Thanksgiving Toy Run: Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier on Sale for $39.99 at ToysRUs.com

As a Rewards R Us member, I saw that the Marvel Universe SHIELD Helicarrier would be on sale in Toys R Us stores for Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I was spared having to write a diatribe about how TRU should stop treating its online customers different from its brick and mortar customers, because the Helicarrier is also on sale for $39.99 on the TRU.com website.

I won’t go so far as to call it the USS Flagg of the Marvel Universe generation, but I doubt we’ll ever see another vehicle this large from Hasbro’s Marvel team any time soon. At half off it’s a good deal, and you’ll only need to add $10 to your cart to trigger free shipping. You could also wait until TRU opens their doors at 5PM tonight to look for one in the stores – but does anyone want to go out shopping right after a big turkey meal? Isn’t Black Friday in the wee hours punishment enough? Happy Thanksgiving!

WebSwipe: Marvel Select Captain America: the Winter Soldier Movie Figures Tease – MTV.com

The second Cap-related announcement from Diamond Select Toys was more of a tease through MTV – the figures are shown in silhouettes as to not give too much away of the movie, since we’re still several months out.

Falcon has already been given a glimpse in the awesome Captain America: the Winter Soldier trailer, and I’ll guess that the DST movie Cap will feature Steve Rogers in his Super Soldier costume.

Marvel Select Winter Soldier Exclusive 1

We’ve had a couple of updates from Diamond Select Toys about their Thor: the Dark World products, but they’ve got a couple updates for the upcoming Captain America: the Winter Soldier movie. First, on the Marvel.com site, DST revealed an upcoming exclusive Winter Soldier, based on his comic book (vs. movie) look.

Bucky will be available at brick and mortar Disney Stores and online at DisneyStore.com and MarvelStore.com in the middle of December.

Captain America: the Winter Soldier Trailer Looks Awesome – Bring on the Toys!

Captain America the Winter Soldier trailer

Thor: the Dark World may be opening in two weeks, but Cap is generating his own hype with the official trailer for Captain America: the Winter Soldier. Looks awesome! I still think that while Chris Evans is great in the role of Cap, he still looks super goofy in the helmet they designed for the movie – and I think Marvel Studios knows it too, which is why it gets so little airtime in the trailer. The Steve Rogers Super Soldier costume from the comics looks great, though I don’t hold out much hope for a better looking helmet if that becomes his Cap costume in the movie (the action figure hints that the helmet will be just like the old one).

All the supporting characters look great – ScarJo looks good as Black Widow with the super straight hair we saw first in action figure form. Thankfully, Howard Anthony Mackie as the Falcon looks like a badass, and not goofy considering how his costume from the comics might have turned out in live action. And Samuel L. Jackson – looks like rough times for the eye patch are coming.

Captain America: the Winter Soldier is due out in April next year. Luckily, we have a much shorter wait for the action figures, which should be out early first quarter. We got some reveals for the Captain America Marvel Legends line (aka Captain America: The Winter Soldier – Infinity Legends) at NYCC, and Previews had some more details for the Cap line recently. And don’t worry – Cap figures based on the comics will be part of the line too.

Captain America and Daredevil: Devil’s Advocate – Bill’s Comics

It’s been a busy few days, but I live for the Fridays that I can post a new installment from Bill’s Comics. His latest features Captain America and Daredevil, which is fitting, because Cap has a movie coming out in a few months, and Daredevil… will be the new Batman in the next Superman movie. I know – that one hurts. But enjoy this comic!
