Diamond Select Toys Reveal Panels and Events for Comic-Con International 2016
Comic-Con International in San Diego is one of the
largest gatherings of toy lovers known to mankind, and every year DST
leaps at the chance to interact with their customers at the event, as
well as introduce themselves to new fans! This
year, DST will be all over Comic-Con, with a booth (#2607) full of
prototypes and exclusive toys, two panel presentations that break down
our upcoming products, and they are once again taking over Taste &
Thirst in the Gaslamp Quarter, turning the popular
eatery into a hive of Alien goodness!
On Thursday, July 21, DST will open up their Alien Lounge at 715 4th Avenue (the home of Taste & Thirst on 4th) with a kick-off event from 11 PM to midnight,
for ages 21 and up. Alien-themed door prizes will be given
out at the kick-off, and the Lounge will be open all weekend, with
numerous DST Alien products on display, as well as a photo backdrop
featuring Alien Minimates for scary selfies! Stop by for a bite to eat –
the chicken wings are to die for – and stay for
the xenomorphic atmosphere!
On Saturday, July 23, DST will host the panel “Minimates Mini-Figures: Marvel, TMNT & Beyond” from 1:30 to 2:30 in Room 8 at the convention center. After a slide presentation,
DST
president Chuck Terceira and prototype painter Brian Felgar will
discuss what's coming up for the long-running 2-inch Minimates
mini-figure line and the 4-inch Vinimates vinyl
line, including more Aliens, Predator, Gotham, and the reveal of Marvel
Animated Minimates Series 3. Marketing supervisor Zach Oat will
moderate the Q&A, and give out prizes for the best questions!
And in addition to the long list of exclusives that will be available at DST’s booth #2607 – including products based on Marvel, DC, Ghostbusters and Star Trek – there will also be two DST items on sale at the Entertainment Earth/Toys”R”Us booth, #2343. One is a marshmallow-covered Ghostbusters Select Ray Stanz figure, the companion to our Peter Venkman, and the other is an exclusive two-pack of Muppets Minimates, Kermit and Miss Piggy, in formal wear!
