Marvel NOW! Avenging Hawkeye figure is here exclusively from marvelshop.com & Diamond Select Toys!
Clint Barton is often dismissed as “the guy with the bow and arrows,” but as one of the few non-powered members of the Avengers, he stands alongside super-soldiers, armored knights and living gods. To honor a man who regularly fights above his weight class, Diamond Select Toys and marvelshop.com have teamed up to create an exclusive, all-new figure of the avenging archer, Hawkeye!
Wearing his newer Marvel NOW! outfit, Avenging Hawkeye comes with his bow, arrows, crossbow pistol, alternate hand, alternate bandaged head and his canine companion Lucky. Lucky was introduced in the 2012 Hawkeye comic series, by Matt Fraction and David Aja, in which Hawkeye dealt with street-level crime in and around his New York City neighborhood.
This new Hawkeye figure was sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios, and stands 7 inches tall with 16 points of articulation. Like all Marvel Select action figures, he comes packaged in display-ready packaging with comic artwork down one side, for handy shelf reference.
Look for this must have figure to make its debut exclusively on marvelshop.com on March 23rd, and to arrive in Disney Stores and on disneystore.com by April 6. It retails for $24.99. Hawkeye joins previous marvelstore.com exclusive figures Mighty Thor, Unleashed Hulk, Superior Spider-Man, Unmasked Captain America, Bleeding Edge Iron Man and Electro. All are currently available on marvelshop.com and disneystore.com. You’re welcome!

Is this an advertisement? If so, why isn’t it labeled as such instead of just showing up as a regular post? If not, what on earth does this have to to with GMP’s mission? I like Fraction and Aja’s run on Hawkeye as much as the next nerd (and I even think the story has a lot to say about masculinity), but what does an action figure have to do with being a good man? Have you been hacked?
