Founded in 1999 by sister company Diamond Comic Distributors, Diamond Select Toys (DST) is a well-regarded manufacturer of pop culture–inspired collectables for collectors of all ages (children and adults alike).

Their motto, ‘The Best Of All Worlds’, reflects their diverse catalogue of products. Over many years of operating, they have acquired a vast range of licenses from partnerships with Lucasfilm, Marvel Comics, Toho, Universal, Fox, Warner Bros., Disney, Sony, CBS, and more.

Some of their most popular franchises include DC Comics, Marvel, The Iron Giant, The Lord Of The Rings, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Crow, Kingdom Of Hearts, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Tron, Mortal Kombat, Godzilla, Alien and Predator, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Sonic The Hedgehog.

As a global company, Diamond Select partners with various 2-D and 3-D artists to create products (kitchenware, prop replicas, vinyl banks, action figures, electronic vehicles, resin busts and statues, and Minimates mini-figures) inspired by different characters and objects. These include Iron Man, Superman, Aragorn, Jack Skellington, Prince Zuko, Darth Maul, Scorpion, Tails, and Ghidorah — as some examples.
