Hasbro 4″ Avengers Age of Ultron Figures Released & Photos!

Avengers Age of Ultron All Star Captain America Figure

Although some stores started accidentally putting product out on the shelves weeks ago, this week is the official launch window for the majority of the Avengers: Age of Ultron toys! And, as with most Marvel Studios films, Hasbro has now released a series of Marvel Universe-scale 4″ Avengers of Ultron toys. But while the Hasbro 4″ Marvel figures are traditionally some of their most beloved offerings, I have a feeling that the Avengers Age of Ultron All-Stars Figures are not going to be welcomed with warms, loving arms by many collectors…

Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys Artist Mix Figures Revealed!

Posted on by February 5, 2015
Hot Toys Artist Mix Hulkbuster Iron Man Mark XLIII Deluxe Set

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!

Marvel Legends 2015 Avengers Wave 1 Up on Amazon!

Avengers Marvel Legends Sentry Figure Avenging Allies

During the entire time that I’ve been running Marvel Toy News, I’ve never seen Marvel collectors quite so hyped up and excited for a new wave of action figures as they are for the 2015 Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 1 figures. Because of the fact that all of the figures in this series are one-per-case except Hawkeye, fans not wanting to order a whole case have had to wait and rely on finding the figures in stores. But no longer–most of the Marvel Legends 2015 Avengers Wave 1 figures are now available individually on Amazon!

Funko Marvel Collector Corps Exclusive Hulkbuster Iron Man POP Vinyl

Funko has thrown Marvel collectors a true curveball today, when they announced that the insanely-anticipated Avengers Age of Ultron Funko Hulkbuster Iron Man POP! Vinyls figure will not be available at regular, mass-market retail stores. In fact, you can’t outright buy the Funko POP Hulkbuster Iron Man figure anywhere. The only way to get the exclusive Hulkbuster Iron Man Funko POP Vinyl figure will be by purchasing the first-ever Marvel Collector Corps Box, coming in April 2015!

Close-Up of Marvel Play Arts Kai Iron Man Variant Figure

There were very few unexpected Marvel toy developments at New York Comic Con 2014 last October, but one announcement that did catch me totally off-guard came from the Square-Enix booth, where Square-Enix quietly announced the Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant figures line! There was only one prototype figure on display at the booth, and we’ve had to wait quite a while to see finished photos, but the time is now upon us: the Marvel Play Arts Kai Iron Man figure is now up for order!

Hot Toys Thanos Figure Up for Order! MMS 280

Hot Toys Thanos MMS 280 Figure with Throne

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!

Marvel Legends Bulldozer of The Wrecking Crew Figure 2013 Wave 5

Earlier this week I discussed the probably-not-a-Barnes-and-Noble-exclusive Marvel Legends Avengers Dr. Strange series–but that’s not the only new Hasbro Marvel Legends 2015 series to emerge in rumors and whispers this week!

A potential Marvel Legends Ant-Man series has now been leaked on Amazon, including long-lost figures like Tigershark and BULLDOZER!

Hot Toys Age of Ultron Captain America Up for Order!

Avengers Age of Ultron Captain America Hot Toys Figure with Steve Rogers Head

Considering that Hot Toys released three Captain America sixth scale figures last year, another the year before that, two more the year before that, and one way back in 2011, you might think that fandom would be less than excited about yet another Hot Toys Captain America figure in the 2015 pipeline. But in actuality, Hot Toys collectors are psyched for the next Cap, as it looks like it very well may end up being the best one ever: the Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Captain America figure is now up for order!

Marvel Legends 2015 Avengers Wave 1 Released in the US

Next week is the big week when most retail stores in the United States will start to become covered in Avengers Age of Ultron toys that should take up loads of shelf space for most of 2015, but that doesn’t mean that some stores aren’t starting the attack by releasing the Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 1 figures a week early! Reports are coming in from the midwest that Target stores have released the series a bit early, and we’ve got the photos (including the receipt!) to confirm them…

What’s that? The 2015 Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 1 and Wave 2 sets with Odin and Thanos Build-A-Figures haven’t even hit stores in the U.S. yet, but you’re already pining away for news regarding more upcoming Hasbro Marvel Legends 6″ figures? Well, ask and you shall receive. As a Funko collector, I’m pretty used to seeing Barnes and Noble leak upcoming figures months before Funko can announce them. And this time, B&N has turned its sights to Hasbro, leaking a list of potential Marvel Legends 2015 figures including Blizzard, Dr. Strange, Valkyrie and more!

Marvel Select Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk Figure

This week has been perhaps the busiest and the most loaded-down with hotly-anticipated new Marvel you announcements of any week I can recall. But while the past days have been absolutely bursting with hugely-popular new collectibles, one item in particular seems to be getting a bad rap and loads of criticism all-around. The Marvel Select Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk has been up for order for a while, but was only revealed this week. Is this upcoming figure really worth all the negativity being directed at it?

Hulkbuster Iron Man Funko POP Vinyls Figure Packaged

Word leaked out to me a few weeks ago that Funko was planning to celebrate the most marketable “new” character in the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie–Hulkbuster Iron Man–in a big way. When photos popped up this week of almost every other announced figure however, I assumed Funko was holding onto this as a big Toy Fair 2015 reveal. I assumed wrong: the 6″ Funko Hulkbuster Iron Man POP Vinyls figure has now been revealed!

Wave 62 Marvel Minimates AXIS Figures Revealed

If there’s one action figure line in all the land that keeps up with the current happenings in the Marvel Universe better than any other, it’s the Diamond Select Toys Marvel Minimates. So, even though the Avengers & X-Men: AXIS comic book series just wrapped up last month, DST already has a whole series of AXIS Marvel Minimates lined up for this summer!

Avengers Funko Fabrikations Hulk Thor Revealed Age of Ultron

Among the many, many new product lines that Funko launched in 2014, my absolute favorite is the Funko Fabrikations line of plush vinyl figures. The Funko Fabrikations Deadpool and Rocket Raccoon figures released last year were enormously popular, and I’ve been pining away for a while for news of another release in the line. Well, the announcement took a while, but there’s not one new Marvel Fabrikations Funko figure on the way–there’s four: the Funko Fabrikations Avengers Age of Ultron figures are now up for order!

You know that saying “You can’t see the forest for the trees”? Yeah–that’s about how every Marvel Legends collector feels today. The focus has been centered on the first wave of Avengers Marvel Legends 2015 figures for so long now that even though that series is finally up for order, something else has slipped through the cracks. Already packaged and coming soon to stores–it’s the 6″ 2015 Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 Thanos Series!
