SH Figuarts Endgame Captain America Cap vs Cap Figure Up for Order in the US!

Bandai Avengers Endgame 2012 Captain America Unmasked Chris Evans Portrait

When it comes to action figures, army-builders are pretty much the gift that keeps on giving to toy companies. After all, rather than producing one unique character that most collectors will purchase a singular time, an army-builder will often be purchased multiple times with no more development expenses than a unique character. That’s why companies have seized on a special opportunity brought about by Avengers Endgame. And now, Bandai is getting in on that action—the Bandai SH Figuarts Avengers Endgame “Cap vs Cap” Captain America is now up for order in the US!

SH Figuarts Loki Avengers Figure

I’ll be catching up on discussing those this weekend, and I wanted to start with a figure I wasn’t sure would ever get released at all!

SH Figuarts Endgame Hulk Exclusive Figure US Release!

Avengers Endgame Hulk Bandai Japan Web Exclusive S.H. Figuarts Figure

For whatever reason, the Bandai Tamashii SH Figuarts Infinity War figures weren’t as big of a hit as expected domestically, with many of the figures still available a year after orders opened and some even after being discounted. Presumably because of this, we’ve seen a far narrower selection of the Endgame figures getting released in North America, and even seeming sure-things are remaining overseas exclusives. Even the Jade Giant isn’t immune to exclusivity, as he’s not getting a domestic release. But if you’ve got to have him, the SH Figuarts Endgame Hulk figure is up for order in the US on BBTS now…

SH Figuarts Endgame Thanos Figure Up for Order in the US!

Bandai SH Figuarts Thanos Endgame Figure with Sword

Many collectors of the Bandai Tamashii S.H. Figuarts like awoke today to some rather disappointing news: the Bandai SH Figuarts Avengers Endgame figures had launched overnight on all of the usual import sites–and promptly sold out from most of them! While certain figures like Ronin and Black Widow have remained available here and there on various sites, one figure predictably sold out instantaneously across all of them. Luckily, he’s getting a U.S. release for a reasonable price: the SH Figuarts Endgame Thanos figure is now up for order online in the US!

Infinity War SH Figuarts Hulk Figure in Stock on Amazon!

SH Figuarts Avengers Infinity War Hulk Figure

UPDATE 2/7/2010: It took a little while, but Amazon finally has the Avengers Infinity War Hulk figure in-stock and available! Figuarts Hulk has got free shipping and is discounted a few bucks to a less extortionate price. With this being the first time a non-Gladiator Hulk Figuarts figure has ever been available without importing, it’s a safe bet this figure will be a complete sell-through like Thanos and escalate on the aftermarket quickly, so make sure to snap one up soon if you want him…

After starting out in the US with just a few Iron Man armors, the Bandai SH Figuarts Marvel line distributed by Bluefin has exploded into of the most popular collector-focused Marvel toy lines available in the United States.

But this story has a happy ending for those who missed out—and those who didn’t may even be a little jealous—because a new S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark L Figure with Nano Weapons Set is now up for order in the US!

Size Comparison Bandai Thor Ragnarok Figuarts Hulk and Thor Figures

Earlier today I posted about the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Gladiator Thor figure—but Mezco Toyz isn’t the only company soliciting their premium Thor Ragnarok 6” figures to coincide with the movie’s launch week!

NYCC 2017: SH Figuarts Gladiator Hulk & Thor Figures!

Traditionally, Bandai S.H. Figuarts Marvel figures haven’t had a presence at New York Comic Con (since prior to last year, Bandai didn’t have a license to sell Marvel figures in the United States at all). But things are different now from how they’ve been historically, and Bluefin Distibution brought along all of the upcoming U.S. Marvel Figuarts that are on the way—including the world premiere of Thor Ragnarok Figuarts Gladiator Hulk and Thor!
