Here’s a factoid to give Marvel Hot Toys collectors nightmares: Hot Toys has already posted a double-digit number of Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys sixth scale figures for sale this year, with a total cost of over four thousand dollars–and the team isn’t even complete yet!
But after today, the roster will have just one empty spot remaining–the MMS 306 Hot Toys Thor Age of Ultron figure is now up for order! And to my surprise, this Thor is a lot cooler than I expected…

You’ve waited for her! You’ve asked for her! And now–she is finally on the way! Since months before “Avengers: Age of Ultron” even hit theaters, fans have been demanding merchandise for the Scarlet Witch.

Considering that they already premiered the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 45 sixth scale figure today–a figure that will certainly retail for well over $300–you might think that Hot Toys would be satisfied with the tens of thousands of dollars they’re about to secure.

The MMS 299 Hot Toys Iron Legion sixth scale figure is now up for order!

With no new Marvel Legends figures hitting retail and two months until the arrival of the Ant-Man movie, It seemed like May 2015 was going to be a pretty quiet and cheap month for Marvel figure collectors. Note the emphasis on “was”. See, last Friday the Hot Toys Vision figure appeared. And then yesterday the amazing Spider-Man Premium Format Figure went up for order. And today, Hot Toys decided to unveil two new sixth scale figures, of which one is a pretty big deal–the die-cast Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 45 figure is now up for order!

I get at least one or two E-Mails every day asking me when I think a major Avengers Age of Ultron Vision, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch figures are coming. The answer is always the same: “The Hot Toys versions will be the only ones up for sale this year.” It’s enormously frustrating to hear, but it’s reality.
But maybe that harsh reality will be a little easier to accept after today, as the MMS296 Hot Toys Vision figure is now available for order!

When Hot Toys acquired the licenses for Amazing Spider-Man 2, Guardians of the Galaxy and this summer’s Avengers: Age of Ultron movie, they made a major announcement for each and pretty much shouted it from the rooftops.

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…?

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!

After Iron Man 3 came out and introduced 36 new Iron Man armor permutations, it seemed like Hot Toys might not have to ever think up a non-canonical movie design for Iron Man ever again. But whether it was necessary to do so or not, that’s just what Hot Toys has done again: the Avengers Age of Ultron limited exclusive Hot Toys Movie Promo Stealth Iron Man Mark VII figure is now up for order!
UPDATE: After five hours up for sale, Stealth Iron Man is now SOLD OUT! If you want him and didn’t order yet, now is the time to get on the Wait List!

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!

Someone, somewhere, started the unsubstantiated rumor that Hot Toys would never make another 1/6 Hulk figure after the original Avengers movie version. I don’t know why, but that stigma stuck and spread, so a lot of collectors really thought that there wouldn’t be a Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk figure released. But surprise–! Not only is Hot Toys releasing a new AOU Hulk–they’ve got a second version in a Hot Toys Hulk Deluxe Set available for order as well!
