Fall 2016 Diamond Select Toys - Ghostbusters, Star Trek, Marvel, Gotham and More

I will probably pick up the select Khan. I've never been one of those mutually exclusive fans who says "I like Star Wars more so I'm never touching Star Trek." I'm not sure where people get the notion that the franchises have to be at war.

Why is the Predator 2 smart disc called a glaive? When did glaive stop meaning a polearm weapon and become a throwing weapon? Is this Krull's fault?

The Khan Select figure is very cool, but it's weird Diamond picked up this older version of the character while the enterprise's crew are the younger versions from the classic TV show.

It's the more recognizable version of Khan. Also, the Kirk figure came with a (non-articulted) Khan from the original series.

I am hoping that they will announce a companion piece at SDCC of Kirk in red jacket with his chair.

I remember the Blade movies had props and that is where I started hearing the term "Throwing Glaive".

Krull was I think the first to call a throwing weapon blade thing a glaive but now for some reason a lot of things have started using the term even though a glaive in the actual world was a bladed polearm weapon similar to a halberd.
