A Minimate Galactus with a minuscule Silver Surfer flying over his shoulder? Yes, please! This is but one of four figures that are available soon in the Toys "R" Us-Exclusive Heralds of Galactus box set from Diamond Select Toys freakishly popular Minimates line. Fans voted through an online poll for the toys to be included in this set, so if you voted then we suppose you're obligated to buy one. Bring the Devourer of Worlds home and set him on your shelf where he can look cute--and plot the eventual demise of the universe. Read more...

2011's New York Comic-Con is coming up fast. From October 13 through 16 we will be bringing you a ridiculous amount of coverage, which will include anything and everything about toys! Diamond Select Toys will have plenty of newsworthy goodies to the show including four different exclusive releases from their Femme Fatales, Minimates, and all-new Maximum Zombies lines!

Diamond Select Toys likes to think of its convention appearances as one long goodwill tour of America, bringing sneak peeks of its products and new, exclusive toys to different parts of the country. And this year's journey, having already stretched from Chicago's C2E2 to San Diego's Comic-Con, is now coming to an end in New York City, at the 2011 New York Comic-Con! Taking place at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan from October 13-16, the convention is the East Coast's biggest pop-culture gathering, and in addition to their famous Minimates panel (2:45 on Saturday, in Room 1A15), this year will be the home to four very cool exclusive DST products, including the two great Marvel Comics products and the first offerings from a brand-new line of Minimates!

These are based on the recent film incarnation of the Odinson and the set includes some of the major players.

Disney’s merger at Marvel means one thing for toy fans: now when you’re with your kids at the mall, you can find some toys for yourselves in that ever-so-brightly-lit store of wonder! We recently posted a preview of the Marvel Select Hawkeye figure, and now Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum are bringing out a Disney Store-exclusive set of Minimates! Yep, the main characters of the new FF comic are packaged together and will be sharing shelf space with the likes of Cinderella and Buzz Lightyear! They’ll debut during San Diego Comic Con at the local Disney Store location, so they’re kind of an SDCC exclusive as well… in a manner of thinking.
