Toys - Marvel Select Toys : Let’s take a look on the Hawkeye Collector Figure

By Mulder, 21 march 2022

After spending some time with his family, Marvel’s Hawkeye shot back into the spotlight with the recent Hawkeye series on Disney+, inspired in large part by the popular comic book storyline by Matt Fraction. Now, the avenging archer returns as an all-new ShopDisney.com exclusive by Diamond Select Toys!

Hawkeye is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck, the character first appeared as a supervillain in Tales of Suspense #57 (September 1964) and later joined the Avengers as a superhero in The Avengers #16 (May 1965). He has since been a prominent member of several Avengers teams, founding the West Coast Avengers, briefly marrying and subsequently divorcing Bobbi Morse / Mockingbird, adopting the Ronin alias after his death and resurrection before mentoring Kate Bishop as his successor as Hawkeye. He was also ranked at #44 on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes list. Jeremy Renner plays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), and Avengers: Endgame (2019), the animated series What If...? (2021), and the television series Hawkeye (2021).

Wearing an updated black-and-purple costume inspired by the show, this 7-inch Marvel Select figure of Clint Barton features detailed sculpting and paint applications, as well as 16 points of articulation, and it includes two interchangeable heads, three interchangeable hands and his trusty sidekick Pizza Dog! Plus, a compound bow, several arrows, and a two-part crossbow pistol that fits in his holster!

The whole shebang comes packaged in display-ready Select action figure packaging, with side-panel artwork. It joins recent Marvel Select releases Loki, Taskmaster and the Winter Soldier as a ShopDisney.com exclusive. Available now!

Once again Diamond Select Toys offers us a superb figure perfectly mastered and which benefits not only from many articulations (toy photographers will appreciate) but also many accessories. The Marvel character is perfectly respected and all the readers of comics and movies from the Marvel cinematographic universe will appreciate the care given to this one.  The only dilemma we may encounter is whether we prefer to keep this superb collector figure in its box or open it and display it in the window or in its dedicated collector's room...

Synopsis : 
Former Avenger Clint Barton has a seemingly simple mission: return to his family for Christmas. Can he do it?
