Toy News Roundup: ‘MOTUC’, ‘Black Series’, ‘Hulk Smash’, and the Articulated Age of Ultron

Today is Sunday and it’s time for the big 80th edition of the Toy News Roundup. Here we round-up all of the most important toy news of the week from our site, and also link you to any toy news that we didn’t cover. So, let’s see what the big toy news was this week, shall we?

With Toy Fair 2015 coming to a conclusion not too long ago, there really isn’t that much Toy News for this week. We expect this to start picking up in a couple of weeks when companies start to announces their SDCC 2015 exclusives and products.

GET 1/2 OF A HOT TOYS IRON MAN
This week Hot Toys released the final product photos of their upcoming Iron Man Mark 3 Construction sixth scale figure. You are basically getting 1/2 of an Iron Man, but this set would really add to your 12-inch display.

CAPTAIN ACTION CONTINUES WITH VINYL FIGURES
Not too long ago, Captain Action Enterprises announced that they would be having vinyl figures based on their property made. With C2E2 coming up soon, they have also announced that they are going to have an exclusive variant!

MATTEL’S MOTUC CLUB 200X IS NOW LIVE
At Toy Fair 2015, Mattel announced they would be having another MOTUC club. This time they are going to be focusing on the 200x characters. It’s not a full year-long, but if you subscribe you can probably get 6 of your favorite 200x characters.

WE HAVE A HULK!
Age of Ultron is going to be arriving soon, so Hot Toys has finally officially announced their Hulk sixth scale figure. Even if you have the first Hot Toys Hulk, you are going to want to check this new version out, as he’s far superior.

BROWN OR BLUE?
Was Captain Han Solo’s jacket in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes back brown or blue? It was actually brown in the film, but if you think different you can also get him with the blue jacket. How convenient!

NEW 6-INCH BLACK SERIES PRE-ORDERS
If you haven’t been paying attention to new pre-orders in the last week, there’s a very high chance that you missed out on the opportunity to pre-order Black Series Waves 8 and 9. Both series’ feature new characters, so you are probably going to need them.

DRAGON MODELS TO RETURN TO ACTION FIGURES
Dragon Models has made action figures in the past, but in recent years they are probably more well-known for their pre-painted model kits. The good news is that they plan on returning to action figures, as they have secured the license to make 1/9 scale Terminator Genisys action figures.

NA NA NA NA NA… BATMAN!
Sideshow Collectibles pre-ordered their next DC Comics based Batman figure this week. This version of Batman is the Gotham Knight version, which is based on his appearance in the comic run by the same name.

THE ARTICULATED AGE OF ULTRON IS UPON US
Avengers: Age of Ultron is going to bring us a bunch of new figures. Some are likely to completely suck, but others like the S.H. Figuarts figures are probably going to knock your super articulated socks off.
