The Avengers: Age of Ultron Figures are Beginning to Roll In

By on February 6, 2015

The film itself might not hit theaters until May 1, 2015, but that doesn’t mean the Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron merchandising train can’t fill in its coal and get those pistons pumping. Indeed, we featured the LEGO Avenger’s Helicarrier not too long ago, which, while based on the first Avengers film, will no doubt see interest due to the upcoming reunion of Marvel’s favorite heroes. To follow suit are those deliciously detailed figures and figurines that accompany any major fantasy release.

The first, and most impressive, is a duet of battling frenemies, Iron Man in his Hulkbuster suit and, of course, the Hulk raging out on each other, from the sculptors at Kotobukiya. Marvel revealed these guys through its website.

As separate purchases they’ll be impressive enough, but together it’s quite the striking image, the details and proportions drawn directly out of the first trailers for Age of Ultron.

For comparison, here’s that original trailer again, ominous James Spader and all.

Kotobukiya’s figures are among the most intricately designed, especially with an aim to recreate with exact detail the events of the trailer, but Hot Toys is taking a bit of a different, more stylized route. Dubbed the Artist Mix Collection series, Hot Toys is collaborating with different design companies to combine the style of an originating inspiration and that of its designer’s particular take. For Avengers: Age of Ultron, Hot Toys is collaborating with Touma, out of Japan, for a series of pretty cool bobbleheads. Most notably, this line is getting ahead of the Ultron game with three representations of that character.

Hot Toys also has its own hyper-realistic line-up for Avengers: Age of Ultron, actually detailing the faces of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers within their respective suits.

Sadly, not a single one of these items is up for sale just yet, but you can pre-order most of the Hot Toys figures. Head over to their respective links, or the Hot Toys website, for more info.
