Avengers Movie Toys Launch Preview

Toys R Us Canada has posted several preorders for The Avengers Movie toyline. So how did this get our attention? Several new items were revealed! Excited about the new toys? Well, along with the good news there is also some bad news.

Building upon the UK Toy Fair Avengers Movie Toy Info posted earlier this week, we can now see just how limited the articulation is, on the mainline figures. If you were looking forward to Ultimate Hawkeye and Ultimate Thor, perhaps you might want to take a closer look. They lack abdominal articulation, and in lieu of double jointed knees, they know feature ball jointed knees. Seems like some of the mainline figures lack ankle joints and wrist swivels. This makes their articulation style closer to the 3-3/4″ Spiderman line than it does to anything else. It actually looks like the deluxe figures(now dubbed “Power Up Mission Packs”) might feature the full articulation we’ve come to expect from Marvel movie figures(like in recent years from the Iron Man, Thor, & Captain America).

On the bright side, the canceled/unreleased Iron Man 2 Exo Armors are finally seeing the light of day as Stark Tek Assault Armor, 1 for Iron Man and 1 for Captain America. We also get a much better look as the Avengers Movie Quinjet, and another Stark Tek Battle Vehicle was revealed, the Goliath Assault Tank! Other items shown include:
