Battle Beasts Retailer Incentive – Stealth Vorin

Retailers who ordered 25 copies of the first issue of Battle Beasts from IDW Publishing got this Minimates Stealth Vorin. Battle Beasts is an ambitious undertaking, with Diamond Select Toys and IDW launching the toys and the comic book meant to promote them at the same time. Talyn had reservations about trading on the vintage toy line Battle Beast’s name – regardless of the name, I hope the toy plus comic book approach sees success, as I’d like to see more opportunities for smaller toy companies to succeed with original, non-licensed brands.

You can get more Battle Beasts pics and info – like the Battle Beasts Facebook page.

SDCC 2012: Thundercats Minimates Box Set Pics from Diamond Select Toys

I really like what DST is doing with their promo pics these days – looks like they’re having fun actually playing with their figures!

Looks like Snarf is a slug rather than an actual Minimate. That’s better than what I expected, as I thought perhaps he’d be the same size as the other TCats.

Coming from Icon Heroes, available at Action Figure Xpress Booth 3345!

Disney Store Swings Two Marvel Select Amazing Spider-Man Exclusives

I haven’t been to a Disney Store in a while – since long before the Marvel acquisition. Have they had a lot of Marvel items on the shelves?

Like flies caught in a web, everyone is buzzing about the new Amazing Spider-Man movie, and Diamond Select Toys has already put out some amazing collectables based on the film! In addition to a movie-inspired series of their popular Minimates mini-figures, DST also recently shipped their Marvel Select Spider-Man and Lizard action figures to comic shops and specialty stores. Well, now MarvelStore.com, DisneyStore.com and physical Disney Store locations will have two special editions of Spidey, as well!

The first exclusive Marvel Select figure will be a version of Spider-Man with interchangeable gloveless hands, plus an interchangeable unmasked Peter Parker head, featuring the likeness of Andrew Garfield. The other exclusive figure will be an entirely metallic version of the regular Spidey figure, depicting the extra-shiny side of the new, big-screen Spidey-suit! Look for both special editions to arrive on MarvelStore.com, DisneyStore.com and Disney Store shelves in early July!

Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select Rhino – MTV Geek Exclusive

MTV Geek has got the goods on the latest Marvel Select announcement from Diamond Select Toys – none other than Rhino, a frequent opponent of Spider-Man, the Hulk, and more recently, Deadpool – all of whom have had their own figures released in the Select line. Looks like Gentle Giant has knocked this one out of the park, sculpt-wise. I’m hoping we’ll see thigh swivels on the final figure.

More info and pics at MTV Geek.

Marvel Select Unleashes the Rhino!

The Hulk. The Thing. The Abomination. The Juggernaut. Diamond Select Toys oversized Marvel Select action figures have been dazzling collectors for years, and now they’re ready to do it again… with the Rhino!

Designed and sculpted by Gentle Giant, the leather-skinned Spider-Man foe stands over 8 inches tall with 16 points of articulation, and is ready to tear through your Marvel Select collection like tissue paper. If you dont feel like having him stomp Spider-Man on your shelf, he will come ready to display in the now-famous Select collector packaging.

Pre-order him today at your local comic shop or your favorite online toy store, and look for him to hit stores in early 2013!
