NYCC ’24: DST prepping panels, exclusives, and more

As show-goers well know, Diamond Select’s Con booths are typically ones you want to visit, and this year’s NYCC looks no different.

Ready for the big show

With New York Comic Con right around the corner, Diamond Select has dropped a look at what it’ll have on tap. It’s a list that includes booth happenings, as well as what looks like a can’t-miss panel, and giveaways and contests. That all shapes up to equal a lot for DST fans to dig into, and yes it does include some exclusive items to buy.

Fans who stop at the booth (# 3135) will be able to pick up a Marvel Animated-Style Hallows’ Eve Statue ($65 USD). Plus, if you’re feeling a little extra very nice and very evil, there’s also an AEW Danhausen Vinimate. Though the wrestler hasn’t been seen on AEW programming for a while, DST’s vinyl figure should be a slick collectible for fans. He’s even going to be there in person (this Friday and Saturday) to sign ’em.

Again though, exclusives are just a part of the show for DST, and you can check out the full list of highlights below.
