Full fledged viewing of Marvel-vs-Capcom Minimates and Munsters, the reveal of the Marvel Select Red Skull, tons of Marvel Minimates and barely any Star Trek - it must be the Diamond Select Booth!<\/p>\n

All of the Marvel Select figures looks far better in person than I expected and will probably be buying them all. I especially enjoy the \"build a base\" concept with the movie figures and Gambit's charged-up cards came out super, super cool.<\/p>\n

The Munsters<\/i> figures look incredible, so excited about those! I did ask if they would do 3¾\" figures to go with the upcoming Dragula, but no dice - license doesn't cover that scale. Good forethought, guys. Universal Select Dracula does look much better in person, but still... not only is not<\/b> Lugosi, its far more stylized\/cartoony than the rest of the line... it'll be interesting to see how that does for them...<\/p>\n

The Real Ghostbusters<\/i> Minimates are just too awesome, and they show a surprising but obvious revelation - cartoons translate exceptionally well into Minimate style! Here's hoping for more! Also, the GBs will have their\u00a0 jumpsuits painted on their torsos, similar to the SDCC GB2 boxset<\/a>! I love<\/b> when they do stuff like that!<\/p>\n

The Pirate Minimates should be out mid-April. Wave 2 of the vehicles are a MAX A.P.C., the Pirate Ship, and the BttF II<\/i> Delorean. Once again, Toys R Us will get the \"normal versions\" and specialty market will get repaints. Sadly, the ship will just be minimally repainted, i was hoping for different coloring as with series 1's MAX jet a la The Flying Dutchman in the PotC<\/i> films. Even sadder is that the Delorean will be \"frosted\" again, just like it never appeared in the film.<\/p>\n

On a final note, I apologize on behalf of DST for the poor quality of these photos. They use cylindrical plastic cases which are impossible to not<\/b> get glare from and<\/b> they're scratched up to high heaven. I know money is tight, DST, but you really need new cases.<\/p>\n
