The Coolest Toys Inspired by Avengers: Age of Ultron
Comic book fans will tell you that half of the fun of getting into comics is the fun toys you get to collect in the process. Since their beginning, toy designers have been releasing toys to coincide with their comic book counterparts and with the release of the latest Marvel film, Avengers: Age of Ultron, the tradition continues. Whether the toys are for a child or a child at heart, there is an incredible selection for the film’s release.
Funko Pop! Marvel Figures
Funko has been releasing their caricature-esque vinyl characters for pretty much anything with a cult following and the newest Avengers film is no different. The film’s release offers eight different characters: Iron Man Mark 43 (66), Hulk (68), Thor (69), Captain America (67), Vision (71), Black Widow (91), Hawkeye (70), and Ultron (72).
