Diamond Select

Diamond Select Toys was an American toy and collectible manufacturer. A subsidiary of Diamond Comics Distributors, they were notable for their adult-focused products such as collectible action figures, toys, statues, and pop culture-themed everyday products. Diamond Select Toys began producing Godzilla-themed merchandise in 2014 to coincide with Legendary Pictures' Godzilla reboot.

In 2025, Diamond Select Toys shut down after Diamond Comic Distributors filed for bankruptcy, resulting in the cancellation of numerous planned releases, including several Godzilla statues.
