Diamond Select Toys has unveiled the series 19 and 20 Marvel Mini-Mate collections that arrive in December. The collections include a couple long awaited characters including Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man, Mysterio, and Archangel.
Take the jump for the complete breakdown and pics of the figures.
BTTF.com has announced it has partnered with Diamond Select Toys to offer an exclusive limited-edition Back to the Future “Enchantment Under the Sea” Minimate two pack.
“Fans have been patiently waiting for officially-licensed figures from the Back to the Future™ series for more than two decades now, so I’m very excited that we can be a part of this very important and unique promotion,” states Stephen Clark, BTTF.com Owner and General Manager. “When we first learned of Diamond Select’s plans to release Minimates this year, I knew we had to be somehow involved.”
The Marty McFly and Lorraine Baines figures will be limited to 3000 pieces, can only be ordered through BTTF.com’s online store, and will ship in the first week in October.
I’m going to get two sets just so I can have 50’s Marty meet himself and have the universe implode on itself.
Diamond Select Toys has announced a huge Minimate-themed scavenger hunt for this year’s San Diego Comic Con called “The Hunt: A Minimate Adventure”.
Every team that signs up will receive an exclusive “Hunt” Minimate, T-shirt and list of objectives. Instead of a hunter/gatherer quest, teams will be required to take digital pictures of their team’s Minimate in different situations, some of which are convention related.
If you or your team (but really just you, because you’ll stab your other teammates in the back at the last minute won’t you?) win the Grand Prize, you’ll be showered with every single Minimate released over the next year, digital cameras, iPod Shuffles, portable DVD players, gift certificates and more.
Sigh… yet another thing I’ll miss out on. Having a s-load of Minimates would be a very cool thing to get over 12 months, especially when there are so many properties that get the Minimate treatment.
More details and a link to the registration page can be found at the company’s website.
Waves 1 and 2 have already hit the marketplace and there are more DC MiniMates on the way. Wave 6, scheduled to ship in November, features Bizarro, Supergirl, S.T.R.I.P.E., Stargirl, Sgt. Rock and Blackhawk, Battle Damaged Wonder Woman, and Cheetah.
Yeah, like I really need more stuff taking up the precious space in my house, but I know I’ll be buying these.
Spider-Man 3 is just around the corner and that means toy tie-ins can’t be that far behind. One of the first available will be the Diamond Select Toys Spider-Man 3 Minimate 2 pack featuring the classic red and the new black costume.
Wizard World LA is March 16th, and for those of you who can’t attend, Diamond Select Toys let us know you will be able to buy directly from its site.
The rest of the Spider-Man 3 Minimates figures will be released this summer.

Diamond Select Toys has announced a new line of Minimates based on the Back to the Future Trilogy. Interestingly, the company has decided the first line of figures will be based on the second movie. Huh? Makes no sense what-so-ever, but then again, it’s been shown again and again that time travel messes with our reality.
The four figures will include Marty McFly, Doc Brown, Lorraine Baines, Biff Tannen, with chase figures of Marty and Lorraine in their Under the Sea outfits, and a Marty in his 50s clothing. It’s unfortunate that Art Asylum and DST don’t go full out and build a DeLoreon ala the Batman C3 line that included complete playsets.
Even better than getting your hands on Doc Brown, Diamond Select Toys will also be making prop replicas including the Flux Capacitor.
The Minimates should be available in September.

Last week, Diamond Select Toys announced the line up of the new Avengers themed Minimate line from Art Asylum and Marvel. Today, we have a look at the entire team together.
Today Minimate Multiverse posted two new characters from series 16 of the Art Asylum/Marvel minimate line. Joining the other Avengers will be She-Hulk and Wonderman. She-Hulk fans should be happy as they can create cheesecake pinup cover spoofs of their own. I was a bit disappointed in Wonderman, as I think many Avengers fans were expecting Hawkeye.
