In Stores This Week: Marvel Select Avengers Movie Hawkeye!

June 26, 2012 - Diamond Select Toys has hit the bullseye once again! The newest Avengers movie-based Marvel Select figure lands in comic shops and specialty stores this week, and it's Clint Barton, a.k.a. the arrow-slinging Hawkeye! Standing nearly 7 inches tall, Clint comes poised for action in his display-ready packaging, with a portrait of the archer on one side. Accessories include his bow, arrows and a detailed section of the Pershing Square Overpass from the climactic New York City battle! His section connects with that of the Chitauri Footsoldier (coming soon!) to form a larger battle scene!

Also arriving in stores: re-issues of four other classic Marvel Select figures: Cyclops, Thing, Magneto and the Abomination! If you missed out on them the first time, now's your chance!

March 2012 - You saw them at NY Toy Fair, but here are brand-new photos of the Hulk and Hawkeye from Diamond Select Toys' Marvel Select action figure line! Based on Marvel's Avengers movie, the figures were designed by Gentle Giant Studios from the likenesses of Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo as they appear in the film. Both are in Marvel Select's standard 7-inch scale, which places Hawkeye around 7 inches tall and Hulk around 9 inches tall. Each figure has 16 points of articulation for a full range of movement, and Hawkeye comes with a New York City battlefield display base, which connects with the base of the Avengers' mystery foe to form a diorama. Hulk and Hawkeye (and the mystery foe) should reach comic shops and specialty stores in May, just after the movie hits U.S. theaters.

From The Avengers Movie, Hawkeye is the Next Marvel Select Figure!
