This past weekend, Superbowl watchers were treated to the new Avengers trailer, showing off the heroes in action, including our first full look at the gargantuan Hulk. Well, the Marvel Select toy line has been making waves lately with its larger figures, which tower over other entries in the 7-inch-scale line, and last week they finally unveiled their movie version of the Hulk! Standing 8.25 inches tall, he stands a good inch taller than the rest of the movie-based Avengers DST has made, and features 16 points of articulation for a full range of smashing. He’s available for pre-order now from your local comic shop and from online retailers, as are Hawkeye and DST’s figure of one of the movie’s mystery foes! Here’s your Avengers checklist:

Captain America (WWII outfit): Available now
Thor (Thor movie outfit): Available now

Hulk: Coming in April
Iron Man Mark VI (Iron Man 2 movie re-issue): Coming in April

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Select figure line, featuring the greatest heroes and villains of the Marvel universe, and the first new figure of the year hits stores today! Colossus, the X-Men mainstay who transforms into living steel, checks in at a towering 8.25 inches tall, and sports 16 points of articulation for a full range of movement. He comes with a giant, spiked panel that can be displayed with the other X-Men’s Danger Room display bases, and both he and the panel come in oversized collector packaging, seen here for the first time.

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!

At the end of the summer, the world will be treated to a new Spider-Man movie, The Amazing Spider-Man, featuring a new villain, a new costume, a new Peter Parker and a new take on the wall-crawler’s origin. Diamond Select Toys has been hard at work on their toys and other merchandise for the film, and with their Marvel Select figures of Spider-Man and the Lizard now available for pre-order, we thought we’d talk to some of the people who worked on them to see what went into creating these highly detailed, 7-inch-scale toys.

Diamond Select Toys has released over 60 figures in their Marvel Select line, all in a consistent 7-inch scale, and the year 2012 marks the line’s tenth anniversary. To celebrate, DST has several great figures planned, including figures based on the movies Avengers and Amazing Spider-Man, but the first figure to hit stores during our anniversary year is Colossus! The X-Men mainstay who transforms into solid steel checks in at a towering 8.25 inches tall, and his 16 points of articulation give him a wide range of movement. To see how he stands up against another Marvel Select figure, we sent him and Gambit to the Danger Room, to get in some practice sparring. We even tested him against the giant spiked panel that he comes with! Check out the photographs in our gallery, and look for Colossus to hit stores in mid-February, followed by the Green Goblin. (Gambit available now!)

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!
