Toy Fair 2019 Preview: Marvel Select Sandman Figure Revealed!

I’m leaving for New York Toy Fair 2019 tomorrow morning, but before I can even get out the door, companies are beginning to post previews of new products that will be fully unveiled at the event this weekend! One such company is Diamond Select Toys, who have unveiled a superfecta of new Marvel products in the build-up to the show. All four previews are good ones, but there’s one that’s generating more buzz than any of the others: the Marvel Select Sandman figure is now up for order!

Marvel Select Sandman Figure Diamond Select ToysDiamond Select Toys has produced just about every Spider-Man villain under the sun over the years in their long-running Marvel Minimates line of 2″ figures, but we haven’t gotten quite as many in the beloved Marvel Select figures series. Sure, we’ve got Venom, Carnage, Lizard, Black Cat, Rhino, Green Goblin and more–but there’s still quite a few classic villains missing from the lineup.

But that number of omissions is set to decrease by at least one this year, as we’ve now gotten our first look at the DST Sandman Select figure that will be fully revealed at the 2019 Toy Fair this weekend!

Sandman Marvel Select Figure FistI’ve already heard a bit of griping that this Sandman figure looks “boring”, but I think that’s because a lot of collectors have only glanced at the one preview image available of DST’s Flint Marko and not ready the actual text for the release.

Diamond Select Toys Sandman Select Figure PreviewAs it turns out, this figure is going to include a “sand tower” lower body, a sand spiked mace and a sand claw that aren’t shown in the preview image. We’re getting a lot for our $29.99 MSRP, and I’m expecting a plethora of jaws to be dropping once this figure gets fully unveiled this weekend. If the sand on the fist and base are any indication, we are in for a crazy treat with all of those other interchangeable sand accessories!

Close-Up of Marvel Select Sandman Diamond Select Toys FigureThe Sandman Marvel Select figure is now up for order, and is scheduled to be released in Q3 2019. We’ve only got these few photos to go on for now, but I anticipate seeing all of Sandman’s accessories and being able to take plenty of hi-res photos of him at New York Toy Fair 2019 this weekend.

Be sure to follow the Marvel Toy News Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, where I’ll be posting rapid-fire photos of all the new statues and figures from Toy Fair throughout the weekend! Should be a wild weekend!

Are you already sold based off of the preview image, or do you need to see more before you’re ready to fork out your $28-$30 for this Flint Marko, Marvel collectors? And what other Diamond Select Toys items are you hoping to see revealed at the 2019 Toy Fair?
