Hope to reveal Series 2 pics soon! Wisdom Form Sora has been spotted at Target, and Master Form at ToysRUs. No reports yet of Valor Form or the Regular Sora two-pack at GameStop.

The bodies are block-based, so the parts are fully interchangeable for customization purposes. The heads are cylinders, or at least cylinder-based, so any removable parts like hair or helmets can be switched between characters. And they're $10 or less for a pack of two, so they really aren't meant to compete with a pricey PlayArts or Figuarts figure. We do have our larger Select Action Figures out now, which are more realistically sculpted, and those range from $10 to $25, depending on how many figures are in the pack. We also make full casts of NBX characters in both styles, and we've made Pirates of the Caribbean and Peter Pan Minimates, so there is a certain amount of crossover potential, as well.

The three packs shown above hit comic shops, specialty stores and online retailers tomorrow. EntertainmentEarth.com, BigBadToyStore.com and Amazon.com should all have them, or comic shops can order them in. Find a store at comicshoplocator.com. Single packs are at Walgreens with the exclusive Pluto, and two-packs are coming to Toys"R"Us, Target and GameStop with exclusive Soras.

Got notification that the Select versions of the KH figures (the three-packs) will be in stores on November 1. Comic shops will get them, as well as online toy retailers like entertainmentearth.com, bigbadtoystore.com and amazon.com. They are already up on shop.diamondselecttoys.com.

Some new pics I took of the exclusives:

I hope people won't judge the product before they see it in person. The prototypes did go through a couple of rounds of changes - usually we wouldn't show something before it was final, but the product usually ends up looking slightly different from the prototype anyway. Sora's smile came from reference art we used, it wasn't just something we made up. The original post in this thread has been updated with some Sora and Axel pictures (not sure if people are notified when that happens), but here are some pics of Dusk in action.

I don't know what to say about the "ugly" comments, but there will be minor differences in production, and they'll be able to strike different poses that resin protoypes can't, so hopefully people check them out in person, or at least read some reviews when they come out, and make informed judgments on their quality. We'll be doing static PVC Dioramas, as well, so hopefully those are acceptable to those who prefer that kind of thing. Basic figures have been spotted at Walgreens. Specialty Select multi-packs should ship sometime in October.

The 7" action figures and 4" VInimates should hit this fall/winter. Should be out by holiday time. I just got a couple of production samples I need to take some pics of. The Gallery pieces (9" PVCs) are a bit farher off. And yes, they are re-packs of the Select figures. The comic- and specialty-offered Select Series 1 will have two three-packs: Mickey/Axel/Shadow Sora/Dusk/Soldier TRU will have three two-packs: Mickey/DUsk Axel/Shadow MAster Sora/SOldier (exclusive) Target will have three two-packs: Mickey/Dusk Axel/Shadow Wisdom Sora/Soldier (exclusive) GameStop will have four 2-packs: Mickey/Dusk Axel/Shadow Sora/SOldier Valor Sora/Soldier (exclusive) Walgreens will have three one-packs: Axel Sora Mickey with Pluto (exclusive) Most Soras will come with the Kingdom Key, most Mickeys with the Star Seeker. We have multiple waves planned, with Goofy, Donald, Roxas and more. GameStop should be on board for them.

What is terrifying or silly about them?

These are all prototypes, so they will look slightly different in production. In fact, we've updated the paint for Axel: In case anyone had any questions about what was on display at SDCC, the comic- and specialty-offered Select Series 1 will have two three-packs: Mickey/Axel/Shadow Sora/Dusk/Soldier If you are in the US, there are less expensive places to get these than AmiAmi, try EntertainmentEarth.com: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DC82535AA TRU will have three two-packs: Mickey/DUsk Axel/Shadow MAster Sora/SOldier Target will have three two-packs: Mickey/Dusk Axel/Shadow Wisdom Sora/Soldier GameStop will have four 2-packs: Mickey/Dusk Axel/Shadow Sora/SOldier Valor Sora/Soldier Walgreens will have three one-packs: Axel SOra Mickey with Pluto Most Soras will come with the Kingdom Key, most Mickeys with the Star Seeker. We have multiple waves planned, with Goofy, Donald, Roxas and more.

Hi, I'm DSTZach, I work for Diamond Select Toys. I came on to answer people's questions about the upcoming KH products DST is putting out, and to get a feel for what everyone thinks of them! Hope to see you around, although I'll probably spend most of my time here: The action figures thread: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/106391-updated-the-first-series-of-diamond-select-toys-kingdom-hearts-figures-shown-off-at-c2e2-2017-releasing-fall-2017-pre-orders-now-available/ And the Vinimates thread: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/108352-kingdom-hearts-vinimates-by-diamond-select-toys-to-release-in-fall-2017/

If these do well, we will definitely expand. Our 7" action figure line will run several series, fans willing, and we're starting off with six characters. We also plan to do a line of 2" Minimates mini-figures, which usually feature 8 characters in every assortment.
