First Look: The Amazing Spider-Man Movie Minimates

The last big reveal from Toy Fair 2012 that I wanted to make sure I covered here on The Blot Says… was this awesome series of The Amazing Spider-Man Minimates from Diamond Select Toys. There is no doubt in my mind that The Amazing Spider-Man is going to be a huge blockbuster this summer, and you know both kids and adults are going to go crazy for all the merchandise released to tie-in with the film.

The Amazing Spider-Man Movie Minimates Series will consist of five 2 packs: Battle Damage Spider-Man & The Lizard, Spider-Man & Peter Parker (with Skateboard), a Mystery Criminal & Dr. Curt Connors, Uncle Ben & a Police Officer (with Aunt May as the chase variant), and Captain George Stacy & Gwen Stacy. Between this release and The Avengers Movie Minimates Series, Marvel is releasing some seriously awesome 2” toys this summer.

First Look: The Avengers Movie Minimates

So many great toys made their debut at Toy Fair 2012 this past week The Blot couldn’t possibly blog about all of them. But there’s no way I could ignore some of my favorites, like Diamond Select Toys new The Avengers Movie Minimates Series. From what I can tell there will be five The Avengers Movie Minimate 2-packs released, including Captain America & Iron Man, Thor & the Hulk, Loki & Nick Fury, Hawkeye & Black Widow and Maria Hill & an as of yet unnamed villain!

The Blot’s favorite The Avengers Movie 2-pack is definitely the Hawkeye/Black Widow set, but how can I not buy the Maria Hill Minimate set!?! I mean come on, this is How I Met Your Mother’s Cobie Smulders first ever action figure! That makes it a must get sight unseen. Marvel’s definitely bringing the heat this summer with Avengers tie-in toy lines and DST has done a great job with these 2” fully articulated figures.

First Look: The Walking Dead Minimates!!!

Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, has joined forces with Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum to create a creepy line of The Walking Dead Minimates based on the hit Image comic book series! Now you can collect posable 2” version of your favorite survivors, roamers and lurkers, perfect for recreating the continuing story of survival horror in your very own home. And be sure to check out all the amazing accessories these figures come with, like guts and half eaten arms!

We don’t know too much about this series yet, but DST did have a huge selection of The Walking Dead Minimates on display at their Toy Fair 2012 booth (including a ton of zombies)! From the photos taken by the good people at ASMzine, it looks like we will be seeing a ton of characters released in this toy line including, Rick Grimes, Lori Grimes, Glen, Dale Horvath, Shane, Andrea and Tyreese. The Blot’s especially excited to see Tyreese finally get some love as he’s the only main character totally ignored by the AMC television series. Hopefully we will find out more details soon, including a release date.
