June 2003 - Hopefully you've seen the ad that ran in the newest issue of ToyFare that came out this week, issue #72. Here's a heads up as to how the gold Spider-Man MiniMate give away from Diamond Select Toys is going to work. This contest will take place at both the San Diego Comic-Con and the Wizard World Chicago shows.

Every day of each show between 12:00 - 1:00, DST will give out 250 Blank MiniMates in the Diamond Comics section of the booth. Each day will be a different color figure. One of those 250 will have a special sticker on it telling the lucky finder that they just won. That person brings the MiniMate with the sticker to the DST section booth for a RARE gold Spider-Man Marvel Minimate. Only 50 of these will ever be made!

There's another way convention attendants can win this rare MiniMate. Every Peter/MJ Minimate Convention exclusive we sell we will contain one of our response cards. Consumers who fill out the response card and bring it to DST booth will be entered in a drawing to win one of the RARE gold MiniMates. This drawing will take place at the end of the show each day.

And then there's one final way to get your hands on the gold Spider-Man. Any DST product bought at the show will have one of the consumer response cards in it. So buying a DST statue, bust or action figure from any dealer at the show will give you another chance to enter the contest. Retailers even have a chance to get in on the action. If they stamp their store name on a DST response card from a product sold and it's their card drawn, that retailer gets a gold MiniMate just like the person whose name was on the card.
