DST Unleashes C2E2 Plans & Exclusives!

With the dawn of a new decade comes another exciting year of comic book and pop culture fan gatherings – and 2010 is already shaping up to be one of the biggest and best convention seasons on record! With both the San Diego Comic Con and New York Comic Con events already on the schedule for July and October respectively, we’re excited to announce our attendance at what is sure to be the largest and most extravagant convention in the Midwest – the first annual Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo – C2E2!

Operated by convention veterans Reed Exhibitions (of New York Comic Con fame) and housed in downtown Chicago’s spacious McCormick Place, C2E2 is already shaping up to be one of the year’s premier shows thanks to an all-star guest list, special event programming and a host of convention exclusives – including two from Diamond Select Toys!

DST’s exclusive delivers two of the stars of this spring’s upcoming blockbuster Iron Man 2 in Minimate form! The Iron Man 2 Stark Expo Minimates Two-Pack will only be available at this show and features Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark and Scarlett Johannson’s Natalie Romanova as they appear during the fictional Stark Expo event. Each Minimate two-pack will retail at the show for $8.00.

A second convention exclusive will also be available through Action Figure Xpress in the form of the Iron Man 2 Battle Tactics Minimates Box Set. This con-only set includes battle damaged versions of both Iron Man and War Machine plus Racecar Tony Stark and the first-ever Iron Man 2 Nick Fury!

As always, DST will have personnel manning the booth to interact with fans and showcase upcoming releases – including a few surprises like our daily 2010 C2E2 Minimate giveaway! Stay tuned for more updates and programming announcements as this monumental geek event approaches!

Diamond Select Toys Announces More Ghostbuster Minimates

A week ago, @DSTMatt tweeted that “The Carpathian cometh…” – now it’s confirmed that we’ll be getting a Vigo the Carpathian Minimate from the Ghostbuster line. You will buy his Minimate – Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, commands you!

More Ghostbusters Exclusives Coming to Toys ‘R’ Us!

In just a few short weeks, fans of Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum will be able to take their Ghostbusters Minimates collections to an entirely new level thanks to the latest batch of exclusive Ghostbusters Minimates only available from Toys ‘R’ Us! This new assortment will deliver eight new Minimates and complete two sets started in previous waves as well as four new villains – including Vigo himself!

The first two-pack will feature the brilliant Egon Spengler in his Ghostbusters 2 uniform (the last missing Ghostbuster in that style) paired with the Titanic Ghost seen captaining the ill-fated luxury liner in the second Ghostbusters film. Two exclusive sets will complete the Courtroom set started with last year’s Peter Venkman by pairing Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler with the dreaded Scolari Brothers – Nunzio and Tony. The final set combines two of our favorite Ghostbusters 2 characters: the near-unstoppable Vigo the Carpathian and Peter Venkman in his “World of the Psychic” ensemble – which of course includes his signature hairless cat!

All four of these exclusive sets will be available in Toys ‘R’ Us stores nationwide and serve as perfect compliments to the previously-released Ghostbusters Minimates sets currently available in comic and specialty stores. Look for these two-packs in the weeks to come and be sure to check out the latest updates from DiamondSelectToys.com and ArtAsylum.com as the Ghostbusters Minimate universe expands to new heights!

Marvel Select War Machine WIP Pics

Art Asylum has posted some in progress pics of the Marvel Select War Machine from the Iron Man 2 movie. They snuck in a pic of the War Machine Minimate too. 😀

I think the Don Cheadle likeness is spot on, and the armor looks great. I may have to pick this and Iron Man up – they’re due out March 3.
