Weekend Toy Run: Marvel Shop Free Shipping and Hulkbuster Pre-Order

Free shipping promo ends today; Hulkbuster ships July 1

With all the Avengers: Age of Ultron hype this weekend I somehow missed that the official Marvel shop is running a free shipping promotion and that they have the new Marvel Select Hulkbuster Iron Man up for pre-order. To qualify for free shipping, just use code “ULTRON” while checking out – don’t worry, you won’t be unleashing a mad robot intent on the destruction of the human race. The free shipping promo ends today.

And if you’ve got a Hulk problem in your action figure collection, then pre-order the Marvel Select Hulkbuster Iron Man, exclusive to the Marvel Shop and Disney Stores. Diamond Select Toys says it’s “inspired by Iron Man’s appearance in Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron” but we know this bad boy is straight out of the comics. Long-time collectors may remember the Hulkbuster that came with the Toy Biz Marvel Legends Legendary Riders wave – I loved that Iron Man, but this update looks a lot less like a toy, and much more like a kick-ass suit of armor.

Webswipe: Gotham Action Figures Coming from Diamond Select Toys – TV Insider

If you thought DC Collectibles had the lock on action figures for DC’s live action TV shows, Diamond Select has got news for you. They’re producing action figures for Gotham, the hit TV show that Fox renewed for a second season back in January. The first wave, which we’ll see in person at San Diego Comic-Con this summer, will include Jim Gordon, Oswald Cobblepot, and Selina Kyle.

Similar to how DST handled the Sin City Select action figures, the Gotham figures will be in 7-inch scale and come with play sets, like the pier base that comes with Cobblepot. No word yet if they’ll use the “Select” style packaging in use for Marvel, Star Trek, and Sin City or if the line will be known as Gotham Select. But we do know to expect the figures this fall, for $24.99 a pop.

Marvel Legends Thanos – Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thanos

As you may have seen, while I was traveling, I was lucky enough to pick up the Marvel Legends Batroc and Spider-Woman (see their fly-by video) on the pegs at a Hong Kong Toys R Us. I had a pre-order for the Marvel Legends Thanos wave at Amazon (they’re all in stock at regular or sale prices, except for Spider-Woman), and now the rest of the wave, Iron Man, Hulk, and Captain America are here.

That means I can complete my Thanos Build-a-Figure, who was missing his right arm and both legs. I opted not to pick up Hellcat because I didn’t want to be tempted by the leftover BAF piece – like Spider-Woman, she comes with Thanos’ head and left arm. The completionist tendencies (which I am trying to break) will probably win out in the long run.

Get Matt Fraction’s Hawkguy (aka Marvel Select Avenging Hawkeye) at Marvel.com

If you’re a fan of Matt Fraction’s Hawkguy, now you can own his action figure. The Marvel Select Avenging Hawkeye is available now at Marvel.com. He’s just in time, too – due to delays to the series finale, the figure managed to beat the last issue of the critically-acclaimed Hawkeye, by Fraction, Aja, and Hollingsworth, to the stands.

Hawkguy is loaded with accessories – he comes with a compound bow and crossbow, 6 arrows, hands for gripping and drawing the bowstring, and interchangeable heads (one with sunglasses, one without). But the real prize is Lucky, aka Pizza Dog – the first non-powered, one-eyed pooch to star in his own super hero comic book. Get this figure now, bro!

Marvel Legends Thanos Wave – Batroc, Spider-Woman and Thanos

Although Amazon has moved up its delivery timeframe on the Marvel Legends Avengers Infinite Series, the Thanos wave still isn’t due to ship until late March / early April. I was lucky enough to be in Hong Kong, and even more fortunate that my wife convinced me to stop in the Toys R Us at the Ocean Terminal on our last day there. And even though I had a pre-order already, I couldn’t stop myself from picking up Batroc the Leaper and Spider-Woman.
