When Hot Toys acquired the licenses for Amazing Spider-Man 2, Guardians of the Galaxy and this summer’s Avengers: Age of Ultron movie, they made a major announcement for each and pretty much shouted it from the rooftops.
But Hot Toys has been much quieter about this summer’s other Marvel movie–until this week! The first teaser for the Hot Toys Ant-Man figure has now been revealed!

Today’s the day that the pre-summer blockbuster “Avengers: Age of Ultron” movie finally hits theaters in Europe and other parts of the world that aren’t the United States!
And what better way to celebrate the first day of release for the second Avengers movie than with an all-new sixth scale figure of the first form of the movie’s ultimate evil: Ultron! The ultra-creepy, robot zombie-looking Hot Toys Ultron Mark I figure is now up for order!

Given the thousands of dollars of Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron figures that have gone up for pre-order in the past few months, I really thought that Hot Toys might be giving their collectors a week off from the financially-crippling onslaught of new pre-orders. But, as happens from time to time, I thought wrong. Not only is there a new Age of Ultron Hot Toys figure going up for order this week–but it’s a limited exclusive: the Sideshow exclusive die-cast Hot Toys War Machine Mark II is now up for order! But wait a minute… didn’t I already buy this figure…?

Well, there’s no doubt about it. In 2015, more than ever before, Hot Toys has decided to wage all-out war this year on collectors’ wallets! Eight Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron figures are already up for order without the movie even being in theaters yet, and it doesn’t look like Hot Toys is planning to slow down any time soon! At this weekend’s “Marvel’s Avengers Age of Ultron Exhibition” in Hong Kong, Hot Toys has officially revealed four more new figures, including the Hot Toys Ultron Mark I, Iron Legion, Ultron Sentry and more!

For several years now, many collectors have considered the Hot Toys Marvel 1/6 figures to be the best Marvel figures on the market right now (and quite possibly ever). But maybe–just maybe–you’ve been waiting for something bigger than sixth scale. Something along the lines of a super-articulated Sideshow Premium Format Figure statue. If that sounds like you, you’re in luck–the 20″ Hot Toys 1/4 Iron Man Mark 43 figure is now up for order!

After Iron Man 3 came out and introduced 36 new Iron Man armor permutations, it seemed like Hot Toys might not have to ever think up a non-canonical movie design for Iron Man ever again. But whether it was necessary to do so or not, that’s just what Hot Toys has done again: the Avengers Age of Ultron limited exclusive Hot Toys Movie Promo Stealth Iron Man Mark VII figure is now up for order!
UPDATE: After five hours up for sale, Stealth Iron Man is now SOLD OUT! If you want him and didn’t order yet, now is the time to get on the Wait List!

If you’re a Hot Toys collector that’s missing one Marvel Cinematic Universe character that you just haven’t been able to afford, then the Avenger you’re most likely lacking is Hawkeye. The Hot Toys Avengers Hawkeye figure was the first of the Avengers movie figures to go up for sale, and the demand turned out to be far greater than the quantity produced. Hawkeye has been out of reach for many collectors–but no longer: the Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys Hawkeye figure is now up for order!

While Marvel’s eventual plan may be for Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) to become the iconic woman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s no question that–as of now–the Scarlett Johansson Black Widow is the breakout female character of the MCU. And with her fourth movie appearance coming up this summer in “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, Black Widow is also about to get her fourth Hot Toys figure! With an absolutely loaded arsenal, the MMS288 Hot Toys Black Widow figure is now up for order!

Last month, Hot Toys debuted an all-new range of super-deformed bobble-head figures called the Artist Mix Collection. Seeing as how these figures utilize a very similar size and are all super-deformed bobble figures, I assumed that we’d be getting the Avengers Age of Ultron Artist Mix Series instead of an Avengers Age of Ultron Cosbaby line. I assumed wrong. Last week, Hot Toys showed off the first six Avengers Cosbabies, and now they’ve followed up by revealing Series 1.5 and Series 2–including Cosbaby Vision, Black Widow and Hulkbuster Iron Man!

From the moment Marvel movie fans saw the first concept artwork of Hulkbuster Iron Man from hthe Avengers: Age of Ultron movie, the Hulkbuster has had more buzz and excitement surrounding it than any other character in the film (including Vision, Scarlet Witch and even Ultron himself). And now, Tony Stark’s mightiest creation is coming to the most popular high-end line of Marvel collectibles: the MMS 285 Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man is now up for order!

Someone, somewhere, started the unsubstantiated rumor that Hot Toys would never make another 1/6 Hulk figure after the original Avengers movie version. I don’t know why, but that stigma stuck and spread, so a lot of collectors really thought that there wouldn’t be a Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk figure released. But surprise–! Not only is Hot Toys releasing a new AOU Hulk–they’ve got a second version in a Hot Toys Hulk Deluxe Set available for order as well!

Hot Toys surprised me overnight when they released the official images for not one, but two versions of the new Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk sixth scale figure! For those with extra money to burn, there’s a deluxe version with an extra head and an extra interchangeable torso. But for those who don’t care about those bonuses–and don’t have a ton of extra money to shell out–Hot Toys has you covered too! The regular version of the Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys Hulk figure is now up for order!

Hot Toys loves teasing their collectors with upcoming figures, and they’ve teased the Hot Toys Ultron figure more than most. The Ultron Hot Toys figure was supposed to be unveiled at Toy Soul 2014 back in December, but no-showed the event. Then Hot Toys sent out a teaser image of Ultron’s back–usually preamble to an impending pre-order–but then threw us a curveball by putting up Captain America and Thanos instead. But now, the Pinocchio-loving robot will finally have his day–the Hot Toys Ultron Prime figure is now up for order!

Hot Toys has basically conquered the world of sixth scale Marvel figures and collectibles, so it’s only natural that they’d now want to expand their Marvel license into other ranges as well. And if there’s one company that has been able to challenge the hype and buzz surrounding Hot Toys for the past year or two, it’s Funko. And thus, Hot Toys is now entering into a fierce competition with Funko, as their latest line of Marvel collectibles is in the form of the bobble-head Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Artist Mix figures that are now up for order!

Hot Toys doesn’t have the best track record of releasing major villains from many of the Marvel movies that they’ve manufactured toys for. We didn’t get a Hot Toys Malekith, or a Killian, or an Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin. We have a grand total of zero Hot Toys X-Men villains, and even Robert Redford couldn’t earn himself the chance to be immortalized in Hot Toys form. But while some big bads just don’t make the cut, there are others that are just too important to be ignored: the Hot Toys Thanos figure is now up for order!
