Diamond Select Toys Announces Panels for Comic-Con International!

July 2013 - Diamond Select is coming back to Comic-Con International this year, and while we've already told you about the exclusives and the exhibits and all that, we haven't told you about the panels! Check your busy schedules on Saturday and Sunday, because DST has not one, but TWO panels planned, one all about Minimates and the other all about... well, everything else!

Saturday, 7/20/13, 1:30-2:30, Room 8
Marvel Minimates: 50 Series of Awesomeness!
Celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Marvel Minimates line, some of the team behind the popular mini-figure brand are here to talk about their plans for The Wolverine, Thor: The Dark World and the fan-choice Series 50! Diamond Select Toys Director Chuck Terceira and Marketing Supervisor Zach Oat will also share info about the other Minimates lines, including Tomb Raider, Aliens, The Walking Dead and Battle Beasts, as well as submit to a Q&A session and debut the next big Minimates line! Plus, there'll be a Minimates prize drawing at the end of the panel!

Sunday, 7/21/13, 3:00-4:00, Room 7AB
Diamond Select Toys: The Best of All Worlds
The creative minds at Diamond Select Toys are known for their diverse product lines, from Select-scale 7-inch action figures to electronic vehicles to role-play items to vinyl banks. Diamond Select Toys Director Chuck Terceira and Marketing Supervisor Zach Oat will attempt to cover every non-Minimates item DST has coming up, from such brands as Marvel Select, The Walking Dead, Star Wars, Star Trek, Universal Monsters, Lost in Space, Knight Rider, Batman, The Munsters, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, The Expendables, Lenore, Domo and more! They'll also hold a Q&A, announce some brand-new products, and there will be a prize drawing at the end of the panel!

And be sure to catch Chuck Terceira on the panel of "Old into Gold: How Retro Properties Are Big Business For Toys and Collectibles," Friday night at 7:30 in room 26AB!
