Soon we have a Hulk.
If there’s one figure from the Hot Toys Avengers line I want, it’s the Hulk.

There’s much debate on whether he’ll have a rubber body or not.
According a recent interview by HK Figure Club with Howard Chan, Howard said Hulk is in progress, the body will not be fully rubber.
This still could mean the upper body and arms can be made of rubber.

Although looking fantastic, rubber has the tendency to fold ugly, ripple and tear with posing and wither over time. I would like my high-paying collectible to last longer than one year.
Time will tell.

Other highlights from the interview with Howard Chan are:

Another poster for The Amazing Spider-man, three day before the new trailer for the movie, set to hit theatres july 3rd.
Besides looking as a previous Spider-man 2 poster, it’s nothing new really. We’ve seen the image before and made it into a similar fanmade poster.
A few changes are added. The most obvious are: The reflective mirror lenses are replaced with bug-like ‘eyes’. There’s some blood/battle damage on the suit. The left foot is replaced.
Enjoy the hi-res version.
Looking familiar? Nice detail is Spider-man’s wounds are on the same places as in the Spider-man 2 movie poster.

The third announcement of collectible figurines from the Avengers movie, is Captain America.
Released by Hot Toys before for it’s own movie “Captain America: The First Avenger“, this time the captain has a modern outfit and a fully sculpted head of Chris Evans who plays the character in both movies.
It’s the first time Hot Toys releases a sculpt of an actor with his mouth open. Or in this case with gritting teeth. I feel the likeness of Chris Evans is so-so. It has something off… But I like the sculpt.
I really liked Cap’s WOII outfit. It made him look tough. This new costume has some getting used to it. And I’m still not used to it. It’s is very ‘Captain Amerca’ and more true to the comics that it WOII variant, but is doesn’t make him look moere like a ‘leader’ or is impressive.
.
As a Hot Toys figure, I am very much in doubt to get him or not. I already have the “First Avenger” Captain America. Which I really like. The Avengers Captain does have some nice features the Cap I already have doesn’t has. Like the sculpt, the battle damaged shield, better articulation and a modern look. Looking at some of the promo photos the outfit around abdomen does bend or fold in a strange way when posing the figure. It doesn’t look nice.
.
I guess it depends on the price. If within the same price range as Nick Fury, I might consider buying. Fact is, he’s pretty different from the previous release. In the meantime Hot Toys released a teaser for their new Avengers Thor figure. I seems to me he’s more of the same of the one I have. The sculpt has to be a lot better for me considering buying a new Thor. We’ll just have to wait and see. For this Captain America. I wanna wait what the new Black Widow and Iron Man mark VII will look like.

Another clip from the new The Avengers movie. This is one minute of pure bad-ass awesomeness.
In the clip Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Thor (Chris Helmsworth) are tangled in a classic superhero vs superhero fight. This clip originally premiered at ITunes. Enjoy

Just after the release of the IMAX poster for the Amazing Spider-man, Yahoo! Movies just released the theatrical poster. Nothing fancy and not giving a lot to look at, but I still like this poster.
The posters are the sameway meaningless as the posters were for Raimi’s Spider-man movies, but in an other colour scheme. So the fan-made poster a few days back wasn’t that far off…
Ik like the way Spider-man is stuck to the building. A very classic pose. Still I hope for more ‘designed’ poster featuring more cast to really differentiate itself from it’s previous movie incarnation.
What do you thing of it?
