the price has dropped down for him on ebay quite a bit, I've seen a bunch of auctions end with him going for under $5 with free shipping to boot sometimes.

Eh I like Cap and Iron Man but I'll stick with the Thor from the previous movie line. Hopefully that's not the only Hulk they make. If all else fails I'll just display the grey Hulk from the last Hulk movie line.

I'm certain that they mean the IM2 figure.

Although it isn't out of the realm of possibility that a "variant" Nick Fury shows up since they mentioned nods to comic fans.

HAHAHA, hell no! it's just the Samuel L Jackson version, there's tons of international sellers who have him for $2-10, and if you don't want the other figures in the box set then I recommend buying him that way, if it was the Nick Fury exclusive I would of spent $1000 on em and sold em for $10,000 + lol, buy em for $2 sell em for $50 still half the scalper rate lol. cha-ching lol. but sadly it's not the case.

Found some more info at another forum. Apparently, we're getting a 3-foot long Helicarrier, and the Quinjet looks pretty good. Unfortunately, more disappointment for the figures themselves. Small pics and someone else's run-down below.

Marvel. SUCKFEST. Saw all the Avengers and Spidey stuff. Oh boy, is it bad. Articulation on the Avengers stuff has been cut way back across the line. Most have no body, wrist or ankle movement. The Spidey stuff all has T crotches. On the plus side, there are lots of vehicles coming out for the Avengers movie. The Justice jet gets an IM style repaint, there's a new Cap vehicle that looked like a small tank with wheels, the Quinjet and the ******* HELICARRIER!

Helicarrier is three feet long, has the usual firing missiles and ****. Looks pretty good but is only big enough for the Quinjet to fit on it's runway. The Quinjet is pretty big. Only one figure can fit in the cockpit but it has other openeing panels and stuff. There were no new Avengers figures apart from what has already been seen.

The Spidey stuff is horrible, just repaints of the same buck. Lizard is ok, but the design of his head is crap. He doesn't have the long snout. Massive fail.

The Helicarrier and Quinjet probably sell better than the figures themselves I'm betting.

HAHA. Probably true, as long as they turn out half decent. Hard to tell from the small pics, but I like what I see so far. Also gotta say, I'm pretty shocked to see both. Movie-accurate vehicles and playsets have been painfully absent from the Marvel lines.

Agreed. They'll be awesome for displays (for those who don't collect MOC) IF the price point isn't bad.

[perrych]

The Stark Jet looks like what we saw at NYCC in the diorama - what many thought would be a quinjet. The Quinjet is a little disappointing that it only seats one - couldn't they have taken out the electronics and had room for two more figures in the back - ala the old Toybiz Blackbird? The colors don't make sense in light of ... well, anything. Would red and silver been out of the question? The Helicarrier will be interesting to see in person - offhand, it looks very small but it could just be the scale due to the Cap figure in front.

It is 3 feet long. One Quinjet can park on the deck.
Quinjet has Sky-Cycle for Hawkeye. Sucks that it comes with IM.
The Stark jet is just a Captain America jet repaint.

US Toyfair can't get here fast enough to see what's really in store with some awesome pics!

Maybe at first but that will die down quickly.

The quinjet might sell decently being around the 20-35 dollar range, possibly 40 at most. 29.99 seems more likely for it.

That helicarrier though at that size? That's gotta be in the 69-99 range.

I can see a lot of people wanting to wait until sales or clearance for it, while others will grab it up in a heartbeat.

[denali33x]

i wonder if hasbro will repaint and retool the helicarrier for the joe line. maybe will finally get a new flagg.

I'm still surprised they haven't done the helicarrier as a marvel crossovers TF.

Yeah, I agree about the Stark jet being a repaint - but it is also what we saw at NYCC crashed in the diorama. And many thought it might be a quinjet. Nice surprise that it isn't - although still in better colors than the movie Quinjet!

Glad to hear that Hawkeye will get a Sky-Cycle.

I get that the Helicarrier is 3 feet long. GI Joe had a carrier after the Flagg that was about 3 feet long but was terrible scale for figures. I imagine you could land a skystriker on its deck too - but it would have looked silly. In this case - I guess its isn't length but playability. It doesn't look like it has much room to pose figures inside the helicarrier. (And to be honest, most of the action with the helicarrier happens inside the walls).

The Flagg was 7' 6" and was WAY underscaled. I'll wait to see what it looks like compared to figures.

If I buy one, it'll have to be on clearance...and only then to make a deck chair for Galactus.
Maybe make him a giant glass of lemonaide too...

When does that happen and where?

They could do a Nick Fury transforming into the Helicarrier now that's a Transformer! When that happens you can quote me on that Hasbro!

[Optimus Vader]

I bet the jet and carrier shelf warm big time. I'll probably get the giant aircraft carrier just to piss my fiance off.
