Diamond Select Toys previewed Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, Godzilla, and other new releases at Toy Fair. Here’s a brief summary of those planned releases, most of which have yet to hit Previews.
In conjunction with the release of Captain America 2: The Winter Solder, Diamond Select will release a line of Marvel Select movie figures, including this version of Falcon.
For their Star Trek line, DST will release a new version of the Enterprise A ship, with Star Trek 6 accurate paint, sounds, and lights. A new replica of the Star Trek III: The Search for Spock phaser was teased for winter.
For Aliens, there are two planned metal bottle openers, including a 4-inch Alien Head in May, and a Pulse Rifle Bottle Opener in fall.
Two new Star Wars metal bottle openers are also planned: a 4-inch Boba Fett model will be out in June, and a magnetic 4-inch TIE Fighter model will be available in the fall.
This fall, Diamond Select will be reviving U.S.-made classic Godzilla movie characters (a la Trendmasters) with more figural and bust banks in their Godzilla Classic 1989 line, including Ghidora, the Three-Headed Monster, and this "Burning Mode" Godzilla.
Another fun item will be this metal Mecha Godzilla bottle opener. A Mecha Godzilla figure and bust bank are also in the works. A box set of Godzilla Minimates--featuring Godzilla, Mothra, Gigan and Titanosaurus, was teased as well.
In the Universal Monsters line, a new set of figures and banks (including the Metaluna Mutant) will arrive in the fall, around Halloween. Pictured here are three of the new figures: The Creature, Son of Frankenstein, and Diamond Select’s own unique take on Abraham Van Helsing. The new Creature figure will feature more points of articulation than the previously released figure.
For The Walking Dead, Series 6 of the Minimates for summer release were teased, and as they follow the comic book, this series will feature Douglas Monroe, Rick and Michonne in new outfits, and Karl. Also in the fall will be this vinyl bank of the second of Michonne’s chained pet zombie.
For Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Diamond Select plans new 7-inch action figures, Minimates, and retro-style 8-inch figures with deluxe cloth costumes.
For the original Sin City action movie, and to capitalize on the release of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Minimates and these 7-inch action figures are planned.
For Ghostbusters this summer, this battle-damaged, 11-inch Stay Puff Marshmallow Man bank will arrive.
Battle Beasts Minimates Series 2 will also release this summer.
Diamond also previewed three new licensed Monopoly games, set in the world of their respective movies: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Back to the Future, and Sin City (see "Diamond-Alliance Plan New 'Monopoly' Games").
