Diamond Select Toys recently dropped Marvel Minimates Series 61, an Avengers Age of Ultron themed wave. In it we get several new looks at classic characters including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Ultron. Toys R Us has an exclusive set as well with Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch. We have the whole comic shop wave in hand and have a detailed gallery for you after the break!
Marvel Minimates Series 61 (Avengers Age of Ultron)
Pros
Great Paint
Nice modern decos
Cons
Sub-Ultron is the chase
2 Hawkeyes (subjective)
Overall
Overall this is a solid but expected line up for Age of Ultron. All the figures are core characters in the movie and feature their movie decos. I particularly liked the Iron Man, the paint really pops. Caps shield is also well done, featuring a metallic sheen while being stored on the back or arm via pegs. The Ultron figures also have a slight metallic pop to them, really making this the wave of bling. Overall it’s an awesome line up which looks great on the shelf alone or as companions to a larger Avengers theme. We should be getting a ton more AoU Minimates over the coming months – they already have Hulkbuster, Hulk, Vision, War Machine, Bruce Banner, several unannounced “mystery” figures, and a blind bag wave with multiple Sub-Ultron variants planned. Stay tuned!
Check out some key shots below, with the full gallery under that!

Solid shiny wave!
Needs moar Hulk! Otherwise looks fantastic. Both Ultron and Ultron Drone look fantastic.
I think they have a lot of figs planned for AoU running thru the fall, Hulk, Hulkbuster are planned. But yeah, so close right off the bat. All of them are really well done, I am continually impressed with the quality of these things.
Great Paint? The "A" on Cap's helmet is way off, and lots of other places look like a kid was coloring outside the lines (like the blue on Ultron's face). Except for the Ultrons, these characters have all been done many times, pass.
Yeah, the A on cap is farked. But, I've inspected 3 others after I noticed that, and none had them. I just picked unlucky.
What I meant by great paint is the rich colors and metallic sheen. It varies fig to fig of course, but assuming you don't get a misaligned application, its sweet IMO.
The one advantage of the 2" figure line is that those vehicles and playsets are scaled just about perfectly for Minimates. So if you get the Quinjet, you can put this Black Widow in the cockpit or on the bike since the 2" line kind of, you know, forgot to make any toys of her. (I can't be 100% mad at Hasbro since they're doing a lot of War Machine merch, but did they think we wouldn't notice?)
