Diamond Select Figures refers to a collection of officially-licensed Kingdom Hearts figurines manufactured by Diamond Select Toys.

The primary figurine lines are the Kingdom Hearts Select line and its successor, the Kingdom Hearts III Select line, each made up of several series of action figures. The Kingdom Hearts Gallery line is made up of larger, more detailed dioramas. There are also two Kingdom Hearts figure in Diamond Select Toys's Legends in 3D line, which consists of detailed character busts.

Diamond Select Toys also produces two lines of miniature figures: the plastic Minimates and the vinyl Vinimates.

Development

Diamond Select Toys first revealed prototypes of the Kingdom Hearts Select line at the New York Toy Fair 2017. In addition to early versions of the Sora, Mickey Mouse, Dusk, and Shadow figures, the display included Roxas, Maleficent, Jafar, Iago, Abu, and a Creeper Plant, which would not be included in the final Series 1 lineup.

At New York Comic Con 2017, Diamond Select Toys showed off the new Minimates line. The display showed figurines of Sora, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Donald in his Space Paranoids outfit, Goofy, Tron, and Sark. Also included were prototypes of Timeless River Mickey, Timeless River Donald, Wisdom Form Sora, Mickey in his Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep outfit, Donald in his wizard outfit, and a Shadow, all of which were excluded from the final release.

Series 3 of the Minimates line was revealed at the New York Toy Fair 2019. In addition to all of the figurines that made it into the final lineup, ultimately unreleased figures of Mike Wazowski, Monstropolis Goofy, Baymax, Sora in his Kingdom Hearts II outfit, The Caribbean Sora, and Elizabeth Swann were shown off at the event.

There are two figures from Kingdom Hearts III Select Series 3 that made it into production, but were ultimately canceled: Wisdom Form Toy Box Sora and Guardian Form Toy Box Sora.
