Don’t Miss the Avengers Week Giveaways at Sideshow

Sideshow Avengers Week Social Media Giveaways

I’d love to take a tour of Sideshow Collectibles giveaway storage room – they’ve always got great contests and giveaways underway! This week has been no exception. Leading up to the Avengers: Age of Ultron opening today, they’ve been running Avengers-related giveaways for most of the week. In case you’ve missed any of them, I’ve collected them here:

These contests require that you follow Sideshow’s social media accounts, so be sure to like and follow them on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

They’ve also got a Captain America Premium Format Figure going up later this morning on Facebook. I’ll send an update out later today (probably in the afternoon after seeing the movie), but if you can’t wait, just keep an eye on the Sideshow Contest and Giveaway page.

Good luck, and happy assembling!

Weekend Toy Run: The AFP “Obey” T-Shirt Edition

Obey Tribute Tee

With the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie opening today (woo woo!) I felt a tidal wave of megalomania coming over me. So what did I do? Naturally, I designed a t-shirt to soothe my overloaded positronic synapses. The “Obey” t-shirt is available on the until-now unknown Fan Tribute T-shirts page on AFP.

You see, I’ve had these feelings before, and designing t-shirts has been the only cure. Until now, I’ve never had any desire to make my t-shirts public – but I figure if I sell enough of them now (it would require enslaving the whole planet to enforce my robotic will) I’d be able to pay for our movie tickets to Avengers: Age of Ultron. After all, I’m taking my wife and my mother-in-law, and we’re seeing it in 3D. I might even be able to spring for some popcorn, too! 😉

If this is not motivation enough for you, our T-shirt partner has a free shipping code (FREE2LOVE) if you buy two items. This applies across the entire Spreadshirt site, so feel free to head over there… after you Obey, of course. Happy shopping, and happy assembling!

ThreeA Toys Ultron Pre-Order Coming May 7

3A Toys Marvel Ultron

ThreeA is jumping on the merchandising juggernaut of Avengers: Age of Ultron. The third figure in their Marvel line, following Iron Man and Doctor Doom, will be Ultron.

We’ll have been basking in the glow of the sure thing hit movie for a week (or more, if you’re outside of the U.S.) by the time the pre-order hits on May 7. We’re sure to see more details before then, like what lights up on this bad boy – better be the eyes and mouth, hopefully in red.

Hot Toys Announces Avengers: Age of Ultron Mark I

Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Mark I 01

We first saw the Ultron Mark I figure when Hot Toys teased us with a pic from their tour in Asia showing the evolution of Ultron near the start of the month. Now, with Avengers: Age of Ultron opening this weekend internationally, they’ve released the details for their latest version of Ultron, which happens to be Tony Stark’s first step in creating the misguided artificial intelligence.

The Mark I is packed with a crazy amount of detail revealed by the battle damage it suffered at the hands of some as of yet unknown Avengers enemy, but that doesn’t stop it from coming with working LEDs in all the places you’d expect (eyes, mouth, and ARC reactor). One of the accessories that comes with the figure gives another clue as to how Ultron comes into being – if you’ve watched any of the trailers it’s all pretty much laid out, but if not, don’t read the attached description too closely.

I’ll be checking Sideshow Collectibles for the incoming pre-order.

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

Marvel Legends EU Disney Store exclusive - package

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.
