Whew! I can stop thinking about those ham-fisted
Funko ReAction figures - the real McCoy is on its way. Diamond Select Toys seems to be sniffing the wind and getting back in the game. Prototypes for new
Pulp Fiction and
Kill Bill figures have emerged, and they look pretty damn good. We've had
Pulp mini-mates before, but nothing this awesome looking. Jules, Butch and Marsellus round out the first look, and if they do this nice of a job, there's every hope more characters will join the line-up.
Now NECA did an
awesome job with their
Kill Bill figures a few years ago, but evidently DST has got Tarantino on the brain, because they're taking a crack at them, too. Just like DST's new
Sin City figures, they're offering up a wave of figures that NECA's already taken a run at before. With
Kill Bill, The Bride, Go-Go and Bill have already been done previously, so here's hoping they finally are able to get an O-Ren figure. Likeness issues doomed O-Ren to never get beyond the prototype pictured below, so I for one, would love to finally fill that gap in my collection!
Finally, Diamond is adding to their
Star Trek "Select" line, with Worf - though all we've got so far is concept art.
Very intriguing! This seems to be DST's declaration of intent to keep up with Funko, NECA and the like. I would love to see them succeed. But Diamond Select, take heed - don't serve us up too many recycled characters, okay? Plenty of us still haven't quite forgiven you for abandoning the
Battlestar Galactica line, leaving half of the key characters unfinished.
It drove some of us to desperate measures! If you really want to impress us, resurrect
Galactica (see what I did there?) and maybe do for
Firefly what you're doing for
Pulp.
