Review – The Hulk – The Avengers (Movie), Marvel Select

Marvel Select Legends Hulk Avengers Movie Captain America Iron Man Thor Mark Ruffalo Joss Whedon

While figure collectors everywhere are still waiting with baited breath for the Hasbro 6″ movie Avengers figures to hit retail, Marvel Select has just released a figure of the Hulk from the movie. My local comic shop, Keith’s Comics in Dallas, TX, got them in yesterday. I went and picked one up and felt the need to review him right away!

Mark Ruffalo did a fantastic job as Bruce Banner, and the Hulk in the Avengers movie. That’s right, that was Ruffalo, doing some motion capture acting for Hulk, so it would be entirely his performance. I love that.

And as much as I am still very much going to buy the 6″ Hasbro movie Hulk, I couldn’t resist picking up this green behemoth as well!

Keep reading to find out if Hulk smashed (go I hate myself for that) my expectations.

News – Marvel Legends Avengers Movie Figures in Package, Hulk Revealed

Hasbro Marvel Legends 2012 Movie Avengers Hulk Hawkeye Captain America Loki Thor Iron ManApparently the Hasbro Marvel Legends movie Avengers figures have leaked, and thanks to xmeteorz of TheFwoosh forums, we have new images of the Walmart exclusive figures!

Most of these were already revealed as prototypes at conventions within the last year, however here we get a peek at a not yet revealed figure: Movie Hulk! That’s right, it looks as if Hasbro is making a Hulk figure based on his appearance in the Avengers movie in Marvel Legends style. He looks pretty big in package. They even had to fold his arms and squat his legs just to get him to fit in the package.

Hasbro stated that these figures will be released either before or during the release of the Avengers movie on Blu-ray/DVD. Some of these 6″ figures feature the new style of rocker ankles Hasbro has been implementing, such as the movie Hulk figure. However, Iron Man seems to be a repack from the previous Walmart exclusive Iron Man 2 6″ figure wave. Each figure comes with a display stand.

In addition, images of the cardbacks can be seen, showing the cross-sells!

News – New Hi-Res Image of Hasbro’s Avengers Hellicarrier Playset

Last week I posted several images from the UK Toy Fair showing off Hasbro’s Avengers toys. Included in that was the Hellicarrier. The image was very small and could hardly be made out. But now, it seems as if IGN has gotten a hold of a hi-res image of Hasbro’s upcoming 3ft long S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier for their Avengers movie toy line. It comes with a Captain America figure and features 4 firing projectile deck cannons. Still no word on price but that should hopefully be revealed next weekend during the New York Toy Fair.
