Roughly six months until
The Avengers movie hits theaters, Marvel Studios has managed to do the impossible; keep the visual identity of the highly-anticipated film's secondary villains secret. While the main reason for
that is they're fully CGI-ed, and reportedly in varieties themselves, we may have an early look via an action figure from
Marvel Select; if they aren't already revealed prior to the figure's reveal. Sans any photos and revealing specs, check out the vague product description for the upcoming figure below.
A Diamond Select Release! Designed and Sculpted by Gentle Giant! We know who all the Avengers are in the new Joss Whedon movie, but who are their foes? Kept tightly under wraps, we've developed an all-new 7-inch-scale Marvel Select figure of one of them in secret, and now he's available for order! With 16 points of articulation and a detailed display base, this baddie will be the crowning jewel in any Marvel Select Avengers collection -- buy multiples to give the heroes a real fight! The Marvel Select Avengers Movie Villain comes in oversized collector packaging, and is only available on the specialty market! Release is 5/30/12.
Considering
The Avengers is in post-production and has been for about three months, I'm sure there's a final render on the aliens right now. So with that said, it's likely we could get an early look, or at least a shadowed tease of the announced figures based on the villains at an upcoming convention or expo where the film will surely be promoted. However, it's also possible we'll get our first glimpse in the 2nd trailer, said to be released in January.
Marvel's The Avengers is the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner with Samuel L. Jackson and Tom Hiddleston, directed by Joss Whedon, Marvel's The Avengers will be released May 4, 2012.
