SDCC 2013: Diamond Select & Previews Exclusives

AND WE CONTINUE with the one company that always has the top geek licenses of the moment, and of all time. You can always count on Diamond Select Toys (booth #2607) to be making things you'll lust after with the passion of 1000 burning suns and then pass onto your children one day. Since San Diego Comic Con is the biggest geek gathering on the planet, Diamond knows their exclusives need to be exciting enough to cause a dork-pede as the doors open. I'd say they did fairly well this year! Let's dive right in...


Marvel Minimates Wolverine Saga Box Set - $20
This box set includes four different Minimates spotlighting different moments in Wolverine's life. Symbiote Wolverine depicts the New Avenger when he was possessed by a Venom clone, Spacesuit Wolverine shows him in his frequently utilized space armor, Ultimate Wolverine is his well-known Ultimate Universe counterpart and Logan-san in Japanese Robes shows him circa his engagement to Mariko Yashida. Each Minimate stands 2 inches tall, with a variety of interchangeable parts and accessories, including a shirtless look for Logan-San, and removable helmet and armor for Spacesuit Wolverine, to reveal a modern Wolverine costume!








Star Wars R2-B1 Vinyl Bank - $23
This year's Comic-Con International exclusive Star Wars bank is R2-B1, one of the astromech droids assigned to the Royal Shuttle of Naboo, and tragically lost while making repairs during a battle. The 10-inch vinyl bank has a coin slot on the back for inserting change and an access door on the bottom. Sculpted in 1:4 scale, R2-B1 is in scale to DST's Yoda bank, Jawa bank, and all of their Ultimate Quarter Scale action figures. Limited to only 1500 pieces.


Star Trek Cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey - $60
This year's Comic-Con exclusive will be a fully cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey, a variation on the most recent electronic starship from Diamond Select. As seen in numerous Star Trek films as well as the Next Generation TV series, the cloaked Bird of Prey is cast entirely in transparent plastic, and has had all of its electronics removed, rendering it virtually invisible! Like the regular edition, it measures 12 inches long with a 19-inch wingspan, but it comes with a transparent display base as well as translucent landing gear, so you can land it in the public park of your choice.
The ship has been limited to only 200 pieces. Window boxed.



Also available at the Diamond booth, as well as other select booths across the convention floor, you'll find several Previews exclusives including...
