Simply Marvel-tastic! For thousands of years, Marvel Select figures have been a hallmark of Diamond Select Toys' offerings as higher-end (but not expensive) action figures for the picky collector. We heard there may be fewer of them in circulation, but the good news is that Iron Man and War Machine are on deck for 2013. They look pretty fantastic, don't they? A Ghost Rider and Silver Surfer are on deck for this line as well. There's also an expansion in other Marvel avenues, which you can see if you hit your scroll wheel. Or your touchscreen. Or your mind-interface, oh lucky citizens of 2094.

One of the biggest surprise was the Infinity Gauntlet Bottle Opener, which is just one piece in a line-up also featuring Galactus, the Silver Surfer, a Punisher logo, Deadpool, Venom, and more in the distant future. While Toy Fair is supposedly about toys, licensed character collectibles and housewares creep in quite a bit and there's big money in the housewares business these days. Diamond has similar items in other lines, including a bafflingly great Domo pizza cutter which you'll see on that gallery when it's ready. (Look to the right to see if it's on the menu yet.)

Also continuing are Marvel Minimates which continue along with more new series this year, and we're in the 50s. SHIELD Agents, core characters, refugees from the Savage Land, and Avengers are all on the way.
