This is the first half of the NEW Avengers movie figure. I'm still on the look out for Captain America and Hulk to complete the 6 figure set. The cards you see to the right of the figures are the Hotel Key cards from Wyndham. Total of 6 featuring all the heroes. Attachments:

Not as interested in the 6" line. Though I guess we will get a Black Widow 6" for the next movie. I might wait & buy them then. Or I may buy the DST figures if they make everyone. For now I figure I'll enjoy the little 4" line. Picked up Hulk, Thor & a barely articulated Iron Man with the Assault Jet. Have Cap, regular Iron Man, Widow & Hawkeye on the way.  Plan to pick up the Hellicarrier too...it's not a great representation, could have used a little control room somewhere & maybe a fig like Fury or Hill, but it will make for a fun display piece.  Some people aren't happy with the Black Widow figure, but I think she looks pretty darn good considering she is only 4" tall!  |

The 6" line isn't even being released in the UK, I'm having to strike deals for imports - and since they're rare exclusives this is rather difficult too. Neither were the Captain America or Thor lines last year, the former including a great Nick Fury figure that I did manage to get. Since I want to put them alongside their fellow Whedon-related heroes, this is all rather irritating.
They are nice once you manage to find them, though.

I have some of the small figures from the Thor movie but I don't think I'm going to collect the Avengers. I'm trying to cut down on what I have as it is lol They do look pretty cool though!

I don't like the 3.75" figures. When they came out every toy line did it, not just Marvel. I don't know if it was to cut cost down on making the figures and saving on postage or what, but I hate them with a passion. The reason is that I'm use to collecting everything in the standard 5-7" scale which was pretty much across the board. Now seeing these pop up meant you'd have to start buying them in smaller sizes i.e. initial first wave I would've considered to be the lil marvel showdown scale figures which evolved into what we have now. What a waste of time, promotion and licenses fee. I mean I'm still waiting on that Jim Lee version of Jean Grey in the 7" scale from Marvel Legends.

I've never been too picky about scale. I grew to love 4" due to toy companies being able to make more vehicles & playsets for them. Plus I have limited space, so small figures are a plus! I mean I'm still waiting on that Jim Lee version of Jean Grey in the 7" scale from Marvel Legends. She is coming in 6" (& about freakin time)  I really wish DST would do a Select version of 90's Jean too. |

I'm tempted to pic up a few of the 3.75" figures. They look kind of fun, and much better than the last figures I bought at that scale (90s Star Wars). Skint at the moment though so they'll have to wait.
The 6 inch are too costly, hard to get hold of and lacking Black Widow so they're a pass for me.

I updated the look on Black Widow. I added the eyelash, change the eye color from brown to blue, all of the brown belts were change to black to look more like the original outfit. The lips were a light pink color, I changed it to red. I added light orange highlights to her hair and change the eyebrow color to match the hair. A little work goes a long way.   Attachments:

Update on my figures! Went to Walmart saw that they had a Hawkeye still left on the peg, so I was like what the he'll and bought him to take photos with Black Widow. I resealed Black Widow in Avengers card box and removed the images with Hawkeye and replace them with Black Widow.

They've done Jean in marvel select but only as marvel girl in the green costume, wasn't very good but better than the Rachel variant.
The marvel legend is due 2013 in the next assortment, the trouble being that there will be assortment running changes with all the figures - Jean will be switched out or in at some point with an infInitely less cooler White phoenix figure. Annoying trend hasbro have gotten into!

Something tells me she is going to be a rare chase figure because it's going to get ugly and expensive and I know I wanna get both.
I couldn't afford the Marvel Legends Dark Phoenix because of this and all it was was a short repacked repainted figure.
