Hot Toys Reveals Smoking Hot Avengers: Age of Ultron Black Widow

ScarJo as the Black Widow is the latest Avenger from Age of Ultron to get a Hot Toys figure. She joins the Hulkbuster Iron Man, the Hulk, the Iron Man Mark XLIII, Captain America, and Ultron Prime.

I like the costume accents and all the accessories that distinguish this Black Widow from her previous figures from Captain America: the Winter Soldier and Iron Man 2, but still think they may need to make slight tweaks to the head sculpt. Maybe it’s those eyes that look to be vaguely focused off in the distance.

Haven’t seen the pre-order page go up yet, but I’ll be checking Sideshow Collectibles. Avengers Assemble! [Update: The Marvel Black Widow Marvel Sixth Scale Figure is now available to pre-order at Sideshow.]

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.

Soapbox Sunday: What’s Next for Club 200X?

Is it too soon to say that Club 200X, and by extension, Masters of the Universe Classics, is dead?

We asked last week if Club 200X has the power. According to Skeletor’s Love Child, it does not. In the latest report on the subscription, SLC stated that they had just hit the halfway mark to the minimums needed to make all six figures they announced for the line. With just over a week to go, it’s not looking good.

Hot Toys Avengers: Age of Ultron – Hulk and Hulkbuster Iron Man

One of the highlights of the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailers is seeing Hulk mix it up with Iron Man in a new set of armor – the Hulkbuster armor. So it was a real treat for me to see prototypes of both figures at the Hot Toys Secret Base – their flagship retail store in Hong Kong.
