After their attendance at last month's Toy Fair, fans of Diamond Select Toys are no doubt wondering when we will get more news on the goodies the company had on display. DST recently released additional information on many of those toys, set to release this Summer, plus some extra surprises! Ready? Here we go!
The new Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare action figures particularly caught my eye. The figures accurately resembled the characters in the game as well. It is really very impressive. There are four Plants vs. Zombies Action Figure sets, each with different zombie and plant plus accessories and weapons. Each set will cost US$24.99. There will also be a series of Minimates, DST's posable collectable mini-figures, themed to Plants vs. Zombies. Costing US$19.99, the set of four will include the Cactus, Peashooter, All-Star Zombie, and Engineer Zombie.
Don't think that those are the only Minimates coming up. Summer will also see the release of Battle Beasts Series 2, featuring Giraffe and Hammerhead, Cow and Bear, Cobra and Bat, and Anubis and Thrush. Each pack will cost US$9.99. Joining them will be the premier release of Pulp Fiction Minimates Series 1, featuring a two-pack of Jules and Vincent costing US$9.99. Also debuting is the Sin City Minimates Series 1 Box Set (US$19.99), which will contain figures of Hartigan, Nancy, Senator Roark, and the Yellow Bastard. Fans of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back will recognize the Minimates four-pack (US$19.99) featuring Bluntman, Chronic, Chaka Luther King, and Cock-Knocker.
Just in case that wasn't enough Jay and Silent Bob for you, there will be Retro Cloth Action Figures of Bluntman and Chronic (US$19.99), with fabric costumes and removable weapons. And rounding out our toy line-up is the Batman Classic TV Series Joker Bust (US$59.99). If you are a fan of Cesar Romero's portrayal of the popular comic book baddie, this bust is for you.
While you may have to wait until summer to own all this sweetness, the good news is much of it is up for pre-order at Diamond Select Toys' online store.
