The Chops don’t lie!

Zach from Diamond Select Toys and his chops once again bring their A-game once again to Toy Fair. We never leave this booth disappointed with what we see. Zach is always on top of his game and well knowledged with his product.

With so much awesomeness not sure where to begin. Let’s start with Nightmare Before Christmas which is getting a new wave of more obscure characters including Mrs. Claus. Kingdom Hearts has a legend in 3d mickey bust and two new Wisdom form, and Guardian Form Sora.  Ps4 Spiderman is among the new Marvel Selects figures.

Marvel MiniMates get two new lines including the Phoenix X-Men characters and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Lord of The Rings shows off their first three waves and Castlevania gets a series 2 line.  Jay and Silent Bob Select from the reboot movie made their package debut. Some Classic characters from the past like Rocketman join the select line and Vinimates. The Black Hole V.I.N.CENT, B.O.B., and Maximillian get the Select treatment along with some great accessories and build set pieces that come with the figure line.

Statues and Busts were abundant this year and ranged from Marvel to Star Wars, Mortal Kombat, Bruce Lee, DC, and Godzilla. The highlight for me was the Deadpool movie Deadpool on the bridge drawing a picture.

Horror D Formz has a new assortment with The Nun, and Annabelle joining the group. We can’t forget Pennywise Jack in The Box, Dformz, Busts, and some great statues.

With so much great stuff that we saw and stuff hidden behind the curtains (I cannot discuss this but will say you won’t be disappointed) words cannot do justice for what DST brings year to year to Toy Fair. How Can they top this? We will have to wait until next year to find out.
