The Avengers: Infinity War toy range images have been revealed by Hot Toys, and the fans have got a great look at the heroes and weapons featured in the film.
Although everyone focuses on the box office earnings, the fact with superhero movies is that they earn from the merchandise. The upcoming Avengers: Infinity War is bound to be one of the most impressive Marvel movies till now, and it features a number of leading Avengers – such as Iron-Man, Black Widow, Spider-Man and the new look Steve Rogers. We have already seen the details of the Marvel Legends series from Hasbro, which are releasing in stores shortly. However, it is now the turn of Hot Toys to unveil their line.
The Sideshow Collectibles website has made available two new models. The 1/6 scale Hot Toys collectibles are loved by the fans. As is their specialty, the models are impressively detailed; which implies that the images are really the best look that the fans have so far got at the Infinity War costumes of Thor and Iron-Man.
The Iron-Man toy has more than usual accessories, and that’s why its price has gone up to $407. As already figured out by fans, the armor is supposedly nanotech: it modifies itself into various weapons according to Stark’s thoughts. The design is a direct imitation of comics created by Brian Bendis and David Marquez in 2015. It is basically, the “Swiss Army Knife” style of Iron-Man armors, and Stark might even morph into the earlier armor designs, including the Hulkbuster. Once again, Hot Toys Iron-Man model is made of Diecast metal and has a great resemblance ot Robert Downey Jr’s face.
Apart from the newest Iron-Man collectible, Hot Toys also revealed their latest Thor model. So far, Thor’s Infinity War merchandise has been a weird mixed bag with some action figures having eye-patches and others without it. Hot Toy’s model also has LED energy effects to resemble Thor’s lightning powers. It is selling for a much lower price compared to the Iron-Man model and costs $267.
The biggest attraction for fans will be Thor’s new weapon Stormbreaker. In comic books, Stormbreaker is linked with Beta Ray Bill. A lot of fans expect Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy to join hands on the mission to capture Stormbreaker. That is now confirmed by the images released by Hot Toy, depicting Thor alongside Rocket Raccoon and young Groot. The Teen Groot collectible is being received well. However, fans are a little unhappy with the Rocket model. It looks similar to the earlier Hot Toy Rocket collectible, but, with an only slight change in weapons.
It is truly fascinating to see the new Iron-Man and Thor designs. They are only two of the new Hot Toys collectibles to be unveiled soon, and the others are likely to provide us a detailed look at other Infinity War designs.
