Another of the portents of the apocalypse has come to fruition, as I’m talking about the Hasbro Marvel Titan Hero 12″ figures for the second day in a row. Marvel Titan Heroes aren’t my favorite line (not am I the target demographic), but a lot of people love them, so I want to feature them when I can. And a pretty star-studded series of Avengers Titan Hero figures have begun hitting stores this week, including Dr. Doom, Hawkeye and the Falcon!

The character selection for the 12″ Titan Hero action figures series has been pretty unexceptional up until now, as until this summer it has consisted entirely of Marvel characters in the top-tier of popularity such as Hulk, Captain America and Iron Man.

Luckily, things have just gotten a whole lot more interesting on the Hasbro Titan Heroes front. Yesterday I discussed some of the just-released non-Peter Parker Spider-Man Titan Hero figures, and today I found all four of the new-release Avengers Assemble Titan Hero figures!

This series includes a Titan Hero Iron Man 12″ figure, which is fine, what with Iron Man being ridiculously popular right now and all. But the other three figures in the set are far more interesting.

First, we’ve got the 12″ Dr. Doom Titan Hero figure! I believe this is the very first villain Hasbro has released as part of the Marvel Titan Heroes line. Because Doom doesn’t require a lot of paint deco in the first place, nor is a lot of ninja-like articulation necessary for the character, this is one of my favorite Titan Hero figures released (that doesn’t come in packaging with a Guardians of the Galaxy logo on it).

Next up we have the Titan Hero Hawkeye figure. I hated this figure the moment I first saw the prototype, and I still do. To me, this looks like some sort of anorexic zombie Hawkeye, and probably the very worst Titan Hero Hasbro has released so far.

Finally, we come to the Titan Hero Falcon. I love that Hasbro is giving us a character that’s usually considered secondary, and Falcon’s simple color scheme translates really well to the Marvel Titan Heroes form.

What do you think of this new foursome of 12″ Marvel Titan Hero action figures, Marvel collectors? Will any of these value-priced toys be joining your (or your kid’s) collection this summer?
