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.

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!

Diamond Select Toys Avengers Movie – Marvel Select Hulk and Minimates

You might think that the price point on the Hot Toys Avengers movie figures is a little too rich for your blood. Or maybe you want something to satisfy that Avengers craving *today*. If so, DST has a couple of new releases on shelves now.

I’m thinking that the Marvel Select Hulk could capture Mark Ruffalo’s likeness a little better, but I don’t really mind. This Hulk has an ab tilt and swivel, two fists, bicep swivels, and DC Universe Classics hips. Innovation is allowing DST to cram more functional points of articulation into the limit prescribed by their license. Kudos to the designers!

And if you’re looking to army build a Chitauri invasion force, Minimates might be the way to go. Might also be the only way to get a movie Maria Hill figure.

Marvel Select Gambit Packaged Pics

I am not a Gambit fan. He was introduced in X-Men during the explosion in comics “investing” – let’s face it – there weren’t a lot of good comic books or comic book characters that came out of that period in the early 90’s. That said, there’s something about these figures that capture the douchebaggery that I envision when it comes to Gambit. I suppose that’s probably a positive for the Gambit fans out there.

Get Ready for the Gambit Marvel Select Figure

Here it is, the newest Marvel Select Figure: Gambit! Available as the regular edition or a variant long hair version. This figure features Marvel Select’s standard 16 points of articulation, as well as multiple hands and accessories.  Gambit comes with a similarly themed Danger Room base to our Cyclops figure, allowing collectors to create a mini diorama! Look for it at a specialty store near you!
