DST Tron Series 1 Action Figures 067

Released in 1982, Disney’s Tron was one of the first major Hollywood films to rely on computer generated imagery (CGI) for its special effects. It was a film that was ahead of its time, so much so that the Academy Awards refused to acknowledge the films accomplishments, saying that using computers was cheating. The film never quite found the box office audience Disney was hoping for, but it became a cult favorite on home video.

The film followed a group of computer programmers looking to prove that a high ranking executive was stealing ideas from Kevin Flynn. Flynn, a genius programmer, created many of the games his company, Encom, was known for. When he crosses Encom’s growing AI program, the Master Control Program (MCP), Flynn is digitized, and sucked into the unknown digital world. There, Programs roam the digital landscape, performing the tasks their Users designed them to do. But the MCP has begun a hostile takeover, absorbing programs for his own gain, and forcing many others to fight in a game grid based on the real world video games that Flynn designed. The MCP uses the villainous Sark to do his bidding, running the games and rounding up programs to fight. When Flynn meets Tron and his friends, they devise a plan to take down the MCP, and return Flynn to the real world before he derezzed and lost forever.

The film has had a few toys and collectibles over the years. However, the new line of 7″ scale action figures by Diamond Select Toys may just be the best yet. Series 1 consists of Tron, Kevin Flynn (Infiltrator), and Sark. A Walgreens exclusive assortment is also available, which features the three figures with less accessories. However, it’s only via Walgreens that fans can find the blue version of Flynn. Our friends at diamond Select Toys have sent along the Tron Deluxe Series 1 Figures, and I managed to find a Blue Flynn in the wild. After the jump, check out my thoughts on the new collectibles, as well as a full photo gallery.

DST Castlevania Select Series 1 Figures 049

In 2017, an animated adaptation of the popular Castlevania video games debuted on Netflix. A second season followed in 2018. The series took many of it’s elements from Konami’s Castlevania 3: Dracula’s Curse for the Nintendo Entertainment System, which greatly expanded the lore for the series. After his wife is accused of witchcraft and burned alive, Count Dracula wages war on Eastern Europe. Trevor Belmont, a disgraced monster hunter, becomes the latest Belmont to face off against Vlad Dracula Tepes. He is joined on his quest by magician Sypha Belnades, and Dracula’s own son, Alucard.

The new figures by Diamond Select Toys represent the first Castlevania figures since NECA’s line from 2007. Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard each stand about 7″ tall, with roughly 16 points of articulation. They include character specific weapons and accessories, as well as multiple interchangeable parts. Castlevania Select series 1 is in stores now, with a second series on the way. Our friends at Diamond Select Toys have sent over the figures. After the jump, check out my thoughts on the new series, and a full photo gallery of the figures.

The assortment includes Tron, Sark, and Infiltrator Kevin Flynn. The 7″ scale figures each feature interchangeable hands, identity discs, and identity discs with effects. The figure have about 16 points of articulation each.

Originally, the figures were going to be part of the “Select” figure line, and were going to include pieces to build a Recognizer vehicle from the movie. Sadly, they were unable to get that to work out. However, the loss of the Recognizer pieces did result in the price per figure being lowered to $20 each. The Tron Series 1 Figures are due for release in February. See the new packaging images after the jump.

Avatar DST Deluxe 030

Diamond Select Toys Avatar The Last Airbender line of Select figures continues this month with upgraded versions!  These come packed in traditional gigantic clamshell packaging DST is known for with big key art on the side.  The previous versions were Walgreen’s exclusives and had a reduced package size and limited accessories.

Aang, Katara and Zuko all come with stands and additional effect pieces.   Base sculpts are the same, with some tweaks.  Each have a hole in the mid back to allow for the stand peg to be used.  Aang has an altered head with a happy expression now.  They each have new hands to work their new effect pieces as well.   Articulation seems to be the same between versions.   The effects are well done.  The stands, not great – required a screwdriver to loosen and tighten each pose attempt and then lock into place.  It’s either floppy, or about to break with any movement attempt.   Best addition was Momo who comes with Aang and is a faithful rep of the show.

We’ve run the three of them to show off their new upgrades.  Read on to check them out after the break courtesy of Diamond Select Toys!  They are in stores and shipping now.
