Border Patrol: Star Wars Chrome Trooper, Marvel Hulkbuster Iron Man, and Manny Pacquiao

For this edition of Border Patrol, we’ve got three custom action figures from the big (or little) screen.

Star War Black Series Chrome Trooper Captain Phasma by moomoo1366: One of the many exciting moments of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer is the appearance of a blinged out Stormtrooper. Captain Phasma, or the Chrome Trooper, is played by Gwendoline Christie, Game of Thrones’ Brienne of Tarth. That means she’s gonna be a bad-ass! Ends Wednesday, May 6, at 10:24AM PST
Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man by ingencorp_custom_figures: Even if you haven’t seen Avengers: Age of Ultron, you know that the fight between the Hulk and a pumped-up Iron Man is one of the highlights of the movie. This custom just goes to show you what a little paint can accomplish – that’s a Titan Tech series Iron Man, if you can believe that! Ends Wednesday, May 6, at 8:04PM PST
Manny Pacquiao by lucharaaan: Despite being defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a unanimous decision, the Pac-Man still reigns as the popular champ. While I’ve seen some vinyl customs of the pair leading up to their fight, I haven’t seen any of Floyd since his win. Ends Saturday, May 9, at 7:53AM PST

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

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.

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

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!

Marvel Legends EU Disney Store Exclusive Avengers 5-Pack – High Res Pics

A short while ago we came across an Instagram post of this Avengers-themed Marvel Legends 5-pack. With the Disney Store marking, we learned it was to be exclusive to the retail chain, but only in the European Union stores. Since the exclusive is comprised of re-issued figures, its exclusivity outside the United States wouldn’t raise much interest or concern. However, keen observers noted that a new interchangeable head for Tony Stark was included with Iron Man. Hard to imagine that the smallest piece in this pack could be the most sought after, but stranger things have happened.

Hasbro has shared high res pics of the set with us.

Age of Ultron Movie Vision Revealed

Origins of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver explained

Entertainment Weekly’s Summer Movie Preview issue is out this week, and it will feature four Avengers: Age of Ultron covers that you can collect and connect (R.I.P. DC Universe Classics). Together, they form a group shot of the Avengers and Ultron that is highly reminiscent of the collected covers of X-Men #1 from back in 1991. The second cover reveals Vision in his / its entirety. His design is markedly different from the two Vision action figures we know are coming in Marvel Legends.

Vision’s origin in the comics is a known quantity, but since we know there’s no Hank Pym in Avengers: AOU, we know that Ultron’s origin is different. Perhaps we’ll be surprised how Vision comes to be. The teaser for the EW issue also clarifies the origins of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Previous speculation tied them to the Inhumans as revealed in Agents of SHIELD. This helps Marvel steer clear of the licensing issues with Fox and X-Men / mutants. But they’ll actually be more closely tied to events that played out in the first Avengers movie.
