There's no avoiding movie-related tie-in merchandise. With The Avengers being released soon, we can expect to see many related products. We don't always see the coolest licensed products but there are times when some really great ones are made.

For example, check out Hot Toys' 1/6th scale Nick Fury limited edition figurine.

If you've ever had the chance to check out (or own) any products from Hot Toys, you know they put in a load of detail into their products. Hot Toys doesn't put out simple action figures. We're talking high end products. The amount of detail put in is uncanny.

If there's ever a threat to your collection, you know this Nick Fury figurine would be able to take it on. Check out these other shots to appreciate the amount of detail Hot Toys is putting in.

No word on the price or how limited this will be. Based on recent Hot Toys figurines sold through Sideshow Collectibles (such as the recent Captain America and Red Skull), the price tends to be between $100 and $200. There is a lot of accessories and of course, if it's really limited, you can expect to pay more. We'll have to keep an eye out for this one (no pun intended).

wow this is awesome

@Deranged Midget: @PATTX: @Mad_Wolverine: @SpidermanWins: @Atary77: @ThePRez: @RedheadedAtrocitus: @deadpool25mm: Hey guys he even comes with his own voice and phrase.

"Say Skrull again. I dare you. I double dare you!"

"Im sick and tired of the Motha ****** Hydra, on this Motha ****** Heli-carrier!"

"And his name is the THOR when he lays his avenging upon thee"

"Eye see what you did there...."

I was thinking, "where's the figure?" lol. Dang, that is a figure worth buying.

Toy Level: Asian

I love this toy line. It's amazing!! But I really hate Samuel Jackson. I don't like his role of Mace Windu in Star Wars and I don't like Ultimate Nick Fury.

The only toy that I can buy in the Avengers franchise is Black Widow. Scarlet Johansson is sexy even in a toy

@Trodorne: That gave me a good chuckle, props.

That is very good indeed

too true...

I need this MOTHA$%*^ toy in my MOTHA$%*^ shelf!!!

Hot Toys figures look good, but they pretty much break if you look at them the wrong way.

I barely had my War Machine out of the box (Literally, within two minutes) and a peg that his arm guns clip onto actually snapped off.

I don't like his role of Mace Windu in Star Wars and I don't like Ultimate Nick Fury. I am with you with the mace and fury. Fury is one of my fav's but i never bought into the Ultimate's version. But i knewonce Hasselhoff made that TV movie we'd never see a "real" nick Fury film.

Updated with a teaser pic of the rest of the Avengers.
