If you plan on attending New York Comic Con this year, you may want to consider wearing a hardhat. Diamond Select Toys will have an exclusive two-pack of 2-inch Maximum Zombies Minimates for sale, and these little guys could be lurking around any corner just looking to sink their tiny zombie teeth into your (comparatively) huge brain! They even come with alternate, interchangeable heads for double the biting action. Luckily, we’ve made sure that they are contained inside of attractive, zombie-proof packaging — what you do with them when you get home is your business, but don’t say we didn’t warn you! Visit the Diamond Comics booth (#344) for a full list of participating retailers at the con, and stay tuned for an announcement about our full zombie Minimates line!

If you live in the comic book universe, you can count on superheroes like Spider-Man to show up and save the day. But what if you live in the real world? Who will save you then? Luckily, there are men and women out there risking their lives to keep others safe day in and day out. They’re the ones that will come rescue you when you are trapped in a burning building or stuck inside of a twisted car wreck.  In recognition of these true everyday heroes, we present this special NYCC-exclusive 2 pack that includes a brave fireman and your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, both decked out in full firefighting gear, with NYCC 2011 printed on the back of their coats and a variety of interchangeable parts! Diamond Select will have some on hand at booth #338, but visit the Diamond Comics Distributors at booth #344 for a full list of participating retailers at the con!

Diamond Select Toys likes to think of its convention appearances as one long goodwill tour of America, bringing sneak peeks of its products and new, exclusive toys to different parts of the country. And this year’s journey, from Chicago’s C2E2 to San Diego’s Comic-Con, is now coming to an end in New York City, at the 2011 New York Comic-Con! Taking place at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan from October 13-16, the convention is the East Coast’s biggest pop-culture gathering, and in addition to our famous Minimates panel (2:45 on Saturday, in Room 1A15), this year will be the home to four very cool exclusive DST products, including the first offerings from a brand new line of Minimates!
