A new year is upon us in 2021, but even with the new year and the president, we can still rest assured that the consistency of a new round of Diamond Select Toys Marvel solicitations will come each and every month. And this month, while there’s no Marvel Select figure news, there are new additions for fans of the rest of DST’s lines: the Marvel Animated Gamora statue, Premier Collection Lizard statue and Marvel Gallery Wolverine PVC figure are all now up for order!

Yesterday I covered the figures and statues in the Diamond Select Toys October 2020 solicitations, and now it’s time to finish the job by looking at the two new Marvel busts that they’ll be adding to their lineups in early 2021: the 1/2 scale Legends in 3D Carnage Bust and X-Men Animated Rogue Bust are now up for order! These are two headliner characters being captured in value-priced bust lines for the first time in over a decade—are they must-haves?

This year has definitely been a little bit on the light side when it comes to new Marvel Select figures being revealed, but this week Diamond Select Toys revealed a character that’s all-new to the line: the Marvel Select Human Torch figure is now up for order! But will this figure be as hot as Johnny Storm’s flame? And that’s not all DST has cooked up: Marvel Gallery Storm and Marvel Premier Collection Logan statues are also on the way!

2020 has been an unusually slow year for Marvel Select collectors, with only two new figures shown by Diamond Select Toys in the first half of the year: comic book and movie versions of a Taskmaster Select figure. But during the online Comic Con festivities last month, an all-new comics-based figure debuted–and today, he’s officially solicited: the Marvel Select Rampaging Hulk figure is now up for order! And if the size of this 9.75″ behemoth of a figure doesn’t fans’ attention–he’s got a Cosmic/Robot Hulk interchangeable head that will!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been five years already, but it has now been half a decade since Diamond Select Toys launched their modern Marvel Premier Collection line of resin statues. The second piece in the 2015 line was a classic Thor statue that made up half of a diorama—and five years later, we’re finally getting the second half! The long-awaited Clayburn Moore Marvel Premier Collection Silver Surfer statue is now up for order—and for those who missed it years ago, a new run of Thor is being reissued as well!

Like many lines of Marvel collectibles, it’s been a slow start to 2020 for the long-running Marvel Select range of 7″ action figures. The only new figure shown in the first months of the year was a Black Widow movie Taskmaster Select in the spring. But in a surprise move this week, the second new release of the year was also revealed–and it’s also Taskmaster (this time, comic book-styled)! The Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Select Taskmaster is now up for order–but he’s carrying the highest price-point ever in the line! Let’s take a look…

It’s a weird time to be a DC Direct collector, as DC Direct decided to cut ties with Diamond Distributors this week. Luckily, all is peachy as usual in the world of Diamond Select Toys Marvel collectibles—and in fact, DST even closed out this week with the announcement of two all-new statue solicitations! Skottie Young and Wolverine fans will all be happy: Marvel Animated Doctor Doom and Marvel Premier Collection Old Man Logan statues are now up for order!

Earlier this weekend, I discussed the two brand new items in the latest round of Marvel Diamond Select Toys solicitations—but that pairing isn’t all that DST has up their sleeves! While we haven’t seen an actual new Marvel Select figure announced since movie Taskmaster at the start of the year (a new one is expected to be revealed next week, though), Diamond has two mass re-releases of previously hard-to-get exclusive figures: Marvel Select Planet Hulk & Modern Thanos figures are now up for order!

San Diego Comic-Con May have been cancelled quite a while ago now, but that doesn’t mean that companies planning SDCC 2020 Exclusives have suddenly thrown all their hard work preparing special products for the show out the window! Instead, we’re seeing quite a few companies move this year’s convention exclusives to an online distribution method—including Diamond Select Toys. And their first Marvel SDCC 2020 Exclusives are now up for order: Marvel Gallery Negative Suit Spider-Man and a Zombie Deadpool Bust!

2020 has been a slow year thus far for Marvel Select figures, with only a singular figure (Black Widow movie Taskmaster) revealed during the first 5 months of the year. And while Diamond Select Toys hasn’t announced or rolled out any more all-new figures just yet, they do have something of a treat for newer collectors to help fill the void: reissues of the previously-exclusive Marvel Select Hulkbuster Iron Man and Mighty Thor figures are now up for order! And on an unrelated note–there’s an all-new Marvel Gallery Spider-Man PVC as well…

While Diamond Select Toys brought a plethora of showings to New York Toy Fair 2020 in February (as always), one line that was definitely a bit underrepresented at NYTF was the long-running Marvel Select figure series… which had exactly zero new figures displayed at the event. It’s been pretty quiet Select-wise ever since, but finally there’s some news to get excited about: the Marvel Select Taskmaster movie figure currently up for order has now been revealed! And Black Widow movie delay or no, he’s still scheduled to arrive this summer!

Just when I thought I had exhausted my supply of Diamond Select Toys photos from New York Toy Fair 2020, the announcement of the Black Widow Minimates for the new movie reminded me I needed to jump back and talk about the new Minimates reveals that premiered at Toy Fair last month! So all in one shot, let’s check out the upcoming Marvel Minimates, including the Series 80 Spy-related characters, Series 81 Dark Phoenix figures wave, and the Walgreens exclusive Minimates for the Black Widow movie!

Two Marvel topics guaranteed to get me warm and fuzzy are Marvel mini busts and the various 90s animated cartoon series (headlined by the X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons). I never thought those two facets would come together—but thanks to Diamond Select Toys, now they have! The low-priced Jim Lee Cyclops bust kicking off the line just shipped out, with guaranteed hits like Wolverine and Magneto coming up fast. And at Toy Fair, DST expanded their offerings further by debuting Spider-Man, Deadpool, Mysterio and more!

While Diamond Select Toys brought along a sizable assortment of all new Marvel Gallery statues to premiere at New York Toy Fair for PVC collectors, that doesn’t mean they were ignoring their fans of higher-end resin pieces! DST also publicly displayed a half-dozen new resin Marvel Premier Collection statues at Toy Fair 2020, including Rhino, Bullseye, movie Deadpool, Colossus, Old Man Logan and more! In a world where most resin statue prices are exploding, are these new value-priced entries worth a look when they go up for order this year?
