#NYCC 2018 - Diamond Select Toys Product Walkthrough and Q & A with Zach Oat

I prefer pose-able figures to statues. But that carnage and punisher may be worth it--especially since there hasn't been any good posable carnageML

Never had select products before. Does anyone know if that Cloak can be separated from Dagger for posing purposes?

Man! I used to collect Minimates! So cool to see they're still around and thriving!

I have to admit, those Minimates are cute. Don't want to look too closely at them, though, because the last thing I need is another line to pique my interest, lol! Diamond Select has recently started creeping into my previously only Marvel Legends collection, though, especially some of the older figures with cool diorama pieces. I'd be interested in those Kelvin 'verse Star Trek Kirk and Spock as well as John Wick shown in the video.

I'm all about that Thor and Groot set. The Thor will be a nice fit for the Marvel Legends as well.

Oh okay. Now I know. I dont have much knowledge about the minimates, but what Ive seen they look cool. Just not for me. Got have cash for all the other collectibles lol

Yeah I havent been in the minimates game for years now. I would on occasion get some of the cooler unique and favored characters from TRU because they were exclusive there but since TRU is gone I dont go out of my way to find them. I feel like they have kind of slowed down on their Marvel ones and just spanned out to other properties that Im not interested in.

Yeah it seems like smaller companies like DST and DC Collectibles more an more are gravitating to doing more statues and less action figures. I personally kinda feel you have so many companies making statues of the same characters over and over its getting kinda ridiculous but I am sure statues are cheaper to make and can be cranked out faster than action figures so they can produce smaller runs and still be profitable which is why they do them.

Understandable but still disappointing. Some of the best figures were produce under the Marvel Select line.

Hoping that dst would reveal more selects but we only got statues and mini mates. Don't get me wrong im happy for those people who collects those but just saying i wouldve liked to have seen more action figs.
