SDCC 2015: DST Preview

Diamond Select Toys will have a ton of new stuff on the show floor this week at the SDCC.

If you follow BG at all, then you know all about DST. The company has almost every big time license that you can think of and produces some of the coolest stuff out there. And there’s no end to the form that all this stuff takes either.

You’ll find busts/banks, Minimate figures, statues, board games, and even stuff like bottle openers. Yeah, there isn’t really a lot of stuff that DST doesn’t have a hand in.

One of the biggest showcases of the year for the company is the SDCC, which kicks off this week in San Diego. They have quite a few really great looking Minimates on tap to be displayed for the first time at the show too, including an awesome Aliens assortment with the Power Loader and Alien Queen, as well as Muppets and Nightmare Before Christmas mini-figures.

There’s also quite an impressive lineup of Back to the Future stuff scheduled to be on hand, with Minimates, tumblers, a collector set with the DeLorean, and a board game. If you’re a BttF fan, then you flat out don’t want to skip the DST booth.

Great stuff as usual, and you can scroll on down to check out the full list. And while you can’t buy any of this awesome stuff on the show floor, you can definitely pre-order most of it online, direct from DST, or at your local comics shop. And you can conveniently find one of those, by clicking here.
