Marvel's Avengers toy launch at Toy Kingdom!

03.11.2012 – The Philippine launch of the Avengers toys and merchandise based from the upcoming movie with the same title that will be shown on April 25, 2012 was welcomed with less stellar billing unlike what Toy Kingdom with Star Wars last month.


There was still support from a fan group who masquerade as their favorite Marvel characters. The area which they had launched the toys were like less than one third of the place they had with Star Wars. Its enough to attract the local casual collecting community to get the word out the toys has made it to the Philippine retail stores.
