Avengers Toys Released

[Mechbiter]

The new Avengers toys hit Target this week (on Wednesday apparently). Didn't get to check prices, will have a propper look tomorrow.
Have yet to see them anywhere else at this stage.

[gantz]

Havent reached Canberra's yet, but can't be far now, thanks heaps for the update :)

Were they the comic series?

[Mechbiter]

While most of them were listed as Movie Series, there were 1 or 2 figures listed as Comic Series and even one figure listed as Concept Series.

I didn't actually get to go back to Target but I checked and our Big W & Kmart didn't not have these figures yet either.

[Tallestblue]

Picked up Cap, Loki, Thor and Iron Man.

Nice toys but dissapointed to find out Hasbro has drop a lot of the Articulation that the Thor and IM2 toys had.

[Zippo]

Wow after not getting Thor and Captain America toys, New Zealand has managed to get Avengers. Still expensive and I expect Wave 1 to be restocked over and over and over again.

[SkyWarp91]

+1

Yep I saw the toys at TTP K-Mart and was surprised at how lacking in articulation these figures were :(

[Sharky]

The local toys r us has stocked these but what suprised me is they restocked the captain America figures too with we whole bunch of new figures, red skull heroic age cap crossbones etc... These would be great tO pick up but I can't justify the prices on them. 17.95 or what ever they are is not worth it for the size and basically is what killed collecting marvel for me

[gantz]

I'm really disappointed with The Avengers toys.

I was going to pick up movie Cap, but he has a closed fist :confused: why would they have done that?!

And it looks to be on most of the others also :(

Unless they release a 6 inch line.....

[5FDP]

Target ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kIienFpPzk&feature=player_embedded) for Avengers. So awesome!

[STL]

I bought the Iron Man Firestrike. Really, really happy with the futuristic design and looking forward to the Quinjet.

Can't say I care for the figures but I'm a sucker for futuristic design. Looking forward to the Legos as well. They look awesome

[gantz]

Screw the 3.75 Figs, I will wait and hold out till the 6 inch are released.

And they have interconnecting stands :D

I agree. Those under-articulated 3.75 figures do nothing for me but those 6-inchers have made me start thinking about maybe getting the movie cast in this scale. The fact they're exclusives though is a bit of a downer.

[gantz]

Yeah, it's gonna make it hard acquiring 'em, ebay etc but well worth it.

Can't believe how cheap and nasty the 3.75's are :confused: clsed fist Cap, and Iron Man just looks way too skinny.....

[Meangreen]

Man, they're sure pumping out the figures for the big Avengers push. Look at these two new Comic series box sets that have just been discovered.

At Marvelous News (http://i.marvelousnews.com/g/index.php?mode=album&album=Finds%2FAvengers_Boxsets%2F&dispsize=600&start=0)

That first pack will definitely interest some collectors with a few re-releases of harder to find figures.

[gantz]

:eek: OH MAN! Check out that Hulk!

I'd like to think with this movie being a huge blockbuster, perhaps we'll actually see a few of theses in retail*

Target did have the single quinjet, not the bigger one, just the one that kinda looks like a Gran Prix car, but flies.








*Though I'd put money on not

[/SIZE]
We can only hope. They are gonna milk that hulk mold to death though. It's already coming single packed, comic packed AND as Red Hulk in a team pack. Not that it's a bad figure or anything.

You need to pick up Caps from the Captain America Movie line, which should still be available at some independent toy stores (like Toyworld) or can be picked up on ebay.com.au for a song.

They featured much greater articulation, and no gimmicky shield launchers.

ML Avengers Wave 1 and Wave 2 are 'cheap' toys, in that they feature reduced articulation so that there is greater profit for Hasbro. I am hoping that future waves will be a little more upmarket, but picking from the Cap line is a good temporary solution.

[gantz]

The 6 inch Marvel Legends look to have great articulation:

http://i.marvelousnews.com/g/index.php?mode=album&album=Finds%2FAvengers_Legends%2F%2F&dispsize=600&start=0

:confused:

Perhaps you have gotten the 3.75 movie line confused with 6 inch Walmart exclusives....

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Couldn't believe how bad the little line looks. I was excited at the prospect of another Hulk, but I almost lost my lunch when I actually saw one.

Until I see something better, I am not touching these with someone else's money, let alone my own.

[gantz]

Hey guys, let me know when you see the 6inch line start to pop up :)

Have decided the smaller line is just a joke!

[Tallestblue]

Hey guys, let me know when you see the 6inch line start to pop up :)

the 6 inch line is Walmart exclusive. We rarely if ever see those.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, it saddens me too.
BUT If we did get them here they'd be 25-30 bucks or something horrible.

[gantz]

Sorry, I know they won't hit locally should clarify, what I meant was when and if you see 'em pop up online, obviously they'll hit ebay etc I hope to grab them from there.

[GL-Sideswipe]

I'm wanting to get that 6 inch line as well, although I do want the mini mighty Muggs too :P

[JuzMel]

Wanted to get this super adorable plushies from Disney Store, but for some funny reason, there are some items that are not allowed to be shipped overseas and these Avengers Plushies were one of them, bummer!

Anyone seen the Quinjet toy yet?

Dude you can buy these avengers funko toys at Minotaur if you live in melbourne :P and if not im sure there would be an equivalent store wherever you live :)

[gantz]

Anyone seen the Quinjet toy yet?

No, only the single jet that comes with Iron Man, scouting this weekend and if I find nay will let you know :)

[MECHA MALAKA]

I gotta say the FAR better sculpt of the avengers line than any movie 3.75's made me forget the limited articulation and I dont regret buying them, The IRON MAN mk 6 and 7's look amazing and the IM2 MK6 tho better articulated looks like rubbish compared so yeah so I can't pose them in crazy poses ok! I will complain about that but if its sculpt OR articulation ya gotta chose from I choose sculpt! but GOD DAMMIT does the price call for BOTH LOL

any word on 6" MK7? all I see is a MK6 with crappy new paint aps!

[SkyWarp91]

I saw the 3.75" line in stores today and I'm going to have to disagree with you Mecha, the sculpts seem worse and the paint apps are just abysmal. Especially on Iron Man who looks so much worse than his independent movie versions.

[Meangreen]

Ok, having seen the film and taken a long hard look at the 6' figures I'm pretty sure I'll be buying them all. I even ordered a IM2 Armored Avengers Mk VI so I could skip the battle damaged one.

The only issues I can see with the 6' line so far is Cap's masked head, hated that aspect of the costume, and the complete absence of a 6' Black Widow. Other than that I'm set!

[gantz]

What 'Green said.

Do we have a rough release date for these? Can't remember how soon the 6inch line was released after 1st Avenger.

waaaaat!?!?!? ok I was actually talking about the Iron Man figures as I have only seen the rest on card or on the net but dude you have to look again, the sculpt is exact and accurate just lacking in articulation but they look perfect sure QC is a problem but sculpt wise they are spot on ,the IM2 figures look terrible!
The hulk is unforgivable tho its just shithouse and looks NOTHING like the Avengers hulk ,Thor's head sculpt is far better and Loki looks amazing, the rest I'm yet to make a decision about but yeah bring on AVENGERS 6" but so far we have only been shown new Cap,loki,hulk and Hawkeye they better not be selling the Thor movie thor and mk6 figures only

[Meangreen]

What 'Green said.

The buzz seems to be that they will probably be released between the theatrical release date and the DVD release date, probably leaning towards the latter I'd say. But it is just buzz...

[GL-Sideswipe]

The 6" Avengers figures are for preorder on BBTS, around $250 including postage for all 6 figures. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS21845&mode=retail

[Cat]

I haven't kept up with the toys. I have the Mk 7 in my BBTS pile of loot, for my Iron Man Armoury.

I just saw that there is an Ultimate Hawkeye figure. I love Joe Mad's art, and really want that figure!

Anyone know if it's available here, or has one for sale?

[Cat]

And it looks to be the same bloody Iron man figure they released for Iron Man 2. Now fair enough he wears the Mk 6 in the film again, but I was really hoping for a Mk 7 to add.

[gantz]

Do you guys think the close to $250 for the set is worht it?

I'm currently on the fence about whether to pre-order 'em or not :confused:

Cap and Hawkeye look great, not sure how Loki and Hulk will end up though.....

[gantz]

Well after looking through what pics I could, I have pre-ordered the set!

[Tallestblue]

And I preordered the six inch figures AND A case of Wave three of the 3 3/4 figures Just for Black Widow and Hawkeye. I'm sure I can do something with all those Hulks.

[Meangreen]

I've just put my pre-order in for a case of the six inchers today. They seem to be getting so much hype so I knew I had to get in there to be sure of getting all the ones I need.

They've just been sighted at retail in the US too. Not long now!

[gantz]

Awesome Guys :D

Any thoughts on Iron Man M.6 and Thor being repackages? From the pics I could find, Thor looks to be a new sculpt, longer hair and possibly new head sculpt?

[Zippo]

Can't be bothered with a new topic - found the new Spider Man toys today.
Man they look bad! While Avengers toys loose articulation, they still look good. Spider Man toys look like Green Lanturn toys this time around ..

[Mechbiter]

Makes you wonder what Hasbro are thinking? :confused:

Oh that's right... cheep crappy toys cost less to make which equals profit! :rolleyes:

[reillyd]

I did see new figures at Kmart Helensvale. There is a new cap, and a new Thor with his helmet. I was kind of hoping to see black widow or hawk eye, so I am not sure if it was cleared out before they got there, or if this is. A transitional wave but not a full release. Anyone seen non-wave one stock? Or a quinjet?

[gantz]

Cant even find myself a Ult. Hawkeye :confused:

Given up on Australian retail, there truly is no point at all bothering.

[gantz]

Well...... F@$K!


Hi - our source for this item has unfortunately just notified us that they will be unable to secure the figures for us as previously planned. We are working with a backup source, but do not anticipate much success with them. We will keep preorders open for now, but strongly advise that you secure the figures elsewhere if you are able to. I'm really sorry about the problem with this item, this source has been reliable in the past, but did not come through this time, my apologies.

Thanks

[SkyWarp91]

Well...... F@$K!

well what figure was it ?

[gantz]

Meangreen, Tallesblue and myself had ore-ordered the Walmart 6" exclusives Avengers line :(

Guess we wont have much of chance now, eBay has some hitting $60 US.

Whoa man, that's the baddest news Gantz. I feel for you. I'm crossing my fingers though as my order was placed with Robot Kingdom. Hopefully they can still pull through for me....

[gantz]

Well one hope is that Big W gets 'em in!

They received the 'Discover The Force' Walmart Exclusive line, not meant to be available outside of America.

They restocked those 3 times, so whatever happened with them being at the Big Dubz, hope it happens again with The Avengers :)

[reillyd]

Woolworths Runaway Bay had a new case of avengers put out, and it appears to be a different or variant wave to what was in stores. There's a comic series Captain America with parachute like gear, and a shield that has guns built in. There's also a Thor with a Sword Spike, and one other type of cap from memory. No hawkeye (comic series) or movie series.

So not a brand new wave, maybe 1.5? I really hope we get Wave 2, because I can't afford to import a case and then have four shelfwarming hulks.

[Tallestblue]

Well ReillyD, I'm doing the case thing so I can get Widow, Hawkeye and the two Skrulls, and a lucky lucky boy is getting himself a near full set of Avengers figurines from me as belated birthday present.

[reillyd]

Very sensible, but what are you going to do with all those useless hulks? Unless a store has a very generous return/store credit policy you'll be stuck with them.


Hmm...... useless hulks, or pretty black widow..... decisions decisions.
I know I'll probably cave and get order a set from robot kingdom, but would welcome suggestions on how to recoup some of the cash from hulk madness.

Now if only the skrull soldier was the troop builder....sigh.....

[Meangreen]

My case of 6 inch Avengers arrived!

http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo232/Bullfinger/Random%20Toy%20Pics/Avengers.jpg

So glorious. Robot Kingdom even threw in a free poster. Here's to the reveal of another wave I say.

[gantz]

Good on you, MG!







:(

[Meangreen]

Mmm, It's a shame your order got canned Gantz. Was that official though? or just a potential cancellation?

People in the US seem pretty confident there will be many more shipments of these anyway. Might be able to get some once the rush for them dies down.

[gantz]

Well I got the email I posted, and checked the site yesterday, and it stated 'PRE-ORDER SOLD OUT'

So either internationals couldn't be catered too, or no one was successful ordering from BBTS.

Still thinking Big W could get 'em in.

I check online most days, they're so grossly over-priced atm.

[reillyd]

Kmart Robina had 2x Skrull Soldier, 2x Hawkeye, which means that we ARE getting the next wave of figures, adn should be rolling out (to Kmarts at least!)

Before you get excited, that's the MOVIE Hawkeye figure. We never did get the concept one released here for some wacky reason.

[Tallestblue]

If I see a Black Widow i may Punch a wall....


(I'm cranky because I paid fifty bucks for the new Power Attack Joker figure from ebay and then saw three in a row at Retail stores the next day.)

[Cat]

I caved and got an Ultimate Hawkeye off eBay.

Total was a smidge under $30, so not bad.

[Cat]

In my latest BBTS order that arrived today, Fusion Iron Man should be in there.

I hope that's the right one. I just want a 4inch Mk 7 for my armoury display.

I'll also need to get a Mk 7 6inch, which looks like I'll be able to get.

I'm also hoping for a Revoltech mk 7.

[Cat]

Geez.

I'm happy to have a Mk7 for my armoury, but geez, this Iron Man is crappy. So little articulation.

Is there a better version, one that's more like the Iron Man 2 figures?

Or is that it?

[Tallestblue]

They're coming out with a Super-Poseable Mark VII soon
it's in Wave Four with Nick Fury and the "Mystery Villain" which is more than likely a Chitauri warrior.

[verboten82]

dunno if anyones posted this but the Shield Hellicarrier playset is out in toys r us chadstone....at $149.... they can get stuffed:mad:

[reillyd]

Nick fury and Chitauri bought from Kmart for 15.75.
No more buying cases for me :)

[reillyd]

Nick Fury, Black Widow and the new Chiataru also sighted at Woolworths stores, if you're Kmarts are cleared out.

[Cat]

Anyone want the 6inch Iron Man MK6, And War Machine from Iron Man 2, the Hasbro Wal-Mart exclusive figures?

I think I've also got the MK5.

They're still sealed on card, however both card tops have been folded. They're great for openers.

I think it's time to downsize some of this.

[Cat]

Also: Selling off MU figures.

Is there much demand for them? I'd like to downsize, and stick to favourites, but I'm not even sure if they're worth selling.

Most are loose, some are still MOC.

Same with old Toy Biz Legends (and some Hasbro ones, actually).

[Fungal Infection]

If you have a Hawkeye and Black Widow from the Toybiz legends I'd be very interested. I'm sure if you listed what you have for sale, there'd be many takers.

I would definitely be interested in your Legends, both Toy Biz and Hasbro :)

Need a Ms Marvel and She-hulk amongst others.

Not a worry if MOC or not.

[Cat]

I'm guessing the market on them has plummeted due to (sometimes) superior figures over some TB releases.

[Mechbiter]

Put up a list & prices Cat. It's worth a shot.

Wholeslew of Marvel universe figures showing up at TRU and toy worlds now

Sadly Nighthawk and Hercules aren't on my most wanted list for MU..

[Zommael]

Looks like the Marvel Legends Target have for their toy sale are wave 1 (boooo) and the complete set of Iron Man Legends (yay). The movie Iron Patriot looks AMAZING.

[XMan]

I still need a Thor. I've only seen the Comic Series Iron Man Legends at Target so far.

[Zommael]

Keep your eyes peeled. Both three figure waves are in Target Rocky. Provided they still have them left when I get paid I'm going to get a set.

[Dkaris]

Where are the best places (online or retailers) to pick up the marvel legends figs? I really want black panther when hes released.

[Pandapool]

Hi all, great forum. Sorry to bump a really old thread with my first post but I thought I'd share what I found online at ToysRUs.com (the US site).

They currently have the Avengers 3.75" Hasbro toyline Helicarrier for $29.99USD (the one that retailed in Australia for $149.99) and Quinjet for $14.99USD (I spent $69.99 at Target for mine).

They offer postage to Australia, it is quite steep but it would still see the Helicarrier at your door for about $70.00AUD and the Quinjet for about $45.00AUD which is still much better than the local retail prices and at least equal to the best sale price I have seen in Australia on either of these items.

I have had a couple of these items sent to a friends house in the USA until I can work out the cheapest way to ship bulk items to Australia.

Also, as I am a new and unproven member I can't post in the sale threads but I have several of the Avengers 3.75" Movie figures from Hasbro all near mint and on card that I wish to part with. If by chance anyone was still interested in this underwhelming line perhaps you could send me a message with some info on how I could gain access to the sales threads.

This may be the incorrect forum to inquire about such things but I can always edit so what the hell... Does anyone here have experience with bringing in bulk toys from the US? I was thinking on filling up a standard size pallet with toys if it could be shipped for a reasonable price.

All the best,

:mad:Pandapool:mad:"The species that endangers you!"

[Gofigure]

Scored a couple of quinjets at target for $12 a few months ago...that was a good deal. Never saw the helicarrier in the wild but felt it would be a nice joe vehicle ;)

[Pandapool]

Spewing I missed those $12 Quinjets! Was that a clearance markdown at your local store or an advertised/unadvertised special available nationally. If anyone knows of any $12 Quinjets still in the wild please let me know!

I personally was really disappointed with the Helicarrrier. It is flimsy and far too small. A single Quinjet on the deck dwarfs the thing. To think I should be able to line up 5 - 10 Quinjets on the deck of a Helicarrier at even half scale makes this laughable.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=393267090794882&set=pb.100003347830290.-2207520000.1401862963.&type=3&src=https%3A%2F%2Ffbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net%2Fhphotos-ak-prn2%2Ft31.0-8%2F1014525_393267090794882_561260755_o.jpg&smallsrc=https%3A%2F%2Ffbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net%2Fhphotos-ak-xfa1%2Ft1.0-9%2F1586_393267090794882_561260755_n.jpg&size=1632%2C976

If you wanted it for GI Joes as a substitute perhaps for the long discontinued and almost unattainable to non millionaires HMAS FLAG (the single largest playset ever produced, and arguably the most awesome) then I suspect you would be disappointed. I only wish Hasbro would find the guts to produce a Helicarrier playset of that scale but I suspect that is a wish that will forever go unfulfilled.

Got the USS flagg. 98% complete. My holy grail of the joe world.

Just need the room to set the bad boy up

[Pandapool]

USS Flagg... my bad, HMAS Flag hahaha aussie all over. So jealous that you have one.

[ChlorHex]

Another 3 3/4" figure collector!
Yes! :D
I got my Quinjet from Target at 24 bucks.
Gofigure informed me of the later 12 bucks deal but by the time I got to my nearby Target, they were all sold out :mad:
The Helicarrier isn't worth purchasing as I managed to look at the toy in an opened box at a local TRU.
It's just a hollow piece of flat plastic on a couple of plastic stumps... like a little table.
Extremely disappointing piece.
I wouldn't go through too much hassle to ship a crate in.
Nothing compared to a Flagg... No way.
But if you're getting it cheap then it's alright :)

[davieanix]

Avengers Marvel Legends Hulk/Ultron/Vision 3 pack at Target. Heeeeeeeeeaps there, will obviously be a catalogue item in the Toy Sale. $80

[Zommael]

It's $59 in the toy sale. Definitely getting one.
