With the Avengers Age of Ultron trailer already being shown in theaters and online, it was only a matter of time until we saw the first pre-orders begin for Avengers Age of Ultron toys. But if you’d asked me to bet on which company would beat all their competitors to the punch by being the very first to put an Avengers 2 figure up for order, I would have definitely lost that bet. No, it’s not Hasbro or even Funko–it’s Diamond Select Toys! Coming to stores in May 2015, the Marvel Select Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk figure is now up for order!

When the Avengers movie came out in 2012 and was the biggest superhero movie blockbuster of all-time, Marvel collectors flooded stores looking for great-quality 6″ scale figures. Unfortunately, Hasbro missed the boat with their Marvel Legends scale 6″ Avengers movie figures, having only released a small assortment as a Walmart exclusive.

Chief among the most difficult figures to find in the line was the awesome Marvel Legends Avengers Hulk figure, which was a towering beast of a figure and one of the best mass-market Hulk toys ever made.

As you might imagine, this Marvel Legends Movie Series Hulk figure got gobbled up at retail and terribly scalped online. Luckily for fans who couldn’t find the Hasbro Hulk Marvel Legends figure, Hasbro wasn’t the only company who brought a Hulk: Diamond Select Toys released their own Marvel Select Avengers Hulk movie figure as one of the three figures that they created for the movie (along with Hawkeye and a Chitauri alien).

Easily the best-selling DST Avengers figure, the Avengers Hulk Marvel Select figure made a great alternative for those who couldn’t track down the Hasbro movie Hulk figure at retail and didn’t want to pay scalper prices.

While that Marvel Select Hulk figure is now long gone from stores and expensive on the aftermarket in his own right, Diamond Select Toys is giving collectors another shot at that figure next year, as they’ll be re-releasing the massive 10″ Marvel Select Hulk movie “with all-new sculpted details”. What those details are is anybody’s guess (perhaps pants and an update head sculpt?), as DST isn’t ready to show the figure off yet. I’m rarely disappointed in DST’s efforts, though, so the Marvel Select Avengers 2 Hulk figure is sure to be another winner.

The Avengers Age of Ultron Marvel Select Hulk figure is now up for order, and is scheduled to be released in May 2015 (just in time for the movie to hit theaters!). With the original Marvel Select movie Hulk figure long sold-out and expensive on the aftermarket, it’s a great movie on Diamond Select Toys’ part to bring us an updated Hulk figure in time for the new movie. This is going to be another Marvel Select movie action figure destined to sell out in pre-orders, in my opinion.

Marvel collectors: Are you glad to see Marvel Select bringing back their Marvel Select Avengers Hulk figure with some tweaks, or would you have preferred if DST had preserved the value of the original Hulk figure and concentrated on making different characters for Avengers: Age of Ultron?
