Hot Toys Nick Fury gives us one option: buy him

I am just ready for The Avengers to be out already. Sure, some of the 3 3/4" figures have made their way to shelves, but what it really means for me are brand new Hot Toys. I've honestly been waiting for a Nick Fury to pop up for a while, but now he's finally been shown after being teased oh so long ago.

The attraction to any Hot Toys figure is in the details. The headsculpt of Sammy L is amazing, especially the area around his eyepatch. If you were hoping to make this into just a normal figure of L, sadly, it doesn't look like it can be done. As for what he'll be packing, it's the traditional assortment of armaments. He includes a walkies-talkie, pistol, RPG launcher, briefcase with a light-up Tesseract, and of course 6 pairs of hands.

Now for the difficult part, release information. As of right now, Nick Fury is scheduled for a release in July. There is no price just yet, but expect between $150-$200. While you can complete most of The Avengers cast through already released figures, I don't bet on Hot Toys sitting on their past efforts and instead making some brand new sculpts. Yes, that does mean new Iron Man Mk VII, but hey, that will also include a possible release of Hawkeye and the Hulk. I think I can deal with that.
