April Is a Marvel-Filled Month for Diamond Select Toys

This month’s offerings from Diamond Select Toys include figures and statues that tie into Marvel’s upcoming movies, as well as one zombified version of a classic Marvel super-villain.

The Marvel Minimates Series 57 Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Assortment captures the film’s characters as 2-inch mini-figures. Featuring nine different characters, the assortment includes four different two-packs: Star-Lord with Ronan, Drax with Groot—and a Rocket Raccoon micro-figure—Gamora with Nova Corps Centurion, and Nebula with Sakaar Soldier. The Gamora and Nebula sets will only be available in comic shops and specialty stores.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie Resin Statue depicts Marvel’s wall-crawler in a dynamic battle pose atop a New York City rooftop. It measures approximately seven inches tall with its base.

The Marvel Select Villain Zombies Magneto Action Figure features X-Men villain Magneto in all his decomposing and battle-damaged glory, and is inspired by his zombified appearance in the horror comics of the Marvel Universe. It measures roughly seven inches in scale.
