I was away at Emerald City Comic Con 2019 all last week, but luckily I didn’t miss much, as it’s been ridiculously quiet on the Marvel toy news front. In fact, you could probably see a tumbleweed blow past while the many toy companies out there wait for the okay to reveal their onslaught of Avengers Endgame collectibles. But while there’s still nothing new to report, we’ve got a real blast from the past appearing online: a half dozen-plus previously sold-out Exclusive Marvel Select figures have popped up online–at clearance prices!

Diamond Select Toys has been making Marvel Cinematic Universe characters as part of their line of Marvel Select figures almost from the beginning of the MCU, with only a handful of movies missing toys. DST hasn’t failed to release Marvel Select figures for an MCU movie in nearly half a decade, but it looked like that streak might be snapped by 2018’s last entry. But have no fear, it’s better late than never: the Exclusive Marvel Select Ant-Man and the Wasp figures are now up for order online!

The Marvel Select Captain Marvel that went up for PO earlier this winter proudly debuted, as did a previously unannounced Marvel Gallery PVC statue…
Continue Reading →I’m leaving for New York Toy Fair 2019 tomorrow morning, but before I can even get out the door, companies are beginning to post previews of new products that will be fully unveiled at the event this weekend! One such company is Diamond Select Toys, who have unveiled a superfecta of new Marvel products in the build-up to the show. All four previews are good ones, but there’s one that’s generating more buzz than any of the others: the Marvel Select Sandman figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →UPDATE 1/25/2019: A new image of the recently-announced Psylocke Marvel Select figure has now been released by DST! If the apparent lack of these accessories were putting you off from placing your Marvel Select Psylocke pre-order, it’s time to rethink that decision! What do you think of the new interchangeable head, psyblade and psychic butterfly effect, Marvel collectors?
Continue Reading →While Hasbro has played all their Captain Marvel movie cards already, we’re still waiting to see exactly what kind of love Carol will be getting from some other prominent companies. Diamond Select Toys finally announced the first of their Captain Marvel collectibles this week (almost certainly with more to come), including a figure that most DST fans’ eyes will be fixed upon: the Marvel Select Captain Marvel figure is now up for order—and hey, there’s a Minimates box set too! But wait, is that… a price increase I see…?
Continue Reading →Good figures come to those who wait, and after a lengthy development and production time, Diamond Select Toys is almost ready to unleash the remainder of their Marvel Select Infinity War figures! The Disney Store Exclusive Iron Man shocked everyone by being the first-to-market of the movie figures, but his friends that have been up for order for the better part of a year are arriving soon: Avengers Infinity War Marvel Select Iron Spider, Captain America, Thor & Groot!
Continue Reading →Over half a decade ago, the first review I ever wrote on this site was for the exceptional Marvel Select Venom figure—a figure I still think stands out today as one of the best toys of the character ever. But as that figure has been sold out and unavailable for a while now, many collectors may still need one—and now they’re getting a chance at an updated version: a new Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Select Venom figure is now up for order! And the stylized heads in this set feel anything but rehashed…
Continue Reading →When Diamond Select Toys announced their Marvel Select Avengers Infinity War lineup last winter, it sort of threw most collectors for a loop. Captain America, Thor and… Spider-Man? Would the Big Three be incomplete in MS figure form again? But hold the phone—turns out DST had a trump card hidden up their sleeve: the EXCLUSIVE Marvel Select Infinity War Iron Man figure is now up for order… and it’s shipping before any of their other figures from the movie!
Continue Reading →While the Avengers Infinity War merch train has slowed down quite a bit in the last few months, it hasn’t rolled to a complete stop just yet! After being announced way back in the spring, Diamond Select Toys finally revealed the Marvel Select Infinity War Figures shipping in December 2018 at SDCC. But those who couldn’t attend the show don’t have to rely on con-goer photos anymore—DST has shared the first official hi-res images of Captain America, Iron Spider, Thor and Groot!
Continue Reading →Way back in February at New York Toy Fair 2018, Diamond Select Toys debuted their first new 7″ X-Men figure in quite a while: Mrs. McCoy’s Bouncing Blue Baby Boy! Sometimes it takes up to a year for a Marvel Select figure to reach our doorsteps after it’s been unveiled, but Hank McCoy is bounding into our lives relatively speedily: packaged photos have now been revealed and the Marvel Select Beast figure will be officially released and shipping on September 26th!
Continue Reading →After an extended moratorium on X-Men characters in the Marvel Select figure line, Diamond Select Toys is giving X-fans a lot of love in 2018. At New York Toy Fair 2018 they revealed Beast, and at San Diego Comic Con we got the unexpected reveal of Rogue. We had to wait a month for the solicitation, but the Southern Belle is on the way: Marvel Select Rogue is now up for order! (Oh, and there’s a new Gallery Spider-Man PVC as well…)
Continue Reading →One of the highlights for me at practically every major event where new toys are showcased is the inevitable plethora of new Diamond Select Toys Marvel figures and statues. And at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, DST did not disappoint, as they debuted a multitude of new PVC Marvel Gallery statues (like Mr. Sinister!), several new Marvel Premier statues (like Hobgoblin!), and even an expansion of their 1/2 scale busts (like Spider-Gwen!)!

It’s been a long time since there’s been this level of demand for a Marvel Select figure, that’s for sure! In addition to Thanos, the unmasked Tom Holland Spider-Man Homecoming figure is also still up for order!

But with the embargo on talking about Avengers Infinity War toys still in effect, we got a singular new Marvel Select reveal at the 2018 Toy Fair. Luckily, it’s one fans have been requesting for years: the X-Men Marvel Select Beast figure is now up for order! And Hank McCoy isn’t alone in the new DST solicitations—a brand new Taco Truck Deadpool Marvel Gallery Statue is also on the way!
