In Stores This Week: Ultron, Silver Surfer and the Battle Beasts!

September 19, 2012 - If it's Wednesday, it must be New Toy Day! Diamond Select Toys has a couple of new products shipping to comic shops this week -- both of them Marvel Comics-based -- and there's also an actual comic book they want you to check out! It's not Marvel, but it's quite possibly the awesomest comic you will read this week. Let's see what's coming out!

Marvel Select Ultron

Avengers Villain Ultron Coming to DST's Marvel Select Line

March 2012 - It's a fact that Diamond Select's good friends over at Gentle Giant have been dying to design an Ultron action figure for them for close to two years now. Since the character has always been an awesome-looking villain, DST has been willing to add it to the line, but they could never find the right place for it in their schedule. Well, with everyone talking about the Avengers' big movie, DST is giving Gentle Giant the opportunity to bring the Avengers' big bad to life this August. With Jason Wires behind the paintbrush, they're sure you'll be pleased with the outcome… although Ant-Man and the Wasp clearly aren't, judging by the 7-inch Ultron's detailed display base.
