Avengers Assemble S.H.I.E.L.D. Gear Wave 1 3.75" Figures Released in Canada

Thanks to a sighting made by AFN member jacobot, we now know that the first wave of the Avengers Assemble S.H.I.E.L.D. Gear series of 3.75" figures has hit Canadian retail. Wave 1 of the fully articulated series consists of Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Falcon, and Red Skull.

The sighting was made at a Target in Ontario. Thanks for the photos jacobot!

To see what's been found in your area head on over to our Canadian Action Figure Sightings Forum.

Cool! Got to get some of these!

Does that Hulk have more articulation than the MU Hulk?

I'm pretty sure he has less. That MU Hulk is loaded with articulation. I do know that the AA Hulk lacks wrists, but does have rocker ankles

I don't understand. So there is an articulated figure and a non-articulated figure of the same characters???

Re: Avengers Assemble S.H.I.E.L.D. Gear Wave 1 3.75" Figures Released in Canada

I have both the MU Hulk and the new Hulk from this line. The differences are:
- MU Hulk has ball-hinged neck, Avengers Hulk has ball joint only
- MU Hulk has wrist swivels, Avengers Hulk has no wrist articulation
- MU Hulk has a waist swivel, Avengers none
- Avengers Hulk has those neat rocker ankles, MU has normal hinged ankles

Think this covers the differences. The Avengers Hulk is bulkier than the MU one. However, as for posing, anything that Avengers Hulk can do, the MU one can do (IMHO).

Thanks for letting us know the differences between the MU Hulk and the Avengers Hulk! I will pass on the Avenger Hulk since the MU Hulk is still more articulated.

Glad I could help. Yeah, I bought one and was a little disappointed in it (especially since I bought it at a LCS for a higher price). If only he had wrists, that might have improved the figures fun factor for me. The open hand is nice (for Asgardian-smashing action), but his hand is turned awkwardly for other poses.
