Avengers Age of Ultron 5 POA Marvel Universe 3.75 First Images

under Marvel Toy News

Looks like retailers continue to break street date with the Avengers Age of Ultron merchandise. Thanks to ToyArk boards member Autobot_Goldbug for letting us know that Target has put out the Marvel Universe 3.75 size class 5-points of articulation Avengers Age of Ultron Hasbro action figures. The picture shows them on clearance under the old stock number which is were the mistake was made. These figures also seem to be repacks of the Avengers Assemble toys from the first movie. With Toy fair 2015 right around the corner we hope to see a fully articulated 3.75 inch line but at this point it’s not looking good.

Sound off on the ToyArk.com forums after the jump.

    No. Somebody put them out under the old stock number for Avengers Assemble the first movie.

    So I'm guessing these are all we're getting in this scale?

    You suck Hasbro.

    No. But I would expect this is Wave 1 - repacks from the last movie.. We have already seen card backs for Ultron and Vision, but nobody knows what the articulation on those looks like. Gotta wait for Toy Fair 2015..

    I still don't think this is all we're getting. They've been doing two separate lines like this for a while now.

    who said these are repacks from the 1st movie? the previous movies never had 5 POA they were all super articulated, these 5 POA have all different sculpts (actually a better sculpt than the superarticulated ones) same than the star wars 5 PoA that sadly look better than the older ones

    I'm kinda surprised that they're doing any 3-3/4" figures for this movie at all. I was half expecting to see more of those 2.5" figures they did for GotG. Sucks that they're just 5-POA figures. Good for kids... not so good for those collectors who care about articulation.

    I love the clearance stickers. Accident or not, they might as well prepare them for the inevitable. Hasbro has really lost their tough the past couple of years.

    I think the 2.5 figures were exclusive to GOTG because that toyline was focused on selling spaceship toys as opposed to action figures.

    I'm a sucker for this scale, any info on who else was in the series or a DCPI number?

    Claudio,
    Avengers had 2 parallel "Avengers Assemble" lines, the 5 POA asst A4432 these are repacks of (though I thought Iron Man had a trans blue repulsor not purple), and the fully articulated line ("with SHIELD Gear") asst A1816. Confusing.

    I really hope we see articulated figures for the movie, I do not buy 1970's low tech junk at 2010's prices.

    I fully understand why they made the 2.5" figures, I just don't see why they didn't also do a line of 3-3/4" figures for the movie. Even just a small one-wave line like they did for the Thor sequel.

    Hasbro has just really kinda lost me the past couple of years. Though I have to admit, I'm a tad biased as I'm still kinda peeved over Star Trek... so much potential announced with their licensing and what do we get? A crappy line of Lego knock-offs and a weird TRU exclusive line of deformed minifigures...

    biggs, the avengers assemble 5 PoA ur referring to is based in the comics designs, the pictures we r see now are sculpts from the movie, this is the 1st time ever we get movie sculpts in 5 PoA form, so they cant be "repacks"

    u might think they are the same sculpts but they are not, look at ironmans chest circle, the one ur referring to had a bigger chest circle, this one has it smaller, look at hulks abs are different from the assemble line hulk, also his head, and look at cap america movie outfit, the assemble one was from the comics, this ultron line is totally movie accurate and looks even better than the 1st movie line (sadly less articulated) but the sculpts of the rest of the characters r gonna be perfect this time so its a good thing, NOT REPACKS!!!

    If I wanted well sculpted statues I'd go to Bowen. I want... no expect ACTION figures from Hasbro. They are forgetting the action! you might as well screw an eyelet into the heads of these and make a nice key chain! When I was a kid in the 80's these would have been big shat at 2.00 a pop, but it's 2015, and I'm sure these are gonna pull at least 10$ per out of someone's pocket... not mine though.

    Not really "dead", but Hasbro has pulled a Mattel and gave up on making quality figures in this scale. Which is kinda ironic, because Mattel is headed the other direction. Their DC "comics" Multiverse line still needs some work, but it's got some great potential to it. Hasbro on the other hand seems to have given up entirely.

    Honestly, the articulation isn't a big factor for me, but the sculpting is. The one figure I kinda want from this line is Cap, and there's just something... off about this sculpt. Hopefully it looks better in-person, but I'm not counting on it. Also, is it just me, or are his pants a different shade of blue?

    so u prefer super articulated with bad detail and that looks nothing like the actors and with no accurate uniforms? and why is it so bad to get 5 PoA with really nice sculpt from hasbro and so good from other companies like mezco and their Reactions and that look NOTHING like the actors and with really bad details and sculpt? i prefer hasbros, and between this and NOTHING i stay with these, and between these and super articulateds that look childish i prefer these, and 5 PoA means they do move so why calling them statues?

    Well look at Marvel Universe, it's pretty much done. Like the collectors "I want that" value is almost gone. It's a damn shame.

    Good lord, it's so hilarious how the pendulum swings.

    A few years back, collectors were up in arms that Hasbro was looking like they were minimizing/doing away with 6" Marvel Legends figures in favor of the 3.75" Marvel Universe figures.

    Back then, I made the prediction (on another site) that 6" Marvel Legends would one day be back, and that by the time all was said and done, when 3.75" Marvel Universe figures started dwindling the same people would be just as up in arms about losing it as they were "losing" the 6" figures.

    Not a universe collector but reading this post and others, this is garbage. I am a big six inch guy as i know they won't make a hulkbuster bc Hasbro is lowered expectations from that mad tv skit.

    No enough fans give them heck over thwir obvious gouging of fans.

  22. Foreddyn's Avatar Foreddyn says

    I just can't see the New Sculpting, well maybe with Hulk yes - but you could sculpt muscle in all different ways. At least if they made the drones it would hurt a little less. I actually bought the older 5 POA Iron Man ones for an army, why couldn't they do the same as they did for the Chitauri(okay those ones sucked too)?

    So much waste of plastic and paper! They say they are for kids but I wouldn't even let my nephews/nieces play with these.

    There's this other figure line called Marvel Infinite series for adult collectors like us so no... this is not all we're getting in 3.75" scale. This line is for little kids... that's how it works.

    Not enough fans seem to realize Hasbro is a for-profit enterprise.

    Mad TV Skit?

    PS: I'd be REALLY surprised if the 6" Age of Ultron Marvel Legends figures don't add up to a Hulkbuster BAF, probably heavily reusing bits of the Mandroid mold.

  25. VashTS has no avatar! VashTS says

    The mad tv skits...undesirable people make dating Tapes to get dates but they still are undesirable bc of their personality.

    Fans need to be up Hasbro s bumpkin over this. If they don't make it, No one will for the scale fans collect.

    Hasbro knows fans would clamor for it. But for profit meaning we should accept mediocrity?

    I agree south the Mandroid/Monger retooled Hulkbuster.
