The countdown to ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ has turned into a full-blown merchandise event. From fast-food menus to cereal boxes and theater popcorn buckets, Marvel’s next crossover is everywhere, and the toy aisle is no exception.

Collectors have already had plenty to choose from. Hasbro has released Marvel Legends figures tied to the film, including a 6-inch Thor with Mjolnir and Stormbreaker and a 6-inch Gambit with a bo staff and playing card effects. LEGO has also joined in with sets such as a ‘Doomsday’ Quinjet and a Heroes & Villain BrickHeadz set.

Now fans have a fresh look at another piece of the collection. MCU Film News shared new images of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ figures on X, showing a large lineup of characters from across the film’s sprawling ensemble.

The images showcase a colorful group of small figures on clear display bases. Doctor Doom appears front and center in his green cloak, joined by figures that appear to include Thor, a flaming Human Torch, the rocky orange Thing, a winged Captain America, and a figure seated in a wheelchair, among many others.

One image presents the figures arranged on dark green platforms surrounded by mist, matching the film’s moody Doom-inspired look. The other lays them out against a clean white background, making it easier to spot each character.

The figures appear to match a new collection that launched this week. Disney Store’s ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ collection arrived on its website on November 10, and it includes an ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Mega Figure Play Set.

The wider collection goes well beyond figures. It features Doctor Doom clothing and accessories, a Doctor Doom talking action figure, playsets, and a Cyclops X-Men roleplay visor. Prices range from $29.99 to $495.

Doom is clearly the star of the lineup. Disney’s promotional material leaned heavily into the villain, with a black long-sleeve top featuring Doom’s hooded figure rising from green mist.

The size of the figure set reflects the film’s massive cast. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ brings together the Avengers, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four to face Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.

That mix makes for a toy lineup unlike any Marvel has offered before. Seeing members of 3 different teams side by side captures the crossover spirit that fans have been waiting years to see on screen.

The figures join a long list of tie-ins. KFC has launched a Doctor Doom-inspired menu in more than 100 countries, and Kellogg’s has released cereal boxes pairing heroes such as Captain America with Cyclops.

Theaters are getting in on the action too. AMC, Regal and Cinemark are all selling Doctor Doom statue popcorn buckets, while Japan has hosted a Doom parade in Tokyo and an Avengers-themed Christmas tree.

Disney itself has been building toward this moment. The Disney Store previously reopened its Marvel Vault ahead of the film, bringing back fan-favorite replica items. Fans won’t have to wait much longer to see these characters in action. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ opens in theaters on December 18, with Anthony and Joe Russo directing.

Until then, collectors can start assembling their own version of the multiverse at home. With so many characters packed into one lineup, the figure set could become a popular holiday gift for Marvel fans of all ages.
