Avengers Assemble… on your shelf! Sideshow Collectibles is expanding their line of statues based on classic designs of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
The fledgling line of 1:5 scale statues is bolstered with the new additions of Thor and Hulk, joining Captain America and Iron Man to round some of the superteam's most iconic members.
Crafted out of resin, each statue features a member of the Avengers in a dynamic pose that's meant to be displayed prominently.
"The Avengers Assemble Series was all about capturing a feeling," said art director David Igo. "We tasked our artistic team with 'trying to find the classic' in each hero. To make the most iconic and nostalgic versions of some of our favorite characters. Not just in look, but in pose, in composition, in everything. This collection is about heroes defined!"
Pre-orders are already available for two of the statues, including Iron Man and Captain America. They retail for $360 and are due for arrival between July and December of this year. No word yet on when the Hulk and Thor statues will go on presale.
"We kept that Sideshow style hyper-real look," Igo added. "Even though the wardrobe is retro and the palette is super saturated, the costumes still feel real, the armor looks functional. It's the time-honored version of your favorite Avengers, but it's also quintessentially Sideshow in terms of attention to detail and in quality. We're super-proud of this series, and I'm excited for people to finally see Thor and the Hulk!"
