Toy Fair is an annual trade show where hundreds of toy companies get together to showcase their latest innovations for buyers and press. The following is a photo recap from the Diamond Select booth. To see the rest of our coverage, click HERE.
I walked around the Diamond Select Toys area for about a minute before I was informed that it was a closed booth and I needed an appointment for a walkthrough. While their schedule was packed, they were gracious enough to squeeze me in for a quick photo tour. Next year I will plan ahead to schedule a video interview because there was certainly a lot to on display, such as the Spider above from SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING.
Being a Marvel collector, their DOCTOR STRANGE statue will definitely have a home on my shelves whenever it is officially released this Fall. The Captain America and Iron Man statues are both equally amazing but I do get the impression their bases may look a little weird when separated. Speaking of connected bases, I really wish the Gallery Edition statues of the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY shared this feature. The Rocket / Gamora and Drax / Baby Groot statues could possibly work together but Star Lord breaks up the pack. Regardless, all three are absolutely incredible pieces and at under $50 each, they are an absolute steal. In fact, all the Gallery Edition statues are pretty amazing; I just wish they were in a slightly larger scale to match the rest of my collection.
DST seems to be going all in on A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS with dozens of items on display. The Collector Editions of Jack & Sally in coffin packaging look pretty fantastic, as do the other figure displays such as Halloweentown Jack.
I am not sure how much I can say about the figures that I was instructed not to photograph but let’s just say the PULP FICTION line is just getting started and will soon be joined by some other Tarantino films. As for everything else I am allowed to share, check out the pics below…
