Stargate figurine collectors may have seen the last of the 7” collectables according to producer Diamond Select Toys who have put future releases on an indefinite hold.
“There is a chance you have seen the last of the 7-inch figures from DST,” a rep told fans in a recent Q&A. “We’re not ready to say that but it is possible. Unless something happens to change buyers’ feelings, it’s just not something we can justify in this environment. ”
Since 2006 DST (Diamond Select Toys) has released four series of the popular Stargate SG1 and three series of Atlantis. The next series of figurines including, General George Hammond, Baal, and an Anubis Guard, have already been sculpted but are still pending a release.
The future of the line is in doubt, and whether the last series will ever reach store shelves remains to be seen.

Joseph Mallozzi is a man to listen to when it comes to all things Stargate he has been a member of the production team for over 12 years, and is still working on the upcoming season two of Stargate Universe.
He believes that many fan sites and reputable news sources are weighing in heavily on the future of the Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis franchises, in particularly the fate of the long awaited movies with the wrong information being reported, or twisted slightly so that it reads as something completely different.
Joseph is quoted as saying
Many have weighed in with their assumptions on if and when the movies will be made and, at this point, given that we’ve received no official word either way, all I could add to debate is more conjecture. Suffice it to say I’d love to see both go into production, especially Stargate: Extinction since Paul and I have already written the script and are slated to produced it. As for the sets – the SG-1 set was struck to make room for Icarus Base while other stage space has been freed up in order to create more Destiny sets (as our heroes will eventually discover cool new sections of the ship).
While the Stargate Archive team believe these moves will be produced we have to report any news regarding their production which becomes available, and will always provide relevant news sources to back these up.
Stay tuned to the Stargate Archive for further information as and when it breaks regarding the fate of the movies.

If you mention the name Ronny Cox around many people will scratch their heads and wonder who this man is, and what he has to do with the Stargate Franchise?
Well for anyone in the know will remember him for his appearance as the notorious Senator Richard Kinsey who was for his most part the annoyance of the Stargate SG1 team and the SGC for several seasons.
However it seems the budding actor isn’t content with his 120 onscreen performances alone, he is now moving to back to his original past time of music, his main genre being acoustic folk.
Cox is due to appear on stage at the Caffe C Baptist Church of the Covenant, 2117 University Blvd., Birmingham, $15, 328-0644 on February 11th marking his first onstage performance in a long time.
Ronny is extremely humbled and is quoting as saying
What I discovered is that I do love acting, but I don’t love acting as much as the music. When you act, there’s an imaginary fourth wall; you can’t step off camera or step off the stage. But with music, there’s a possibility of profound one-on-one sharing. That opiate is one of the most powerful things on Earth.
I like playing smaller venues. When I have my druthers, they leave the house lights up. That shapes the performance, and puts you in the best of all possible worlds. By the end of the show, I like to feel that we all know each other. I don’t like performing at people. I’ve always felt that music is a dialogue. The aim for me in these shows is communication.
