There's a Storm coming! No, we're not forecasting the weather, we're telling you about the next figure in the Marvel Select action figure line! The weather-controlling mutant Storm will be joining the ranks of Diamond Select Toys' 7-inch-scale X-Men series, which means her Danger Room base will connect with the bases of Cyclops, Colossus and Gambit. Sculpted by Sam Greenwell and painted by Jason Wires, look for her in the fall, and be on the lookout for a rare variant featuring a more civilian hair style!

Get your money out of that dusty vault and shine it up nice, because Diamond Select Toys has a new place to keep your cash! Spinning out of DST's successful line of Star Wars bust banks comes the all-new Universal Monsters series! The most famous monster of all, Frankenstein's Monster, will kick off this new line of 8-inch vinyl banks -- from the front it just looks like a high-quality bust, but turn it around and there's a slot to stick your change in! Nobody will want to raid your savings when they're safe inside this resurrected giant! And the second release in the new line was a no-brainer: after all, if you were going to make a bust featuring highly detailed sculpts and paint, what monster would you want to see done right? The Creature from the Black Lagoon, of course! The scaly mer-monster has never looked better than in this detailed bank, and if you turn him around you can insert your loose change in a slot behind his gills. He's the next evolution in banks! Look for both Frankenstein and the Creature to hit comic shops and specialty stores this September!
