Hot Toys Teases Avengers SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson and Chitauri Footsoldier

When I first rounded up the upcoming Hot Toys Avengers line-up, I joked that we only needed Phil Coulson and Maria Hill to complete the cast. Now we’re down to Maria Hill. The “Son of Coul” looks like he’ll come with the mystery SHIELD weapon and a set of Captain America cards (hopefully not bloodied).

The Chitauri footsoldier looks here like it’s at an earlier stage of development, but Hot Toys says both prototypes will be at Ani-Com in Hong Kong this weekend, along with the Hulk and the Mark VII Iron Man. For these two figures in particular, I wonder how many folks are thinking of army building for other SHIELD agents and the Chitauri invasion force. I’d like to, but I’d need to win the lottery first.

SDCC 2012: Hot Toys Batman, Expendables, Metal Gear Solid, and Avengers

Ready to get your mind blown? Hot Toys (via Sideshow Toys) had a number of 1/6 scale Batman vehicles on display, including the classic Batmobile from the 60’s show. I also snapped pics of a couple of Barney Ross figures from the Expendables, Metal Gear Solid, Batman, and Avengers figures.

Which Hulk Figure is the Strongest One There Is?

Face-Off-Hulk

I tried to like Angst Lee’s Hulk, and while the Incredible Hulk did a little better, it wasn’t until I saw the Avengers movie that I thought, at last – a Hulk truly worthy of the big screen. And now I’m in the market for a new Hulk figure that’s worthy of the Avengers movie’s Hulk. Funny how that works, right? Now, both Marvel Select and Hasbro have movie Hulks, and from what I’ve seen they both feature pretty good sculpts and pretty good articulation.

My de facto Hulk for the past few years has been the very awesome Marvel Legends Face-Off Hulk (pictured above). I really love the head sculpt (and I’m not necessarily looking for a Ruffalo Hulk) and the size is about right for what I’m looking for. On the downside, he doesn’t have any ab articulation, and the range of motion on his elbows is pretty limited. Given these thoughts, which Hulk would you recommend for me? Marvel Select Hulk or the Hasbro Hulk exclusive to Wal-Mart? Or is the Face Off Hulk still the strongest one there is?

Let me know what you think!

Diamond Select Toys Avengers Movie – Marvel Select Hulk and Minimates

You might think that the price point on the Hot Toys Avengers movie figures is a little too rich for your blood. Or maybe you want something to satisfy that Avengers craving *today*. If so, DST has a couple of new releases on shelves now.

I’m thinking that the Marvel Select Hulk could capture Mark Ruffalo’s likeness a little better, but I don’t really mind. This Hulk has an ab tilt and swivel, two fists, bicep swivels, and DC Universe Classics hips. Innovation is allowing DST to cram more functional points of articulation into the limit prescribed by their license. Kudos to the designers!

And if you’re looking to army build a Chitauri invasion force, Minimates might be the way to go. Might also be the only way to get a movie Maria Hill figure.
