Think Outside the Toy Box: Avengers: Age of Ultron

We might be beating a dead horse but Avengers: Age of Ultron is going to be the biggest movie of the decade. It already grossed just over $200 million this past weekend in only 55% of the international markets, and that’s not including China. That said it might be a good idea to start grabbing everything Age of Ultron.

I am not going to attempt to go into what is hot or not. I just don’t want you to look bad on your kids birthday or Christmas. It seemed like yesterday Moms everywhere were paying $40-$50 for an Elsa fashion Barbie Doll on eBay. You catch my drift. There are a lot of things Ultron in stock or on the way in. (I am personally waiting on Mjolnir and Captain America Shield for my son).
Oh and if you happened to be sitting on a 2005 ToyBiz Marvel Legends Hulk Buster Iron Man consider yourself lucky. They are going for almost $100. This is the second “appearance” of a Hulk Buster toy, there was also a 1995 Marvel figure that goes for about $25.
That said the Mark 43 from the movie is really the Bleeding Edge Armor from the comics. The first appearance in action figure form was the 2013 Marvel Legends Heroic Age Iron Man (Iron Monger BAF). I am not a big fan of the detail on that one and rather I picked the Marvel Select Bleeding Edge Iron Man, which also happens to be a Disney Store exclusive. The market already looks like they favor this one also.
While you are there you might want to pick up another Disney Store Exclusive, Hawkeye (and his dog Lucky)
