Toy Fair 2012: Diamond Select Toys' Minimates
While "The Amazing Spider-Man" doesn't hit theaters until June 26th, Diamond Select Toys is stepping in to make sure your home can have some of that Spidey-goodness a little early with their release of Minimates based on the film! Even Uncle Ben and Aunt May are getting in on the action, because what could possibly be more fun than having a geriatric couple face down the Lizard?!
While one high-profile superhero movie is hogging all the attention right now, another one is waiting in the wings, ready to swoop into the spotlight once it has the summer all to itself. That movie is The Amazing Spider-Man, and it looks like it's going to take the Spider-Man film franchise to a whole new level of action and excitement! Plus, the movie is going to be getting some of Diamond Select's best Minimates mini-figures yet!
