Though they won't be available in time to be placed under Christmas trees or inside stockings hanging above fireplaces, Diamond Select Toys' latest Minimates based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series and 1986's Aliens are now available to pre-order. The Walking Dead's Negan and Jesus, along with Aliens' Cpl. Hicks and Ripley, are just some of the characters that will be brought to life in miniature form.
Coming out sometime in late spring/early summer are The Walking Dead Series 7 Minimates and the Aliens Series 1 Minimates. Each set can be purchased as a whole for $119.98 or in individual two-packs priced at $9.99 apiece. We have a look at the two-inch tall items below, along with their official details:

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
