Are You Worthy of Hot Toys’ Vision (of the Avengers: Age of Ultron) Figure?
Before Avengers: Age of Ultron hit theaters, Hot Toys was already on the warpath with figures ripped directly out of those enticing opening trailers. Makes sense.

(oh yeah, spoilers…)
He’s like a sad puppy dog that could blow you to pieces on a whim. How adorable. This one is hitting stores sometime between quarter four of 2015 and quarter one of 2016. It’ll also ship with a replica of Thor’s hammer, Mjolinir, for him to hold. Which is something he can do.
Paul Bettany, of course, lent both his body and voice to the character, finally transcending the chains of voice-acting and entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe in full. He’ll be joining Captain America: Civil War, also known as Avengers 3. He’ll no doubt play a large part in the real Avengers 3, also known as Avengers: The Infinity Wars, seeing as how an infinity stone is embedded in his pink head.

Also new to the Hot Toys Avengers collection is the Ultron Mark I figure.

And let’s not talk about how this goes completely against my spoiler sensitive roll-out theory.
Ultron transforms himself into bigger and more terrifying beasts over the course of the film, but it all started with this rugged case of imperfection. If you’re a sucker for detail, you should be embracing this undoubtedly challenging sculpture. If you’re skeptical:
You’ll find the official listing for this one here. It’s set for release sometime in the first two quarters of 2016.
