January 27, 2012 : From The Avengers Movie, Hawkeye is the Next Marvel Select Figure!

avengershawkeyeheader

The Avengers movie is almost upon us, and Diamond Select Toys is building up the team in their Marvel Select action figure line! First up is the Avengers’ newest recruit and the world’s greatest marksman, Hawkeye! Based on the likeness of actor Jeremy Renner, this 7-inch-scale Marvel Select figure comes with his trademark bow and arrows, and will look perfect alongside your other Select Avengers. Plus, he features 16 points of articulation, for a variety of action poses! Not shown is Hawkeye’s detailed display base — it combines with the base of our mystery movie villain figure to create a scene from the movie — and everything comes in oversized collector packaging, so you can show off the figure without opening it. But Hawkeye is only available on the specialty market, so pre-order him today through your local comic shop or favorite online retailer, and expect him to hit stores sometime in May. Avengers Movie Hulk and the movie’s mystery villain are also available for pre-order now, and Thor, Loki, WWII Captain America and the Red Skull are in stores now! Info about Avengers Movie Iron Man coming soon!

November 18, 2011 : The Avengers Movie’s Hawkeye and Hulk Have Been Selected… as the Next Two Marvel Selects!

Fans have been waiting to hear which Marvel luminaries would be the next to bow in Diamond Select Toys’ 7-inch scale Marvel Select action figure line. Although they aren’t yet allowed to show them in their entirety, DST is proud to announce that the next two figures will be Hawkeye and Hulk, from Joss Whedon’s upcoming Avengers movie! Sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios, the figures feature the likenesses of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Mark Ruffalo in his computer-generated Hulk persona. Each figure will have 16 points of articulation, and while Hawkeye comes with a bow, arrows and a detailed display base, the Hulk stands a full 8 inches tall, taking up every inch of his packaging all by himself! Stay tuned and we’ll reveal the full figures as soon as our SHIELD clearance comes through!
