A Xenomorph, a band of brotherly turtles, and a lethal katana. After recently announcing their SDCC 2014 exclusives, Diamond Select Toys has now revealed a new lineup of upcoming releases, which includes a nod to the 35th anniversary of Alien, showcases the ready-for-battle (and on the brink of their feature film adaptation) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and also contains two items from The Walking Dead that Michonne has left her mark on.
Two new batches of Minimates, a Michonne sword letter opener set, and a vinyl bust bank of one of Michonne's zombie pets: you can order these and other DST releases in next month's issue of the Diamond Comic Distributors' Previews catalogue, but you can pre-order them anytime through your local comic book shop, which you can find using comicshoplocator.com. We have details and images of these collectibles for you to check out now:
