Came to the board to talk about stuff, and the thread got shut down! Hope you don't mind if I start a new one.
Our AEW products - Minimates, Vinimates and Gallery Dioramas -- will not affect Jazwares lines. We are not making articulated action figures at this time. But Minimates are poseable, and a lot of fun, and the dioramas should be pretty impressive.
The first four-pack of Minimates will be revealed at SDCC. Another 4-pack and two 2-packs are in the works. Not sure about the first Diorama, we're still working on it. (Actually we're working on four!) We have other Vinimates tentatively planned, although they may be used more for events like SDCC.
Our press release:
All Elite Wrestling Gets the Diamond Select Toys Treatment in 2022
HUNT VALLEY, MD (July 1, 2022) – Diamond Select Toys (DST) has long offered “the Best of All Worlds,” but there is one world to which they have never ventured - the world of professional wrestling. DST is going All Elite, bringing the world-class talent of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) together in a new line of collectibles.
Starting this summer, DST will offer a variety of products based on the stars of AEW, including CM Punk, Sting, Chris Jericho, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., Jon Moxley and many more. Categories will include two-inch Minimates poseable figures, four-inch Vinimates vinyl figures, 10-inch Gallery Diorama PVC sculptures and 11-inch Premier Collection statues.
The all-new line will launch with an exclusive Vinimates two-pack at Comic-Con International in San Diego. CM Punk and Sting will be featured, wearing their mutual-tribute face paint as seen at AEW’s Holiday Bash in December 2021. It will be available at Booth 2607 at the convention and on diamondselecttoys.com.
“I’ve been a fan of wrestling for as long as I can remember,” said DST president Chuck Terceira. “AEW is the home of some of the most thrilling talent in the business, so we look forward to spotlighting these stars in our already fan-favorite product lines for fans everywhere.”
“Having worked with Chuck and the team at Diamond Select in the past, I have no doubt they will deliver an amazing assortment of premier collector items based on AEW,” said Mark Caplan, Head of Consumer Products at AEW. “Our fans are passionate and have an ongoing appetite for merchandise at our weekly live events, retail and online stores.”
In addition, some of the biggest stars of AEW will take the San Diego Comic-Con stage for the first time to give a ringside view of the wildly-popular wrestling promotion. The highly anticipated panel discussion on Saturday, July 23, will feature CM Punk, Jade Cargill, Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy and Bryan Danielson, and will be moderated by AEW commentator Excalibur.
Since its debut in 2019, AEW has defied expectations with its meteoric rise, world-class roster, record-high ratings, unprecedented collaboration with other leagues and highly entertaining product.

A longtime minimate fan (hail Ivan) has put together a database of all minimates that have been released. www.minimatedatabase.com/I’ve been collecting minimates since about 2006 or 2007. There’s all sorts of different properties that have been made into minimates. Some of them are pretty expensive on the secondary market. My main bread and butter are the comic minimates. |

These pictures are several years old, but I used to be a big Minimate collector. I always liked the format and the flexibility of swapping parts and mixing and matching. Ghostbusters:  X-Force:  Avengers - these really emphasize what I loved about Minimates. Take off Iron Man's helmet, and you have Tony Stark's face underneath, with a hairpiece to put on top. Same for Captain America:  The Boys. My brother made these. He used to do a lot of Minimates custom work that was displayed on the old Fwoosh forums. All that detail was hand painted by him:  |

Fun little pieces, it'll be interesting to see their take on AEW's roster. Nice work by your brother, btw! |

Cheers! It's got to be Britt Baker for the one woman in the first series, although Thunder Rosa would be great. I Imagine something like CM Punk, Darby Allin and possibly someone like Jericho for the heel, then Britt. |

Can you elaborate on the 11 inch premier collection statues and make a comparison between them and an existing product we might be familiar with? Would those be like the jakks unmatched fury figures?

Sure, they would be similar to the Unmatched Fury figures in that they are static, and capture each wrestler in an iconic or character-representing pose. The 10-inch Gallery Dioramas will more similar to UF, in that they are made of PVC, and that is a line we are actively developing. Price range should be around $60. The 11-inch ones would be resin, closer to $200, and I do not believe we have any designed yet.

Can you please elaborate slightly more on what this means: “10-inch Gallery Diorama PVC sculptures” Are they standalone dioramas? Something for figures nearing a 10 inch scale? Are they meant to be played with or primarily for display purposes? |

Pre-orders on the Vinimate set will open on Wednesday night, 6 PM PST I believe, at diamondselecttoys.com The 10" Gallery Dioramas are sculptures of wrestlers with environmental elements. So standing on a ring apron, walking down an entrance ramp, etc. They are for display purposes. They are non-articulated. An earlier poster compared them to the Unmatched Fury line, which is accurate. First one (or two) will be shown at SDCC. Pre-orders SHOULD open in August. Some examples: www.diamondselecttoys.com/shop-by-type/gallery-diorama |
