While Black Friday 2018 has only just arrived,the way things are these days, most of us have already seen all of the big sales for the “event” and already placed our orders before the clock even clicked over from Thanksgiving. So rather than focusing on “deals” this Black Friday, let’s look ahead to the future! Just in time for the holidays this week, Diamond Select Toys released their April 2019 solicitations: Marvel Gallery Ebony Maw & Angela and the Legends in 3D Spider-Gwen Bust are now up for order!

In this day and age where the majority of resin “high-end” statues being produced run half a grand and up, Diamond Select Toys has taken it upon themselves to produce the widest-ranging value-priced line of comic book PVC statues ever. I’ve been one of the most outspoken advocates for the Marvel Gallery statues since they debuted at New York Toy Fair 2016, but I’ve never actually reviewed one—until now. Though the 13” Marvel Gallery Infinity War Thor Statue costs under 45 bucks shipped, it ended up as one of my favorite pieces of Thor merch from the movie…
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 →Believe it or not, even after discussing the waterfall of new product solicitations from Diamond Select Toys last week, there’s still more upcoming DST Marvel statues left to discuss! Along with displaying their huge Marvel Milestones Thanos and Thor statues that are already up for order, Diamond Select also displayed all-new statues of Kitty Pryde, Ghost Rider and the Punisher at New York Comic Con 2018!
Continue Reading →Having already talked about all the various live-action MCU and Netflix statues that Diamond Select Toys solicited earlier this week, that just leaves two left to discuss: the comic-based duo! One of these we first saw debuted at San Diego Comic Con, and the other is an all-new reveal that we won’t be able to get our mitts on until Free Comic Book Day 2019—the Marvel Gallery Thor and Symbiote Spider-Man statues!
Continue Reading →DST hit Marvel collectors hard this week with a big batch of new product solicitations, including a mighty SIX additions to the Gallery statues line! I discussed the new movie statues yesterday, and today it’s time to shine the spotlight onto their Netflix cousins! After debuting at GameStop, the Defenders Gallery statues are getting a wide release this winter. And DST isn’t just bringing us PVC—coming our way in early 2019 as part of the Marvel Premier Collection, the first-ever resin Netflix Daredevil Statue is now up for order!
Continue Reading →While there was absolutely no shortage of Avengers Infinity War collectibles released this year, some important characters from the film still got the shaft merch-wise. The Black Order is among those characters—especially Ebony Maw and Corvus Glaive. Both those characters will be getting love from Hasbro in 2019, but at least one of them is getting his first statue as well: the DST Marvel Gallery Corvus Glaive figure is now up for order! And he’ll be joined by a certain unmasked King of Wakanda…
Continue Reading →While the much talked-about Sideshow Psylocke Premium Format Figure will be going up for sale tomorrow (for a cool $585 plus shipping), fear not, Marvel statue collectors who can’t afford to drop more than half a grand on every piece! Diamond Select Toys is coming to the rescue again, with an all-new resin Marvel Premier Collection Hobgoblin Statue for just 135 bucks shipped! And a sweet tune for the PVC fans: a Marvel Gallery Black Cat PVC!
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 →Today I’m going to interrupt the seemingly never-ending stream of 2018 Marvel Legends figures that I still have to write reviews for to talk about a statue I’ve been looking forward to writing a review for for almost a year! I analyzed the outstanding Cable companion piece last month, and now it’s Deadpool’s turn! Is the 11” Marvel Premier Collection Deadpool statue worth 135 bucks shipped, or is Cable better off all by his lonesome?
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 →It seems like hardly a week goes by when there’s not some new high-end Marvel Statue to talk about that costs a half a grand (or more!). But fear not, collectors who love statues but don’t love spending exorbitant amounts of cash on them: Diamond Select Toys has you covered with their reasonably-priced resin and PVC statue lines. And their latest release just might be their best one to-date: the 16” Marvel Premier Collection Cable Statue is finally beginning to ship out!
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!)!
Continue Reading →Diamond Select Toys is expanding their range of Marvel statues faster than any other company in the collecting landscape, and that trend continues the latest round of solicitations. After unveiling their first-ever Marvel 1:2 (half-scale) bust in the spring with a very impressive Deadpool, DST has their second entry ready to launch: the Marvel Venom Bust is now up for order! But those who prefer their traditional full statue resin offerings to busts aren’t left out in the cold, as Premier Collection Lady Deadpool is on the scene as well…
