Fans of Fox's Gotham have a new way to celebrate their fandom. Diamond Select Toys has announced a new round of Minimates and 7-inch action figures themed around the popular TV show.
Gotham is set in Batman's hometown in the years before the Dark Knight emerged. It reveals the backstories and histories of heroes and allies of the Bat, like Jim Gordon, Lucius Fox, Alfred and Leslie Thompkins. But the lion's share of air time is devoted to villains in-the-making like Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Two-Face, Black Mask and Joker.
Diamon Select's previously-announced Series 1 Minimates are made up of Gordon, Police Chief Sarah Essen, Edward Nygma (Riddler) and Black Mask. The just-announced Series 2 is made up of Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle (Catwoman) and Oswald Cobblepot (Penguin). Each figure has 10 points of articulation and like LEGO Minifigures, interchangeable parts. The four-pack is expected to cost $25.
For the 7-inch action figure line, Diamond had announced months ago that it was working on figures for Jim Gordon, Selina Kyle and Oswald Cobblepot. Now the company has announced three more figures for the line: Alfred, Edward Nygma and Gordon's partner, the morally challenged Harvey Bullock. Each figure comes with a recreation of a small portion of the set. Alfred comes with the Wayne Manor fireplace, Riddler comes with his GCPD desk, and Harvey comes with a back-alley dumpster. The 7-inch figures sell for $25.
No word yet on an exact release date, but we'd guess these toys will be available to buy before Christmas.
Gotham's second season debuts Monday night, September 21, 2015 on Fox.
