Cool shots of The Avengers on multiple covers of Entertainment Weekly! Love the images of The Hulk and Black Widow...

Heh, did they add chest hair to Hulk just for the cover?

OK, lots to absorb. 7 Avengers would be the team and Fury, that we know from the teaser. 8 must include Loki. So are we safe to assume no Coulson monkey2) Hill gah or Chitauri mad?

Race suit Tony I was really hoping for, and Armour Whiplash. Damn. But USO Cap is awesome news, as is the ruling out of rubber-body Hulk. That leaves two options (wrong thread I know).

Green Lantern canned - sorry for the fans but honestly

Thems my thoughts.

Nice!

-Hulk is in progress, the body will not be fully Rubber.
Sounds encouraging!

-Black Widow will have a new body and hair are sculpted.
Just what I hoped for!

-The first version of Loki is from The Avengers, the announcement of Thor Version will come later.
They already snuck out a sneak peak of the Thor version. Great to hear about the Avengers version!

-Captain America Golden Age Version is still scheduled.
Good news, but I'm sticking to the Avengers version for now..

-Tony Stark Race Suit Version and Whiplash Armor Version have been set aside because of an overloaded schedule.
Wow, awesome on the Whiplash news!

-The X-Men First Class range is almost complete, it will be announced soon.
More great news!

-The license Green Lantern was canceled.
Ooohh. That's ugly. DC really needs to deliver on a sequel... I must have GL and Sinestro!

-The licences of Iron Man 3, Superman Man Of Steel and Wolverine will be exploited.
Sweet!

-The next Star Wars figures should be Anakin and Han Solo, followed by a character from Episode II.
Han Solo. Do they really want to hit this up after Indy? I hope they bring they're AAA+ game!

Thanks for the info man!

Does that mean that the Race Suit Stark won't get made now, or that it'll be a while to wait for it?

Hopefully this new Widow body has no tits in stomach.

Interesting news, if true. I'm a bit surprised about Green Lantern as HT has gone through with licenses even if the movie flopped at the box office. I'm sure people would've bought GL just for the character alone.

I suppose they are acknowledging that they have too much on their plate right now.

Interested to see who comes out of X-Men FC. I'm hoping for a Fassbender Magneto. I'd even consider a January Jones White Queen, but who knows. I didn't think there were very interesting character designs out of that movie, as much as I did enjoy it.

I'm pretty excited to see what they have in store for Han Solo. I hope they do a better job on Ford this time as they took a lot of flak for how Indiana Jones turned out.

I'm also wondering what Episode II character they are looking at. I suppose it could be anyone from Ewan McGregor Obi Wan to Jango Fett. Maybe Mace Windu since they have SLJ from Avengers already and have done his Octopus from The Spirit. It might be too much to hope for a Genosian Area Padme/Natalie Portman, or even a Christopher Lee Dooku though...

 

[meanstreak]

I think in an earlier interview they said it was two figures only and they hinted one with a wheelchair so I'm guessing that license only gets Xavier and Magneto.

 

[intothevoid]

Set aside easier means
1. Cancelled
2. Put at the back of the que for a later release

Given their Iron Man fetish, i'd say the latter

 

[T.E.D]

-The first version of Loki is from The Avengers, the announcement of Thor Version will come later.

Another version of the translation getting posted says that the Thor version of Loki was cancelled, do we know which is the more reliable translation yet?

 

[hunnipot85]

Good news about a new body for Widow. I'm betting it's just the Babydoll one though

I hope so! I really want the Race Suit figure!

 

[7166charlie]

So looks like we will be getting avengers loki which for me is awesome

 

[forestlite]

I'm wondering with the heat Jennifer Lawrence is generating thanks to her star turning role in "The Hunger Games", if we do indeed end up with a Mystique figure!

 

[gunm]

I'd buy a Mystique figure.

I'll settle for Avengers Black Widow though.

Can't wait for her! Moar ScarJo plz. kthx.

i got the top EW cover in my mailbox on friday

.......

Well:

Hulk, Thor, BW, Cap, Fury, Mk. 7, Hawkeye.... Makes 7
Loki makes 8
non-MMS Mk.VI makes 9 (not official I suppose)

If Avengers becomes the no. 1 comic book movie this year/all time
there would probably be more...
Chitauri, Coulson, Maria Hill, Pepper Potts, Accurate Mk. VI ..... makes 13 (or 14)
