least 1 of the 2 multi preorders first (you will still get the free promo figure), and when balance arrives, will continue. We will keep updating status here, but as of today, we cannot fill all preorders due to factory error, and a final resolution to the situation has not been reached.

Sorry I am still a little bitter about this whole thing.
Hopefully DST get's their act together and Series 3 is released on time.
SG update
January 10, 2007 | 9:01 PM | newforce1
Our truck of SG1 series 2 should arrive Thursday. We hope to have all preorders shipped by Monday (15th). We have added wave 3 (both sets and cases with free pre production figure), Replicator Carter and the "ASCENSION" DANIEL & ANUBIS ACTION FIGURE 2-PACK presales to the SG Catalog.
I had the same problem. I pressed really hard and then they fit in. :)
The new Atlantis figures look pretty snazzy. I think they got a pretty good likeness of Weir and Sheppard. I think I may need to start buying full cases of the figures from New Force, as opposed to the half cases. I really would like extras for customizing.
Gotcha. At least that way I could build the 4-man team and end up with the Gate which works fine. Thanks again, Ryan.
E...
I started going through all my figures and I feel slighted that the Daniel piece for series 3 comes with the same piece he had in Series 1. I like the crystal skull, but he should have come with a MALP instead of another gate piece. Between the Daniels, Jacks, and Teal'c pieces I have enough pieces for 4-5 gates. I am keeping 2 sending one to EFRANKS, and I have no idea what I will do with the rest.
Weekend after X-mas 2007 we are finally gettin Atlantis Series 1. A set of figures that should have been released 6+ months ago. At the rate that they keep pushing the release date for all the Stargate Figures around it will be August 2008 for SG1 Wave 4 and Valentines Day 2009 for Atlantis Wave 2.
So Ryan (knashdx) do you have any idea when SG-1 Series 4 is supposed to be out then? DST also was supposed to have the first wave of BSG figures out at the end of October, I still haven't heard anything about them. DST needs to get their act together, I want me some new toys. :P
It's nice to finally see an image of Jonas. The likeness is decent I guess. The forehead looks a little big but I could be worse I suppose.
I really wish I had the money and the space to pick up as many sets as you knashdx. I'd love to do some customs with these as well. Maybe I'll get around to it some day.
I've been trying to track down one of the Blue Daniel case toppers and have had no luck so far. Nothing has gone any cheaper than $30 on the bay, not that I have seen anyways. I really want one, but I can't stomach it for more than $30 not including shipping. I might cave eventually but for now I think $30 is going to be my ceiling.
NewForce finally put Atlantis Series 2 up for pre-order. I went ahead and order my usual one of each. Does anyone know if there are any special Atlantis case toppers, or other SG-1 toppers besides Daniel for that matter? I know of the unpainted figures and it was nice not to have to worry about tracking those down anywhere. If they are going to start including repaints or other "new" figures though I may be trouble.
Looking at the upcoming 12" figures, I'm glad these will be an easy pass for me. The likenesses on both of them are piss poor. And the clothing is incredibly boring. A 12" figure with 24 points of articulation (compared to Sideshow's 40), terrible sculpts, and clothing fit for a dollar store GI Joe for $40? No thank you. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for those. Thankfully that is at least $80 saved.

Since I have downgraded my Star Wars collecting to opener status for classic trilogy Stargate has become my main point of focus. Teal'c has been the biggest custom project I have done as I am up to 15 diffferent figures, but they were all made from the 3 different figures released. Atlantis is proving to be a harder set to make customs of and will probably be the cheapest set I get.
knashdx is Ryan too. My name is Ryan as well.

I might be able to help you on this. When I baught my figures from New Force I got 2 Daniels as I baught 2 opener sets. I have since purchased 2 more figures from them for about $30, but I don't know if I need all 4. If I don't I will PM you and let you know.

Not that I have heard on the case topper. But then again they ussually don't want info like that out there till just before the toy is released.

Part of me has considered going down that route, but I can't bring myself to do it. I've been a completionist with these so far (sans the WWLA O'Neill), and I only have 29 total figures. 15 Teal'c figures is mighty impressive. I'd love to see pictures of all your Stargate stuff if you have any. :)knashdx is Ryan too. My name is Ryan as well.

That's good to hear. At least I haven't missed anything other than Daniel yet. It does kind of make sense that we will see more like him in the future now that they have done it once. He came out with the Atlantis figures right?
My saving grace on this collection is that I only have openers...nothing in package. Did you pick up the Exclusive T-Shirt Daniel Jackson?
I got one from NewFroce's Ebay store for $30. I think it would have been cheaper for me to buy a full case from NewForce and sell off the extras. :-X
congrats on getting one finally. ;D
Did you use any SG-1 POPs when you mailed away for Steve? I have enough Atlantis figures to get one, but I was hoping to mail away a second set using my old Series 3 SG-1 POPs to get a second.congrats on getting one finally. ;D
Two. :-X I hate it when I do that. I bid on two auctions thinking I'd get outbid on the other... That's the second damn time I've done that. That's how I wound up with two FCBD O'Neills. ::)

I actually e-mailed Diamond Select about the Elite Guard, and they informed me that 1. It was sold out, and that 2. the SG-1 UPC's could NOT be used to get Steve.
My first Daniel just arrived. Nothing too spiffy I suppose, not worth $30, but i couldn't have that damn whole in my collection. I'm glad they included all the accessories they did. Most are really more Atlantis specific, but it is nice to get a few extras, including another new P-90. I wish they would have given him the SG-1 arm patch as opposed to the generic SGC though. I was a bit bummed out about that.
I'm kind of thinking I may want to add a beard onto my other one, like he had in the early Season 9 episodes.Did you use any SG-1 POPs when you mailed away for Steve?

I just got an e-mail from Diamond Select and it appears that there are no Mail-In promotions for SG-1 Wave 4. >:( >:( >:(

That's pretty disapointing. I was really hoping there would be one as I still have all my Series 3 UPCs. So many of these figures already share parts it's not like they'd really have to make anything new. They could easily do a blue base uniform O'Neill, Teal'c, Jonas, or Mitchel. I guess I'll just have to keep holding onto mine as well.
Ryan worked on a few pieces for his Stargate collection. Ryan, you'll have to explain who the characters are. I'm not that familiar with the show.

Diamond Selects shipping site is showing that SG-1 Wave 4 (Desert Gear) & Previews Jonas Quinn are shipping this week. This wave is going to be nearly as expensive as Wave 2 was with all the Teal'c figures I picked up. I can only hope that there isn't an exclusive Case Topper with this wave like the Daniel.
Ryan, I so am going to steal your idea on Anubis... I've been wanting to do a customized version that was more accurate to the show for quite a while now. I knew I wanted to bulk up the robes and repaint them a bit so they looked more accurate but I wasn't quite sure what i was going to do with the head. Now I know. :)
I have extra fabric that I used for it if you would like a chunk of it. I purchased an entire yard of it not knowing how bad I was going to screw it up. Luckily it only took me 2 tries. I was able to use the same fabric for the cloak for Teal'c. Just PM me your address and I will ship you out a 9" section.
I hope my 3 sets ship today. Next week the DVD Ark of Truth comes out. So finally the Ori story line will be finished. If you go to Diamond Select you can purchase additional ring transporter pieces. They are limiting the quantities to 5 per customer @ $4.00 a pop. Somehow I have to get 9 additional rings depending on what all comes with my Carters & Quinns.
the final cut of ark of truth is done?
Ryan -
Did you get your shipment yet? Mine got held up in St. Louis thanks to the weather.
Ark of Truth is out today....
I still haven't pciked of AoT yet, I have a paper due at 5 today I haven't started yet... talk about last minute. :-X
Mine is out for delivery today, but I somehow placed two orders... so I have another coming tomorrow. :-\
I had emailed Rick and he said they would cancel one of them, I guess that didn't happen. Oh well, I guess I'll have extras for customizing.

Do I get some cookies now? :)
Finish your paper Ryan!!! BTW, did you get that coin yet?
I picked up Ark of Truth, but it's so nice here in the Springs I'm taking the dogs for a walk and working in my yard instead! ;D
I put an order in for 4 of them myself. I'd guess they'll remove the limit after awhile. I should know this but... how many rings make up a stack?
Series 4 is actually fairly dull, IMO. Not bad, I just kind of think 'meh' when I look at them. The MALP is a great accessory and is pretty cool to have. I'm going to have to check to see if it is scale or not though. The rings are kind of small, and the scale looks to be a bit off, not by a whole lot though. I only have a stack of two so far but you can fit SG-1 all in there together it looks like. I'm glad to finally have a Jonas. The Naquadria generator is a neat little accessory. Teal'c and Daniel are both nice, primarily because they both have their damn vests, unlike Carter and O'Neill. >:(
I really don't get why they aren't given vests, they have hardly any accessories between the two of them to begin with. Carter has her gun and I think it is the Asgard Time dilation device. :-[ O'Neill has a P-90, Radio, and GDO. They both look so plain without their vests. And you rarely ever (possibly never) see them walking off world in their desert camo with only a T-Shirt and no vest, especially like O'Neill with his hat backwards and his goggles on. I can at least give O'Neill a vest when my second set comes. I may have to go back and buy another or the series two Carter to get an extra vest for her though...
I haven't gotten notification from New Force that my stuff is shipping, and they have updated one of their pre-orders to show that a new shipment isn't coming in till 4/10. Anyone else heard anything else?
Scratch that. My card was charged and I got my shipping notification earlier today.
No Wave 5 as in the SG-1 line is done? Or they just haven't announced it yet?
I really hope it keeps going... even if it is for just a few more waves. I really want Generals Hammond and Landry, some version of Apophis, Baal, Bray'tac, Doctor Fraiser, Walter, and a Kull Warrior. The possibilties are really endless but I think I would at least feel that they had covered the most important characters. I still can't believe they are coing out with that terrible 12" line.
Did the 12" figures actually ever come out either? I don't recall ever seeing a packaged shot of them even. I was trying to remember if they showed them off at Wizard World Philly but can't remember. And I didn't take any pictures if they were there.
E...
So is the SG-1 line dead? I can't believe nothing outside the Prior Daniel and Unending/Continuum Teal'c two pack has been announced. It feels like it has been forever since we have had any new Stargate figures. Atlantis series 4 is still a month away (until it is delayed another couple of months. ::)) We haven't heard of a series 5 yet either. I wonder if Atlantis' cancellation means the line is done as well?

I think with SG-1 cancelled and now Atlantis headed in the same direction it might be hard for them to generate any ongoing interest in the line. It's a shame, though, because SG-1 had 10 years over which it seems like it could have built a line and following with toy collectors yet they only came on towards the end.
If they'd done a 4" line or 12" line (earlier) I'd probably have been involved in it but didn't want to jump in on a new scale, plus cost, I was already spending my collecting money elsewhere.

Will Stargate: Universe be any better than ST: Voyager? Or either of the existing SG shows? We'll see.
I'll give it a shot and see where it goes.

DST promises more Stargate action figures
Monday - October 13, 2008 | by Shaun Farrell
Diamond Select Toys, creators of figurines and action figures for such franchises as Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Transformers, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Serenity, and many more, recently discussed their plans for the future of the Stargate lines with collectors. Future releases in the SG-1 and Atlantis lines may include Goa'uld System Lord Apophis and Dr. Carson Beckett.
Beckett's absence from the line has apparently caused some controversy among collectors, as Diamond Select Toys released a figure of Dr. Jennifer Keller in the Series 3 lineup of Atlantis. DST said that "its pretty much impossible to make everyone happy" when selecting which characters to base figures on.
The third series is currently slated for a December 10 release, and will also feature Colonel Samantha Carter, Wraith warrior, and the limited Garrison Uniform John Sheppard. A Ronon Dex figure will also be available as a Diamond Previews catalog exclusive. Each figure will include accessories and a piece of the Ancient control chair from the show, for collectors to assemble.
A new SG-1 two-pack is also listed for release on November 26, featuring the Ori Prior Daniel Jackson from "The Shroud," and the aged, post-"Unending" Teal'c.
DST also said that it plans to continue producing Stargate figures as long as the lines are profitable. While the recent cancellation of Stargate Atlantis may hurt sales, they plan to move forward, as "SG-1 has always done a little better than Atlantis. I can't say [the cancellation of Atlantis] won't affect the toy line -- it has to -- there will be less new content to do figures from so it has to change our plans, but we're not going to just stop doing figures. As long as the sales are there, we'll keep going with both shows."
The toy company also said they would be open to creating toys based on Stargate Universe, the third television series, set to premiere next summer. But they would wait to see Universe before exploring the possibilities.
To learn more about future Stargate action figures, read the Art Asylum Blog, and visit Diamond Select Toys for the complete Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis lines.
These figures all look pretty good as do the accessories. Too bad Ronon doesn't come with his sword instead of the P90.

Art Assylum (http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2009/01/ship-date-update/#more-223) is now showing that the Atlantis Wave 3 has been pushed back another month to 2/18/09.

::)
Wow. Did we really expect much else though? DST really needs to learn how to set release dates. If everything is constantly getting pushed back then they need to realize that they aren't giving themselves enough time, and just set release dates for further out.
Those carded images look pretty nice. The anciet chair is going to make a great little accessory. If these ever do ship, I ordered a full case from New Force (so I could get two Wraith Drones and the O'Neill topper) so I'll have an extra Carter and Keller (and possibly an extra Ronan) if anyone is interested in them.
I got my shipping notification as well. I [will] have an extra Carter, Sheppard, Keller, and Ronan if anyone is interested. :)
My case arrived yesterday. All in all it is a pretty good wave. The Drone is probably my favorite. I still think Ronan's arms look really goofy. His arms are too short and really bulky at the top with skinny little forearms. I really wish he came with both of his pistols. Carter's hair is to brunette and her lips are kinda funky but the likeness isn't bad. Keller and Sheppard look great and that Chair is a really neat accessory.
I think they could finish up my wish list for Atlantis in only one more wave:
Dr. Beckett
Dr. Zelenka
Lt. Ford
Major Lorne
Woolsey
I'm not saying there aren't other figures I'd like from Atlantis ,but I'd be happy if that was the last wave we get.
Larrin (Travelers) - Hot chick that kidnapped Sheppard
I listed my Series 3 extras (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=18948.new#new) in the classifieds if anyone is interested. :)
