0 on Diamond Select Toys Comic Batwoman Gallery reviewVideo courtesy of my site Comics Now I'm not the world's biggest Batwoman fan, but I enjoyed her well enough at the beginning of James Tynion's run on Detective Comics. DST's Batwoman Gallery PVC statue is an excellent take on the comic Batwoman, so if you're a fan, it's worth checking out. Watch the video above for my…
Diamond Select Toys' Vinimates may not have quite the following as that other vinyl powerhouse, but they have a charm all their own. I have a growing collection on my shelves, and when I saw that DST would be producing Batman, Joker, and Bane from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, I knew I would have to…
Diamond Select has been knocking it out of the park with their Nolanverse stuff lately. I already reviewed Batman a short while ago, and a Vinimate review is forthcoming, but today is all about Gotham’s reckoning. Video courtesy of Comics Now. DISCLAIMER: Batman News received this collectible from the manufacturer for the purpose of review.…
Harley Quinn is huge. I'm sure I've used this joke before, but you can't throw a crowbar at a comic convention without hitting at least six Harley cosplayers. And with being huge comes merchandise, and Diamond Select Toys has put out quite a few Harley collectibles in recent years. Some of them, I've been absolutely…
San Diego Comic-Con is rapidly approaching, and with that comes the onslaught of exclusives. Diamond Select Toys has taken the plunge and showed off what we'll find in their booth, including a couple of DC items. A turtle dressed as Batman? We're in. SDCC 2019 DC TMNT MICHELANGELO AS BATMAN ACTION FIGURE – DC COLLECTIBLES…
Video courtesy of my site, Comics Now. Used with permission (duh). Diamond Select's Gallery line is a great value at $45. At that price, it's tough to find too much to complain about. The sculpts are always excellent, and I usually have a "I can't believe it's plastic" feeling after looking at them. The paint is decent,…
Injustice 2 has been out for a while now, but as things usually go, new merchandise continues to trickle out. After producing some dynamite Vinimates based on the game (including an amazing Black Manta), Diamond Select Toys is back at it with two GameStop-exclusive Gallery statues. Look for my review of Batman in the coming…
If you've ever been to any flavor of Comic Con, then you know that there are a few universal truths. For example, one cannot throw a disparaging glare without hitting a Harley Quinn. One also cannot throw a Harley Quinn without hitting some manner of vinyl collectible. Funko's Pop! line is clearly the favorite in…
A silent guardian. A watchful protector. A dark knight. Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is widely considered the greatest on-screen take on Gotham's favorite son. Sure, like any interpretation, it has its detractors, but the aggregate sentiment seems to swing Nolan's way. You can count me among the faithful, so when Diamond Select announced last year…
Toy Fair is way bigger than comic book characters, but the footprint for comic-based toys—and in particular toys and collectibles based on Batman and the wider DC Universe—is huge. And one of the biggest toes in that footprint is Diamond Select Toys. Their lines of DC Gallery PVC statues, resin busts, and Vinimates are already…
If you’d rather read about it, check out the transcript below. Billy Batson is coming to the big screen in just a few short months, so it’s the perfect time for Diamond Select Toys to release their new Shazam Gallery—a sweet interpretation of the modern comics take on the original Captain Marvel. As with all…
Not as good as the GameStop-exclusive Manta, but still excellent. If you don't feel like watching the video, check the transcript and photos below. The Aquaman film is a smash success, and looks to be bringing in even more in the days ahead. Before the holidays, I looked at Diamond Select’s amazing GameStop-exclusive Black Manta…
Aquaman is here, and with it comes the first on-screen interpretation of Arthur’s Curry’s most infamous nemesis, Black Manta. The film does an excellent job with both aesthetics and characterization, and Diamond Select Toys are commemorating this occasion with a GameStop-exclusive Gallery PVC statue. They sent one to Batman News for review, so let’s take…
Diamond Select Toys' popular Gallery line of PVC statues welcomes the stars of the CW's DC TV offerings, with new Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl pieces. If you're a fan of the Arrowverse, these may have already caught your eye. But are they worth the (admittedly very affordable) price tag? Read on. The Green Arrow Stephen…
It's the yearquarter of Aquaman! With his first major motion picture scheduled for December, and his first major crossover arc since Throne of Atlantis beginning last month with Drowned Earth, the once and (presumably) future king of Atlantis is going big for the end of 2018. Diamond Select Toys has been trickling out an entire wave of…
Do you remember Dark Nights: Metal? Do you remember it fondly? Did you like all those plum-crazy Bruces Wayne cosplaying as their Justice League teammates? If nothing else, Metal was a loud, nutso ball of energy that set up Scott Snyder's run on Justice League—including the introduction of the Batman Who Laughs. The Batman Who Laughs comes from…
DST's Vinimates are one of the most under-appreciated collectible lines on the market. Like Minimates—only larger and not posable—Vinimates are a delightful riff on beloved characters from a variety of pop culture properties. The DC Vinimates are outstanding, featuring great takes on Injustice 2, Justice League, and the comics. And now Diamond has revealed to Batman News that,…
As I've no doubt mentioned elsewhere, I have an interesting history with DST's Vinimates line. When I first started working with the company on reviews, I told them not to send any, because I thought they were gross. Oh, how far I've come! At this point, I think I like them as much as I…
Diamond Select Toys call themselves "the nexus of comics and pop-culture," and that's pretty apt. If there's a nerdy property that you're interested in, they've probably got it covered, across one or several of their product lines. The Justice League film is one such property, with a line of Vinimates and Gallery PVC statues covering…
Nightwing: former Boy Wonder. Batgirl: the Dominoed Daredoll. Individually they're two of the most beloved characters in the entire DC Universe. Together, they're either the ideal couple or friends who really shouldn't be anything more than that. It all depends on who you ask, really. Besides their "will they/won't they" romantic dynamic, though, they're both…
