Stargate Atlantis action figures Q&A

Well, now that Skiffy and MGM are busying putting the nails in SGA's coffin (sorry, every time one of their execs is quoted in the press, it makes me want to throw a brick at them (my foam rubber brick from Universal Studios, that is), but... what will happen to the merchandise?

The books/novels
Magazines
Audio books
Action figures

Don't know about the first three, but there is now a direct way to ask Diamond Select Toys questions, so I think if you want to keep seeing SGA action fiugres (or beg/request/whine/grovel for a particular one, here are the details)

http://www.artasylum.com/question

Once a month, Art Asylum selects a single topic and then group of questions submitted from the fans that go with it. Then, we answer them in the Q&A Blog.

So ask; about what you want to see made, questions for the artists, whatever.


I would say that if anytime is the time to ask about SGA action figures, now is the time, to show the market is still there and we wont' shut up unti we get Becktet, Lorne, Zelenka, Chuck and a few red-shirt anonymous security guard action figures ;)

You can find some questions already answered on

You're not the only one. They need to just SHUT UP for a while - the patronizing attitude is only infuriating their fanbase. :(

I wasn't going to wish harm on the new show, even though I wasn't going to watch it. But their attitude is really making me hope their "newer hipper audience" bites them in the butt.

Boy, I can't wait till these suits get told "you're too old to be a network executive" and get the boot. See how they like it.

I signed it. Did you see that the Multichannel article mentioned it?

I'm sure the magazine is safe for a while, as they will no doubt be covering production on SGU. The novels by Fandemonium will likely continue as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if they start an SGU line. As for the audio dramas, while it hasn't been officially announced yet (to my knoweledge), a couple of people from Big Finish have mentioned on GW that there will be a second series; it'll be just like the first, with 3 stories for SG-1 and 3 for SGA. So we're probably good through the end of '09 at least. :)

I sorta big fat 'ugh' if the SG magazine gets permeated with 'young and deperate' explorers from SGU.... good news on the BigFinish, which I just decided to order.

The Big Finish stuff is separate from MGM/Universal/Sci-Fi as far as I know....

I hope they keep going. Ooh, maybe they can get david hewlett and joe flanigan to do one!
