When you want the dynamic pose and detail of a statue, but can’t afford the high-end prices, Diamond Select‘s PVC dioramas make a nice middle-ground. In 9-inch scale, which makes them bigger than the average action figure, these characters get thematic bases (of the sort action figures used to come with before the market priced them out) and dynamic poses, with authentic movie and TV detail.
While Gladiator Hulk will have his own action figure in the Marvel Legends line, you’ll have to buy six other figures to build him–if you just want Hulk by himself, this foot-tall rage monster will run you just $50 (that’s $5 more than the other two, for the extra size). If you’re a fan of the USC Trojans, spray-paint him cardinal and gold for a unique, personal mascot.
Valkyrie is but the latest in what we hope is a never-ending stream of Tessa Thompson merchandise. Seriously, she’s awesome.
And then there’s Spider-Man, who’s…well…he’s Spider-Man. Classic pose, bright colors–imagining his inner anxieties, however, is up to you. Spidey is sculpted by Gentle Giant, while the more facial-detail heavy Hulk and Valkyrie were done by Diamond Select mainstay Rocco Tartamella. Also, we can confirm that Valkyrie’s base is meant to represent the Grandmaster’s planet.
Look for these diorama figures to hit shelves in late fall/early winter. And take a look at some additional angles in our gallery below.
