We saw several figures from Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum's fourth wave of The Walking Dead comic series Minimates back in April, but in a new post at DailyDead, fans can finally see a whole lot more zombies (and a few humans) that are set to arrive at retail this month.
Between Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Wolverine and its regular 17th and 18th Marvel Minimates waves, it's going to be a busy several months at Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys. At Comic-Con this week DST is displaying dozens of its upcoming 2" figures from the cinematic and comic book corners of the Marvel U. You can take a look at all of the displayed 'mates from the SDCC floor, after the cut.
The final chunk of 2013 should be a boon to Thunderbolts fans and, um, Undeadheads? who dig Minimates. Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum will release a special Marvel Minimates Zombie Villains Box Set in October, followed by a Marvel Now! Thunderbolts Box Set in January of 2014.
Minimates collectors may want to secure some clear shelf space before San Diego Comic-Con on July 17-21, especially if they're keen on Iron Man and Deadpool. Action Figure Xpress has announced an exclusive new "Deadpool Assemble" box set packing Cable-Pool, Captain Ameri-Pool, Thor-Pool and Phonics-Killer Iron Deadpool, plus a massive Iron Man 3"Hall of Armors" 10-pack that stocks eight of Shellhead's most iconic movie suits, along with 'mates of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts.
