Diamond Select Goes Higher Further, Faster… and Smaller?
While ‘Captain Marvel’ dominating the box office this past weekend, it’s super exciting to see more news for some awesome new ‘Captain Marvel’ collectibles that will soon be heading our way! This week the team at Diamond Select Toys released some new images of their upcoming 7″ scale Marvel Select Captain Marvel figure that is based on the film that is slated to release this summer.

Sadly, not everyone would be able to obtain one of these highly sought after box sets, but now collectors will have a whole new chance to add a Street Diorama to their display shelves! This week NECA has released their massive 18″ tall Street Scene Diorama on their Amazon and Ebay stores, giving fans the world over a chance to add this gigantic piece to their collection. This piece is physically identical to the SDCC exclusive version but has been completely repainted. It features multiple levels and has a reversible rooftop backdrop so that you are able to display your scene as day or night. Check the full solicitation and images from NECA below!
