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…?

“Your armor is a joke–just like your species!” Although the Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron toys have been on shelves for a couple of months now, there was a little something missing from most of the lines that have been released: a little something called Ultron himself!
But two new Hasbro Ultron figures have now appeared in stores: Titan Hero Ultron and the electronic, smack-talking Titan Tech Ultron figure!
Continue Reading →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!
Continue Reading →Earlier this week, I discussed the latest Bandai S.H. Figuarts Avengers: Age of Ultron figure to be revealed: Iron Man Mark XLV.
But while Iron Man Mark 45 was just revealed this week, the remaining Avengers SH Figuarts figures that we first saw teased months ago are also finally getting their day in the sun: the SH Figuarts Hulk, Thor and Captain America figures are now up for order!
Continue Reading →While Funko has traditionally kept their comic book movie lines of POP Vinyl figures reasonably small, after the runaway success of last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy POP! Vinyls, Funko has started to think big! As such, even though the movie isn’t even out yet, Funko already has twelve Avengers Age of Ultron POP Vinyls figures either already in stores or on the way! Three of those figures are exclusive variants, and while the first exclusive I picked up is the Funko Gamma Glow Hulk POP Vinyl, I unfortunately can’t exactly give him a glowing review…
Continue Reading →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!
Continue Reading →Now that we’re less than one month out from the theatrical release of “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, we’ve seen pretty clear looks at every character design from the movie that isn’t top-secret. Well, every character design except one–until now! While nearly every toy manufacturer out there is repainting old Iron Man Mark 42 collectibles into Mark 43, and everyone is wild for the Mark 44 Hulkbuster Iron Man, poor Mark 45 has slipped through the cracks! But no longer–the Bandai S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark 45 figure has now been fully revealed!
Continue Reading →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!
Continue Reading →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!
Continue Reading →When the listings for the Avengers Age of Ultron Funko POP Vinyls figures leaked out late last year, there was one name on the list that caught my eye: “Faded Vision”.
Images of Vision figures that had spent too long in the sun and had their paint fade to nothing flashed before my eyes, but I should have known the name was a misnomer: the Funko Phasing Vision POP Vinyls figure has now been revealed!
Continue Reading →Of all the various Avengers Age of Ultron toy lines out there, the sole one that I immediately wrote off as being junk was the Hasbro 4″ Avengers Age of Ultron figures. With the line’s wonky paint deco and five points of articulation, I genuinely thought that Hasbro had zero plans for this line that would get collectors excited. I was wrong. Coming soon to Avengers Age of Ultron 4″: Scarlet Witch, Ultron 2.0 and Iron Legion figures!
Continue Reading →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!
Continue Reading →It was a week ago today that Hasbro allowed online retailers to start taking pre-orders for the Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 Thanos Series of action figures. Because of the case-pack ratios (where four of the six figures are packed at one-per-case), the vast majority of stores are only selling full cases (or complete sets at a markup) of the Avengers Legends Wave 2 figures. But what if you just want a Marvel Legends Batroc Spider-Woman…? Have no fear: Amazon is now pre-selling all six Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 figures for about retail price and with free shipping!
Continue Reading →As it turns out, there really are six core members of the Avengers team in Avengers: Age of Ultron. When toy companies started unveiling their Avengers Age of Ultron toys and there were few Black Widow figures to be found, there was an outcry for more Black Widow merch. Well, Hasbro announced a new Marvel Legends Black Widow and the Marvel Select Black Widow figure debuted at the 2015 New York Toy Fair, and that left only one gaping omission… which has now been filled. Coming May 2015–the Avengers Age of Ultron Funko Black Widow POP Vinyls figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →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!
