Hey, how's it going, guys? I know most of you have watched the Avengers movie (twice?) already and I am pretty sure lots of folks enjoyed Hulk's scenes. I mean, Hulk may be a ravaging beast when he gets really mad but his short scenes in the movie sure were funny. As a fan, geek, and a comic book reader, I really enjoyed Hulk's parts in the movie.
What makes it a lot more awesome? Well, as collectors, we get the chance to own the figures that sport the look in the movie; and for the scale that I collect, we got the Hasbro Avengers Movie Series version and the latest one - the Marvel Select version.
When I posted my review on Youtube, a lot pointed out issues about how it looks around the 6" figures.

I couldn’t have been more stoked to see Marvel’s The Avengers. I might not be the biggest fan of the comics, but I’m a geek for anything to do with superheroes. Plus it was a Joss Whedon movie and he’s no stranger to comics. He wrote the Astonishing X-Men stories in the Astonishing X-Men Ombibus, which are some of my favorite. He was also the one responsible for bringing Firefly to life. Have you seen Serenity? Mal Reynolds would kick Tony Stark’s ass and steal a Quinjet to sell to the Alliance.
Damn it, Hasbro! More Transformers?

Like I said when I wrote about the upcoming Ninja Turtles line, the only toys I’m anticipating more right now than the new TMNT figures are the various Transformers that Hasbro has announced in the past few months. Included in those is a new Fall of Cybertron line to help out my War for Cybertron guys and a whole mess of new Transformers: Prime figures.
I mean just look at these bad boys! It’s stupid how awesome these things are!

Sadly, I’ve been reading that the recent Bandai Thundercats toyline based on the new cartoon series is dead in the water. They had a few more figures in the pipeline (including some awesome looking 6” figures), but it looks as if they may have canned them. I guess interest in these old 80’s properties among kids just isn’t as big as the big wigs think they are.
But I’m hoping that I’m wrong.

It was just days before the very first leg of Avengers Movie Event that I was around the boards waiting for news if these figures will come out. Until the very first day of the event, when I went in early for our displays ingress, I asked around if there will be new items other than the boxes, key chains, posters (that was so awesome) and the like and all the reps and even the guys handling the event had no clue. Around the afternoon, calls were coming in and SMS poured in regarding the 6" figures - they are on their way and was scheduled to be distributed the next day, Saturday.
As usual, woke up early, traveled from Tondo to Mandaluyong just for the release. Every figure of the wave is available - and not sold as a set (oh, yes!)
Enough of the story, on to the figures.
For this wave, we got the movie series Loki, Captain America (modern look), Hawkeye, Thor (re-used, new Head Sculpt), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo likeness) - and (wait for it) Iron Man Mark VI, Battle Damaged Version.
Get fed!
