Diamond Select Toys Brings New Product and Licenses to Toy Fair New York 2023!

For the first time in three years, it’s New York Toy Fair time! The toy industry’s biggest event was on hold after their last show in 2020, but it’s coming back rested, ready, and… early? That’s right, Toy Fair will run from September 30 to October 3, meaning you don’t have to wait until February to see all of 2024’s hottest toys! And of course, Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant LTD will be front and center, at booth 5335, bringing you a wide variety of upcoming products from a vast array of licenses and a broad selection of product categories at every price point.

This year, look for new products from:

  • Marvel – Drawing inspiration from comic books, movies, TV and video games, DST and GG LTD offer a Marvel product for every type of collector – and every type of retailer! Keep an eye out for items based on the Spider-Verse, the upcoming film Captain America: Brave New World, as well as the upcoming Spider-Man 2 video game.
  • Star Wars – Gentle Giant LTD has captured the Star Wars universe in bust and statue form since 2002, and their fan base grows with every new release. With the Disney+ series Ahsoka blowing up screens everywhere, look for a surge of viewers to seek out GG LTD’s upcoming sculptures based on the character and her world.
  • House of the Dragon – Based on the hit spin-off to George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones, DST has deluxe action figures and Gallery Dioramas of various cast members, including Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen, as well as large resin busts of the dragons themselves!
  • Rebel Moon – Director Zack Snyder’s upcoming sci-fi epic on Netflix has fans eagerly anticipating its Dec. 22 debut, and DST will deliver some equally anticipated collectibles, including action figures, Minimates and Gallery Dioramas!
  • Invincible – This Amazon Prime animated series from The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman may not be for kids, but its cast of superheroes and villains still make for great action figures, and DST is delivering a line that will have fans setting up battles as they wait for Season 2 to arrive on Nov. 3.
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – With this famed franchise back on top in the wake of the Mutant Madness movie, DST’s new Minimates multi-packs and Gallery Dioramas will make any fan of the classic kids’ cartoon (and its modern comic book storylines) sit up and take notice.
  • All Elite Wrestling – Airing on major networks three times a week, the newest player in professional wrestling is also one of the top-rated, with an acclaimed roster of talent that is a perfect fit for DST’s line of Minimates and Gallery Dioramas.
  • Lord of the Rings – In addition to DST’s detailed Gallery Dioramas of the main characters and creatures from the smash hit film series, the popular line of LOTR action figures continues with more members of the Fellowship, and more of their evilest foes!
  • Indiana Jones – Celebrating the iconic adventurer’s greatest moments, Gentle Giant LTD’s collection of busts, statues and Gallery Dioramas will dazzle any fan of the franchise. Plus, they’re bringing back their famous vinyl bank of the golden idol!

The Return of New York Comic Con 2021, Part 2: Saturday!


As I mentioned in the first part of my New York Comic Con (NYCC) report, while I was there on Thursday, I couldn't make in on Friday, but I was back on Saturday. This was also the only day, that I choose to cosplay. I'll definitely do more at the next comic or sci-fi con, but for now, this was fine. And, once again I was Captain America from Avengers: Infinity War.

Due to the pandemic related limited attendance, this was definitely the least packed Saturday, that I have ever seen at NYCC. But, regardless, it was an absolute blast to attend, and I had an even more awesome time than I had on Thursday!



This was the day that I decided to some celeb meeting. First and foremost I met legendary wrestling announcer Tony Schiavone. The former voice of WCW and currently AEW Dynamite, he was and is a huge part of my wrestling memories. I honestly believe that he is doing some of his finest work in AEW. In person, he was so nice and down to earth. It felt like he genuinely loves meeting his fans, even a dorky loser like me, who was like, "I'm such a huge and long time fan!" Jesus Christ, could I have sounded lamer if I tried?

I also met one of the artists that works on Garbage Pail Kids (GPK) trading cards. He was at the Topps booth and was signing an exclusive set of Oh the Horrible, their horror movie parody GPK cards.

And, now here are some more cosplay highlights, including some of my own:




Honestly, this might be my favorite cosplay that I saw at NYCC this year! As a life long Jaws fan, I found it to be both awesome and hilarious! If someone reading this knows and her and could let her know how incredible this is, please do so!














And, on this day I bought, besides those GPK horror cards I mentioned earlier, a Toy Tokyo exclusive Masters of the Universe Zodac Funko Pop.

To be concluded!
