Marvel Hot Toys figure news has slowed down to a trickle as we wait with bated breath and anticipation for next month’s San Diego Comic-Con 2013! But while new figure reveals and announcements are in a lull for the moment, all isn’t completely quiet on the Hot Toys front. This week two things of note occurred: the long-anticipated Hot Toys Loki figure sold out completely at the distributor level, while customers who pre-ordered received notice that their Hot Toys Agent Coulson figure will be shipping very soon…

I don’t think it would be a stretch–at all–to say that Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. was one of the biggest break-out stars of last year’s blockbuster “The Avengers” movie. Everybody knew who Iron Man and Hulk and Thor were going into “The Avengers”, but fans left theaters talking about the previously D-List character SHIELD Agent Coulson. That’s why it wasn’t all that shocking when Hot Toys announced an Avengers Hot Toys Agent Coulson sixth-scale figure last summer. And finally, after the usual lengthy wait for a spectacular Hot Toys 1/6th scale figure, Agent Coulson arrived overseas this week…

Tom Hiddleston is the heartthrob of virtually every woman (and even quite a few men) in America. So the fact that the most authentic sixth-scale figure of Tom Hiddleston ever is on the way is a pretty big deal. The fact that that figure also happens to be the villain of the Avengers movie, Loki, makes this Hot Toys figure release even more critical. It’s been a long wait for Loki (and Tom Hiddleston) fans, but the wait is just about at its end. The Avengers Hot Toys Loki Movie Masterpiece figure will be shipping out in just a few weeks–but if you haven’t already ordered him, you may end up missing out…
