When it comes time for me to get my Minimates fix, I’m always heading to Toys R Us, but lately finding Diamond Select Toys has been rather difficult.  All that’s changing now that the two companies have announced a new partnership that will bring all the latest DST products to Toys R Us stores across the country.

To make this announcement even better, our newest Toys R Us exclusive Minimates can now be found on store shelves!  Two exclusive sets are included in this first series of Minimates, get ready to bring home Stealth Iron Man & Gauntlet Tony Stark as well as Hulk & Abomination – stars of this year’s biggest Marvel movies!  Plus be on the lookout for our other Marvel Minimate two-packs: Spider-Man & Shocker, Back in Black Spider-Man & Kraven and Cosmic Spider-Man & Transformation Venom!

Woot!  More things to spend my money on!  This is the announcement I’ve been waiting for, as it is the sign that the recession will soon be over!

Or maybe I’m just a little too excited.

I’m clearing out space in the Major Spoilers Comic Book Room and am selling a huge portion of my Simpsons action figure collection.
