Diamond Select have confirmed they have tied up the licence for the Netflix Castlevania animated series that debuted in 2017. The Castlevania licence originated 32 years ago now as a video game and made the jump to Netflix with Season 1 in 2017 with a second season planned in 2018.
"Beginning in 2019, DST will offer products in a number of different categories, including Select action figures, Gallery PVC dioramas, Vinimates vinyl figures, Minimates mini-figures, resin statues and more. Products will be offered at multiple major retail chains, as well as through independent comic book shops via Diamond Comic Distributors."
As well as statues, the Diamond plan for 2019 will include 7" scale Select Action figures. We would expect to not see these until at least Toy Fair in February 2019. We will watch this news with interest.
“The Castlevania franchise has a rich, deep history, and the new animated series takes all of it to a new, vibrant, visually superb level,” said Diamond Select Toys president Chuck Terceira. “I’m personally a fan of the show, and I can’t wait to help execute some of its amazing character designs in 3-D.”
