Marvel and Munsters! The folks at Diamond Select Toys sent us a bunch of pictures of their new Marvel and Munsters wares. For Munsters, we're finally getting to see Eddie Munster and Marilyn Munster, more or less completing the core cast of the show with a 2-pack coming (I assume, no date was given) later this year. We also got a bunch of pictures and marketing copy, which I am now going to rephrase for you in a much more condensed fashion.
I didn't read the Marvel "Fear Itself" series, so I'm going to steal Diamond's copy and paste it here for you. "One of the biggest comic events of 2011 -- one whose effects are still rippling through the Marvel Universe -- was Fear Itself. The massive Marvel Comics crossover, which saw eight mystical hammers fall into the hands of the world's worst villains (and some of its greatest heroes, as well), gave us some amazing battles... as well as some sweet new costumes! To commemorate the Earth-shattering storyline, Diamond Select Toys is releasing two box sets of Marvel Minimates: The Worthy and The Mighty!
The Worthy box set includes Cul, The Serpent (the Asgardian god of fear); his herald Skadi (a.k.a Sin, the Red Skull's daughter); Mokk, Breaker of Faith (formerly the Grey Gargoyle); and Angrir, Breaker of Souls (formerly the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing). The Mighty box set includes Asgardian All-Father (and Cul's brother) Odin, as well as Spider-Man, Hawkeye and Iron Man in their final battle costumes, with their dwarf-forged uru-metal weapons. (Iron Man not shown.) Look for these to arrive this summer at comic shops and specialty stores near you! Pre-order today!"
Anyway, the Marvel Select Colossus figure celebrates 10 years of the line at Diamond, and measures a whopping 8 1/4-inches tall. He's due in February. And is big.
They also confirmed development on Spider-Man and The Lizard Marvel Select figures from The Amazing Spider-Man, all due from the movie this summer. This article outlines some of the details about the project, which basically is this: new 7-inch figures, Gentle Giant worked on them a bit, and also why this is the first movie-based Spidey in this line.
