let's talk avengers toys

[Gadabout]

You've found 4" Hawkeye and Black Widow in the wild?

Hawkeye yes. I don't think they make a Black Widow though. She wasn't pictured on the packaging.

[Gadabout]

Female Figures do not sell.

Also, they did Nick Fury in that scale already. Pretty sweet figure.

Forgot about that! I regret not getting that. I bet he's pretty expensive now.

Checked a smaller wal-mart tonight but they didn't have them. Will check the other two tomorrow.

[Rocko]

There is a Black Widow in theory, there's pictures out there. I don't know that it's hit stores yet, probably not. I tell you what, this Avengers thing is giving me a feeling of major merchandise buzz. Shit is sold out at every store I go to, and then they've sold through all the Iron Man 2, Thor, and Cap shit that was pegwarming forever. This is kinda "Star Wars in 1977" level shit right now.

I needed a couple batteries for my smoke alarms, so I used that as an excuse to twirl by a Wal-Mart in a sort of secluded location. It's where I go sometimes and find stuff I don't elsewhere. Avengers figures were gone. Just a big, mostly empty space. A couple of the Caps that come with a parachute or whatever, couple Thor movie figures. If I hadn't seen these ML ones, I wouldn't have known they ever existed in the first place.

Growing up in the 80s and still loving all the stuff I loved then, it's made me a very loyal consumerist for stuff like this. I like what's going on, I want to contribute in some way and have little pieces of it. There is an awesome-ass Avengers movie out that everybody likes. It's sweet, sweet ass shit.

They did have these little things called "Heroics" that are inside of a ball, blind packed. they're under a buck each. I figured I could get 3 of those, that'll be kinda fun. Ended up with Thor and 2 different Spider-mans. Pretty cool.

At the checkout, they had these things in bags called "chibis,"that are Avengers oriented, 3 bucks for a bag of 3, blind packed, 2 or 3 bucks. I was in line a long time, so I said "what the hell" and grabbed one of those, too. Totally lucked out- Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Caulson.

So I brought home 4 Avengers figures I wanted, just not in the specific forms I would've thought of first.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Not a great looking figure. I think I would have to pass unless it looked better in person.

[Ebon]

its gots the bobbly head

[B-Lister]

Still need a Lady Sif from Thor.

And a basic Cap from First Avenger.

[powersthatbe]

btw.SDCC last year showed a third or whatever wave of 6 inch Iron Man figures,have these been cancelled?

[Year6Robin]

Damn.  It would be awesome if we could now see Shrinky Dink versions of characters like...

-JACK OF HEARTS
-BEAST
-QUICKSILVER
-SCARLET WITCH
-WONDER MAN
-The SWORDSMAN
-MOON DRAGON

And a whole slew of others!

[darthfoley]

-QUICKSILVER
-SCARLET WITCH
-WONDER MAN

If by shrinky you mean 4" MU, Quicksilver and Wonder Man are already done and Wanda will be along in the next couple of waves.  As well as a modern Beast, which is disappointing.

I'd love a Jack of Hearts.   

[The Abominable Grouch]

I would appreciate a hookup on the 6" figures if I don't find em myself.

WM exclusives are hit or miss in my area.

Do we need a "help a Mess brotha out with 6" movie Avengers" thread? I don't mind picking up extras and might need help myself.

My bad.  I didn't even realize they had been done.  And I was definitely thinking a Classic/80s era BEAST.  I totally hate the Modern BEAST, but I suppose he's entitled to have a figure.

I'd love a Jack of Hearts.

Yeah... awesome costume.  Oh shit... we need a BLACK KNIGHT, too.

[darthfoley]

we need a BLACK KNIGHT, too.

Also on the way.   

[Year6Robin]

Dammit!  Where the hell have I been!?? 

[nonameshmo34]
