Diamond Select Toys sent along photos and info for this weeks news releases. In stores now are some new Caddyshack, Iron Giant and Nightmare Before Christmas figures. See the details below and the photos after the jump.

It’s an exciting week at comic shops, as three exciting Vinimates and two exciting Minimates arrive in stores! Whether you’re a fan of sports comedies, sci-fi animation or stop-motion horror, there’s something for you at your local comic shop!

With the release of Ty Webb, our fourth character from Caddyshack, and two more characters from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas – Santa Claus and Zero – the Vinimates line is growing like crazy! Each 4-inch vinyl figure is sculpted in the Minimates block-figure style, and strikes a pose straight from the film the character appears in. But each figure also has an articulated head so you can customize that pose!

Also out this week, DST’s two-pack of 2-inch Minimates mini-figures from The Iron Giant is great on its own, or paired with the Iron Giant Vinimate! Approximately 2-inch Minimates of Hogarth Hughes and the Iron Giant features 10 and 14 points of articulation, respectively, and can strike a variety of poses straight from the movie.

Reserve yours at your local comic shop, or order online from your favorite online retailer!

2017’s blockbuster season has just started, but the countdown has already begun for one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2018 – Pacific Rim Uprising from Legendary and Universal Pictures. In 2013’s Pacific Rim, director Guillermo del Toro unveiled the first chapter of this spectacular universe of monsters and mechs, in which human-piloted machines called Jaegers rise to defend humanity against gigantic otherworldly monsters called Kaijus.

All of DST’s products are available through independent comic shops, specialty stores and online toy retailers, with selected items also available at Toys”R”Us and toysrus.com. Certain styles and characters will be available at all locations, while some will be exclusive to specific retailers.
