Diamond Select Toys’ non-Minimate SDCC panel included a few announcements, a loot at some upcoming items, and a lot of excitement.
Major highlights included the news that the DC Animated Universe Huntress is going to be added to the resin statue line and that DST had picked up the license to make collectibles based on the contemporary animated classic The Iron Giant.
Also shown during the panel were the newly unveiled Marvel Select movie Doctor Strange, a Jessica Jones (in her Jewel persona) PVC statue (which looks great), and some of the Ghostbusters Select ghosts (yes, ghosts!).
For Star Trek fans, the Star Trek Select Khan (Star Trek II) was shown in his alternate seated pose (which uses included alternate parts). There was also news about a Borg figure, although DST resisted showing fans anything so we’ll have to wait futilely until a later convention.
Otherwise a lot of the items were shown in our booth coverage although, at the time, I didn’t call attention to some of the collectibles by name. As an additional, important side-note, we don’t have any booth images of the DCAU Galatea (ie, the Supergirl clone from Justice League Unlimited who had a Powergirl-inspired design). I can’t recall seeing her in previous con coverage either, and it’s really awesome that she’d somehow make it into a line.
