Diamond Select Toys has The Spirit, too!

About a month ago, I told you about some upcoming Mezco Toys The Spirit action figures in this blog post. Well, it looks like Mezco isn't the only action figure company with The Spirit. Recently, Diamond Select Toys announced that they will be producing their representations of the movie characters as a set of The Spirit Minimates.

If you're not familiar with them, Minimates are small two inch tall block-like figures made by Diamond Select Toys. Some collectors are more familiar with Medicom Kubricks. Minimates are essentially the same type of figures that are about as tall as the 100% Kubricks.

Recently, the hype around The Spirit movie has been growing in the action figure industry with the announcements of these new action figure releases. As hype like this grows before a movie is even released, it always makes me wonder what happens if the movie bombs. As for The Spirit action figures, I guess it probably won't matter for some collectors. From what I can tell of The Spirit action figures... at least the Mezco figures, they seem to be cool enough to garner some attention from collectors even if the movie isn't great. Do you have any favorite action figures that were great, but that were based on a horrible movie? Leave a comment below or hit up our action figure forums to let us know.
