We speculate on new Marvel Select figures from Diamond Select

Those that follow Diamond Select and their Ask DST format of Q+A's will know that while they do their best to answer collector's questions, there is often very little new information presented in each episode. However, if you do look hard enough and start to bring two or three answers together you can start to make some pretty educated guesses at what Diamond may have in store for us.

In the recent issue, this question was asked by Bryant P.

And the response from Chuck was as follows....

Now that feels fairly conclusive that at least two of these characters are in the pipeline for 2018 release in the Marvel Select line. But which are the strongest possibilities?

For now I think Vision is of the table as we've seen in a recent Ask DST the very definite answer that Vision is not in their plans for 2018. While things may have changed, I don't see Vision as being part of what will most likely be a three figure release for Infinity War. On the other hand I think both Thanos and Captain America are prime for Infinity War releases. Thanos would require a brand new big figure, while Cap could save some money by being a re-use of the current body with a new bearded head?

While I would love a movie Deadpool, the deal with Fox is still very much in its early stages and I can't see any movement as yet on the ability of Diamond or others to do Fox linences. So that leaves Punisher, and if Diamond have deemed the Netflix Daredevil a success then Frank Castle feels the next obvious choice for release - and will mirror what they have done with their Statues line in releasing Daredevil & Punisher very early in the line.
