Marvel.com held a live "toy blog" where they revealed some new pics and info for the Avengers Movie toy line from Hasbro. We went through and pulled out the Hasbro Design Team quotes with good info in them.

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Glad you like the Hulk 3 3/4 inch figure! We worked closely with Marvel to capture the likeness of each of the characters from the movie.

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Nice catch PAULFIERCE! The Hulk figure is actually a little bigger than the rest of the figures in the product line!

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Regarding HULK detail --- he is slightly shorter than the Destroyer, but definitely a wider character sculpt. He comes with a HULK SMASH feature!!!

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
DaddyAce -- I think you will be pleased to find that the AVENGERS line contains several scales of action figures...we know our collector community appreciates the 3 3/4in scale, and I think you will LOVE our new 6" Legends figures.

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
We have planned over 15 different figures in our AVENGERS 3 3/4 in product line, however we have many more within MARVEL UNIVERSE -- as well as figures at other scales within the AVENGERS line.

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Great question. It can be challenging to capture actor likeness at this small scale, but these days we often start from 3D scan data provided by Marvel. Even so, to get the figures to look correct at each scale, it requires a sculptor's finesse...something a computer can't achieve on it's own!

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Most of our AVENGERS figures will be movie series, but we did mix in some 'classic' for Marvel fans. Regarding variants....our lips are sealed!

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Yes, you will definitely see exclusives Cerberus! Watch store shelves this Spring!

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Dan Curto -- yes we have more vehicles than ever! The new AVENGERS movie has given us some great material to work with...watch out for more news at New York Toy Fair !

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
3D scan = A 3D scan of an actor's body. the output is a digital 3d file that we can create figure sculpts from. Imagine trying to scan HULK's huge frame!

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Clarke -- We don't have Coulson planned for the 2012 line, however you will see many new characters that you've never seen before in our line-up.

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
For SUPERHERO SQUAD fans...yes we have new packs and figures in our movie lineup!

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Regarding articulation --- Across the AVENGERS 3 3/4 in line, you will find approximately11 to 17 points, depending on the figure and their feature/function

HASBRO TOY DESIGN:
Steeley76 -- Yes absolutely. The best part about a Super Hero team-up movie is that there are awesome role play toys we can make!
