EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ARTISTS OF MARVEL COMIC GALLERY DIORAMAS
Diamond Select Toys announced a new series of Marvel Comic Gallery dioramas at Toy Fair 2020, and the first few are now up for pre-order, including Captain America, Wolverine, and Vision! We sat down with two of the artists collaborating on this new line for an exclusive interview. Learn more about their process and how the statues came to be!
Jean St Jean is a talented traditional sculptor, able to render 2D designs to dynamic 3D models with wax and clay! His attention to detail and lengthy experience in the industry brings his sculpts of classic comic book characters to a new level!
Nelson Asencio has been designing toys and collectibles for over 20 years, which makes him a great addition to the artistic team for our new line. He is the original designer of the beloved 2-inch Minimate figures, as well as DST’s Mortal Kombat and Bruce Lee Gallery dioramas!
Here, Nelson first designs the MARVEL Comic Captain America Gallery Diorama with Rogers on top of a base of debris and concrete, before modifying the sketch to include Hydra's symbol among the rubble.
Asencio’s design for the Vision Gallery Diorama, with his Solar Gem glowing as he phases through the destroyed wall, gives a glimpse of his immense powers, which is perfect for fans of the synthezoid. Add him to your wishlist here!
St. Jean’s rendition of a classic character for the MARVEL Wolverine VS. Gallery Diorama is so dynamic and detailed, from the debris on the base to his growling expression. Save him to your wishlist here!
The MARVEL Comic Gallery Dioramas feature vibrant colors, amazing detail, and lively renditions of classic characters. We can’t wait for you to see what they have and will produce together to continue the line!
