Remember when Marvel Select figures were almost like statues, with a few swivel cuts here and there? DST may be limited to 16 points of articulation on Select figures, but with the new style joints, they’ve got ridiculously good movement these days. The Mark 42 and War Machine figures are great examples, as illustrated by the new pics that DST has shared. I’m looking forward to seeing their Iron Patriot, and I wonder if the second exclusive they’ve teased will have a more feminine appeal.
Iron Man 3 is less than one month away, and Diamond Select Toys is hard at work on their Marvel Select action figures for the movie! Iron Man Mark 42 and War Machine were designed by Gentle Giant based on digital data from the film, and will stand approximately 7.5″ tall with 16 points of articulation.
Each will include an armor bay diorama base, and come packaged in DST’s display-ready Select figure packaging. They’ll be exclusively available at comic shops and specialty stores starting this summer, so check out these new photos and pre-order today! And stay tuned for news on the exclusive Iron Patriot figure and a second exclusive figure to be revealed!
A great mix of Hasbro and Toy Biz Marvel Legends Avengers face off against the Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Select Ultron, in this humorous MSH: What The–?! video from Marvel that highlights the greatest challenge of the always-connected gadget. Enjoy!

I’d been looking for additional shots of the Marvel Select Wolverine figure after seeing a composite in the latest BBTS sponsored news post, and found them, and a short video clip, on Diamond Comic Distributors pseudo-news site, Toy Chest News. This figure should reach shelves in late August, about a month after the movie opens on July 26.
