UPDATE: We have learned that the Hyper Motion action figures shown below will be approximately 15 cm tall which translates to just under 6" tall. The Disk transforming figures will stand between 9 and 10 cm.
Back in
October we first told you how Marvel was going to be producing their first Japanese Marvel animated television series targeted at boys called
Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers. Now we have our first look at the toys that will be based on this series coming from
Bandai Japan. Shown are figures for
Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk and
Spider-Man.
The animated series will revolve around how The Avengers – Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Hulk together with the help of Spider-Man and a group of teens, will harness their respective fighting skills and superhuman powers to foil Loki’s scheme to take over the world. Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers will target boys in the 6-12 age group. We have no specific details on the figures at this time. It is unknown the exact scale these figures will be in or how much articulation they will have. From the images which you can check out below, it appears the figures will come with some type of Disk to be used for some type of game. Since these are geared towards kids it is likely these figures will be in the 4" scale neighborhood, though again that is not confirmed.
BigBadToyStore.com has these figures up for pre-order as well as
Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and
Hulk Transforming Disk figures. They say these will be in stock come April 2014.
