Figures I'm Looking Forward To: The Avengers & GI Joe Retaliation


Black Widow and Hawkeye figures

Despite being in previous films (Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and Hawkeye in Thor), neither has been given a movie figure. Iron Man 2 had 700 different Iron Man armors including some truly awful concept armors yet no Black Widow figure. The Thor series didn’t have many figures so there was no real opportunity to get a Hawkeye figure there

Avengers Helicarrier

In this image from toyark.com (http://www.toyark.com/news/toy-fair-59/toy-fair-2012-marvel-avengers-shield-helicarrier-5341/) you can see Clayton Hodges adjusting the Quinjet while the Helicarrier is sprawled out below. I wasted no time picking up the Quinjet and can't wait until it's resting comfortably on the Helicarrier runway.

GI Joe Retaliation – Rock as Roadblock, Bruce Willis as General Joe Colton



In the first wave I got figures of Rachel Nichols (I’m a big fan from her time on Alias) and Dennis Quaid (but no Brendan Frasier figure?). This time around I’m getting The Rock, Adrianne Palicki, and Bruce Willis. I can’t wait to see what other Joes make it to the toy shelves.
