NEWS: Captain America: The First Avenger Figures Pre-Order (And Now With Thor Movie Figures)


Want a sneak peek at the figures from the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger movie? Well, click on through!


Big Bad Toy Store has a number of toys available for pre-order - but be warned, there may also be movie spoilers there and in this article, so don't read ahead unless you're familiar with the basics of Captain America's mythology.

As well as the expected WWII Captain America, there's also the ''Bucky Version'' (which appears to be a slight re-tool of the Giant Battles exclusive), the Ultimates version (again, possibly a Marvel Universe re-release), a Winter Soldier figure (with new accessories including a Microman Dash-Wing by the looks of it) and most interestingly of all, Captain Britain and US Agent figures. 

Hasbro are releasing both Comic and Movie lines to tie-in with Captain America: The First Avenger (much as they did with the Iron Man 2 range), so how many of these characters are in the movie and how many are from the comic line isn't clear. Big Bad Toy Store are listing the figures at $9.99 which - if their prices on the Marvel Universe line tally - would put them at around the $7.99 or so mark in stores. 

I'm pleased to see the line expanded beyond the movie, although I'm not sure how many of these figures I'll buy, given I have most of them already in the main Marvel Universe range.

UPDATE: BBTS also have figures from the upcoming Thor movie available for pre-order.

More details as we get them.

  2. Yeah, he's certainly one of the stand-outs for me, although the WWII Captain America is pretty awesome, too.
