Watch the Sesame Street Aveggies: Age of Bon Bon Parody

Sesame Street Parody - Aveggies - Age of Bon Bon

The Aveggies: Age of Bon Bon is the latest Sesame Street Parody, having already spoofed Breaking Bad, Star Wars and Game of Thrones flawlessly. This one is equally hilarious essentially because it shows how questionable the powers of the Avengers err the Aveggies actually are. And Bon Bon/Ultron turning all vegetables to Cookies & Cream just goes to show you how being bad can be pretty sweet, pun intended.

Watch till the end, cuz a Hulked out Cookie Monster is worth the whole five minutes of this video, and maybe the 2 plus hours I endured seeing Avengers 2… well, maybe not.

Assemble Your Own Avengers (Bears) at the Build-A-Bear Workshop

Build-A-Bear Workshop presents Marvel Avengers Assemble

As if it needed MORE hype, with Avengers 2 premiere in the U.S. today, here’s a plushie aww moment brought to you by Build-A-Bear. You, or some kid you know, can build a Hulk, Thor, Captain America and that narcissist Robert Downey Jr.  Iron Man (same thing). It’s the usual retail racket – accessories and clothing are extra, and TBH I don’t think these bears are all that cute butt naked.

A fully-assembled Avengers Bear with costume and plastic booties will run you $48.50 each, and you can add five sounds for another $7… So you gotta pony up to get super cute and talk like a real Avenger!

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Captain America (Sam Wilson), Swordsman, and Spider-Ham

Border Patrol - Marvel Legends Sam Wilson Captain America, Swordsman, and Spider-Ham

With Avengers: Age of Ultron opening this week, I thought an Avengers-themed Border Patrol would be in order.

  • Marvel Legends All-New Captain America (Sam Wilson) by wingsstoke: There’s no telling how long Sam Wilson will be Captain America, the role he’s had in the Marvel universe since November last year – but we’ll see who wielding the shield at the end of Secret Wars starting this May. In any case, it feels inevitable that Steve Rogers will regain the Cap mantle, just as he did from Bucky, and just as Tony Stark did when Rhodey temporarily took over as Iron Man. But for the time being, Sam Wilson as Cap has brought a breath of fresh air to the role. Ends Sunday, May 3, at 12:16PM PST.
  • Marvel Legends Swordsman by JLA: Old school Avengers fans will recognize the Swordsman from back in the Silver Age. He followed the Hawkeye mold of villain turned Avenger – their backstories were intertwined. However, he never quite made the full face turn like Hawkeye did. You never were sure if he was going to go back to his evil ways, even up to his death (spoiler!) Ends Saturday, May 2, at 8:59AM PST.
  • Spider-Ham by dvil-eri: Is Peter Porker a spider with the limitations of a pig? Or a pig with the proportionate strength and agility of a spider? I suppose it doesn’t matter – Spider-Ham is too cool to have gone so long without a figure for your Legends shelf. While this custom doesn’t quite measure up in terms of Marvel Legends articulation, this founding member of the Scavengers is about the right size to fit in with the rest of your Spider-verse figures. Ends Wednesday at 2:23PM.

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
