Now that looks like one angry african-amerian with an eye-patch innit? Ever since the advent of The Ultimates comicbook (the "alternative" real-world concept in Marvel's universe), the character of S.H.I.E.L.D.S.' "Nick Fury" has always been headed by the man with a likeness of Samuel L. Jackson (versus the caucasian man in Marvel's regular comics-universe), and to see him being portrayed in the big screen by Jackson himself, seemed satisfyingly fitting (imagined if he said "no" LOL). And now Nick Fury will be the next 1/6th-scaled action figurine to be released from THE AVENGERS series by Hot Toys!
Check out images posted here (which included the swell Cosmic Cube in a suitcase), as well posted on my Facebook-album (via Hot Toys). Featuring a Head Sculpted by Kojun, and painted + head art direction by JC. Hong - expect a 2nd quarter 2012-release. Do check with your retailers for availability and price.
