Due to some health complications impacting my ability to work all day, every day for a week and not fall asleep in the GUND booth, I bowed out of this year's New York Toy Fair coverage...but NEVER FEAR!! Meghan Lee and Jonathan Kolton hit the floor on day one with a truck load of enthusiasm and the desire to hug all plush. Diamond Select was jam packed with pop culture collectibles, as per usual. Every year, their level of detail, paint applications, and execution go up a level, but their prices remain extremely competitive and easy on the wallet! We kick off Toy Fair 2023 coverage with Diamond's Lord of the Rings line, including 7-inch scaled action figures and PVC statues.
On tap this year were:
Lord of the Rings Action Figures Series 6 - The journey continues! As seen in Peter Jackson's epic Lord of the Rings movies, heroic Hobbit Samwise Gamgee faces off with wizard Saruman the White in the superlative sixth series of 1:10 scale action figures! The 5.5-inch tall Sam includes an Elven cloak and a variety of accessories, and the 7.5-inch Saruman includes his staff and Palantir, plus interchangeable sleeves! Each figure comes packaged in a full-color window box. Designed by Eamon O'Donoghue, sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios!

Packaged in a striking full-color window box, the Gandalf Gallery Diorama is a captivating centerpiece for your collection.
Portrayed with captivating gravitas by Sir Ian McKellen in the cinematic adaptations, Gandalf is more than a mere spellcaster; he is a guiding force who weaves the destinies of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and men together.
