With last week’s release of “The Avengers” Hawkeye’s never been hotter! To celebrate Kotobukiya is releasing a 1/6th scale (13″ tall) Hawkeye in his classic Avengers uniform.

With the opening of ‘The Avengers’ just around the corner – May 4th for the not obsessively tracking folks, eFx sent out a quick update on their upcoming Avengers prop replicas.  These pieces, which debuted at Wondercon to rave reviews, will be available for preorder soon.  If you want to be informed of the pre-order details first, or at least in the first group, send an email to MarvelUpdates@efxcollectibles.com to get added to the list.  These are some awesome pieces, and I wouldn’t post them if I didn’t love them!

Hasbro sent out a quick set of images today revealing a few new items in the Marvel toy universe. Of course, all eyes are on the big screen debut of ‘The Avengers’ in a few weeks. The trailer revealed that Loki’s starting a war with earth, but who are his troops – and what do the toys look like?  In the first two images, Hasbro revealed their Avengers scale basic and deluxe “Loki’s Army” figure – of course there’s no additional details so who they are, where they come for, etc…all needs to wait for a trip to the talkies.

The other pair of new images are of Miles Morales as Spider-man from Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man. Miles as Spidey will be available in both 3 3/4″ scale in Marvel Universe and in a 6″ scale.  Check out images of all 4 of these figures below.

Want to win an Incredible Hulk minibust from Gentle Giant?  Who wouldn’t? Just head over to their blog for all the details on how to enter – the contest runs through Tuesday evening of next week. Granted there’s already 7400 entries, but your luck is bound to be better than it was for Mega Millions.

Just in time to wear to the Avengers movie opening May 4th, Junk Food clothing has released their latest Avengers t-shirts.  Yea, I know this is an action figure / toy website, but these are the perfect shirts for hunting down the latest figures. In all honesty, Junk Food makes fantastic printed tees (I love their Star Wars and Peanuts ones) – not only are the designs fantastic but they are soft, high quality shirts. Check out these and others on www.junkfoodclothing.com.

Yet another reason to go to see “The Avengers” on opening night, Lego has announced that they are distributing 2 Million posters featuring ‘The Avengers’ done minifigure style. Check out the image below – really starting to get excited for this movie!

The only way I can describe the Tokidoki booth is cute, well..no, super cute. Toki Doki featured a wide range of product, from apparel and accessories to skateboards to vinyl figures.

New for 2012 are their ‘Royal Pride’ collection of blind boxed figures as well as new plush items of Stellina the Unicorn, Donutella and Kaiju. Also on display was the Cactus Friends line, adorable animals covered in thorns, in several sizes. The 3″ features Porcino the pig, Truffle the rabbit, Bastardino the pup and several other characters. 1.25″ blind boxed figures are also available.

Other blind boxed assortments include Unicornos (invidually deco’d Unicorns – if you couldn’t guess), Marvel Frenzies (which I love!) as well as their own Frenzies designs.

I’ll admit, in the past year I’ve become completely enamored with Funko Toys’ offerings – particularly the Pop! vinyl line. I’m pleased to say that, if you liked Funko in 2011, you’re going to love them in 2012. Pop Vinyl! will continue strong featuring figures from ‘The Dark Night Rises’, more horror figures (Pop! Leatherface), more Star Wars (Jabba!), more Disney, Ugly Dolls (complete with glow-in-the-dark chase figures) and more. Adding to the Pop Vinyl! family will be mini-Pop! vinyl figures, Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty as KISS and Muppets. Yes, Muppets.

Blox, their newest stylized vinyl figures, also continue and introduce a new smaller scale. Of note the Star Wars Blox and the mini Batman and Joker sets. A new style of figures were also debuted – figures with cupcake heads where you can store the body in the head. It’ll make sense once you see the picture; very cool and fun little toys.

Funko has also secured the rights to produce product based on ‘Lord of the Rings’ and they’ve made the cutest Smeagol plush you’ll ever see.

In addition to the above items there was a ton more on display, including Marvel plush, Pop!, bobbles, Batman vinyl…check out the gallery below for all your Funko needs!
