Avengers Hot Toys Mania
Because of Hot Toys' rather, ahem, whimsically extended timeline for releasing their sixth-scale Avengers figures, I went completely mad and pre-ordered Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Captain America from Sideshow Collectibles, in addition to the Loki figure I ordered back in May. Despite this, the very first Hot Toys Avengers figure I'll be getting will be Nick Fury. He's sold out at Sideshow, so I'm getting him from another fan; he should arrive sometime this week. Then on Friday the 26th, Sideshow is scheduled to ship Hawkeye (originally scheduled for a July release!). The highly theoretical release dates for the remaining figures are December for Black Widow and Cap, and February 2013 for Loki.
The only other Avengers figure I'm definitely going to order is Agent Phil Coulson, which isn't even available for pre-order yet... I'm guesstimating pre-orders for Coulson will open in the next month or two, with delivery sometime in the first quarter of 2013, but it's Hot Toys, so who the hell knows? I would love to order Thor, Iron Man Mark VII and Hulk, but I still haven't hit the Powerball, so I'll be stopping at three Avengers, two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and the villain of the piece.
Now I've got to get a display case and figure out where the hell it's going to go...
