BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Some very cool stuff was shown off last week by Diamond Select Toys, including classic properties that are brand new for the company.
Selecting a line
Never failing to surprise is Diamond Select Toys, who’ve got another great looking series of announcements, this time for fall 2021. Yeah, there might not be a Toy Fair this year, but that doesn’t mean that the company doesn’t have some cool stuff to talk about.
For now, and I’m sure there’s a lot more to come, DST is talking up its line of statues and dioramas. Mostly. There’s also a pretty bug announcement in the form of Transformers Minimates.
This marks the first time that the legendary Cybertronian IP has made its way to the mini-figure form-factor, and the first offering is looking great. Expect the initial wave to consist of one box set, stocked with the likes of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, and Shockwave. No, there’s no Megatron. That’s what a second set (not yet announced) would be for.
Heres’s the full listing of what’s on the way:
