Thanksgiving Toy Run: Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier on Sale for $39.99 at ToysRUs.com

As a Rewards R Us member, I saw that the Marvel Universe SHIELD Helicarrier would be on sale in Toys R Us stores for Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I was spared having to write a diatribe about how TRU should stop treating its online customers different from its brick and mortar customers, because the Helicarrier is also on sale for $39.99 on the TRU.com website.

I won’t go so far as to call it the USS Flagg of the Marvel Universe generation, but I doubt we’ll ever see another vehicle this large from Hasbro’s Marvel team any time soon. At half off it’s a good deal, and you’ll only need to add $10 to your cart to trigger free shipping. You could also wait until TRU opens their doors at 5PM tonight to look for one in the stores – but does anyone want to go out shopping right after a big turkey meal? Isn’t Black Friday in the wee hours punishment enough? Happy Thanksgiving!

Hot Toys Reveals Avengers Chitauri Footsoldier, Commander, and Two Figure Set

Hot Toys Chitauri Footsoldier and Commander Set 1

It’s been well over a year since Hot Toys teased the Chitauri footsoldier from the Marvel Avengers movie. In that time, we’ve already seen the post-Avengers Iron Man and Thor sequels. But I suppose the wait has been worth it, because they not only officially revealed the grunt, but threw in a commander and a 2-pack featuring both figures, for the army builders out there.

But if Hot Toys really wants to impress, let’s see an in-scale Leviathan. As awesome as they are, I think that might be out of their reach. 😀

Play Imaginative Super Alloy Quarter Scale Iron Man Mark 42 1

YesAnime has shared some more pics of the Play Imaginative Super Alloy Iron Man line – this time of the quarter scale Mark 42 armor that will be going up for pre-order soon. This 18-inch diecast figure will come with a bunch of accessories – pristine and battle-damaged armor pieces, four pairs of hands, and four heads to start. Included will be the fantastic Pepper Potts / Gwyneth Paltrow head sculpt from her “Rescue” moment in Iron Man 3.

There’s a lot of value here, but is it enough to warrant the $600 – $700 price tag that’s expected? What do you think?

Hot Toys Announces Thor: The Dark World Figure

Hot Toys Thor the Dark World 01

With Thor: the Dark World opening in the US a week from Friday, it’s about time that Hot Toys reveals its plans for the movie. And, not wanting to disappoint, they’ve got two versions of Thor heading our way. The first is the armored version of Thor. I’ve got the Thor from the first movie, and can see the subtle improvements in the head sculpt – this is more representative of Chris Hemsworth than the first one and the subsequent Avengers version. Perhaps not having to accommodate a helmeted look helps.

Thor is available to pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles. He’s $229.99 and due September 2014. We’ll have the second version up shortly.
