Yeah, true, DST is definitely leading the pack when it comes to their bases and dios.

Since I've all but lost interest in most of McFarlane's offerings these days, I'm not sure if they're still releasing dioramas to go along with their figures, but over a decade ago, it wasn't uncommon for them to release some pretty impressive dios.

The Matrix Reloaded mansion set was a favorite of mine, at the time, although I sold it a few years ago .
And, the piece that came with the Alien Queen, which had the chestburster clawing its way out of the torso of a very Ripley-esque human, was such a great addition to that figure !

Would be nice to see McFarlane release some huge sets, like the bridge or transporter room of the Enterprise, to go along with these new figures, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.
