    Why no animated Avengers line?

    I'm really shocked Hasbro hasn't done a line based on the Avengers cartoon.

    It's the one show that I would buy figures from...especially if they did some of the great villains that have appeared so far like Baron Zemo and the Masters of Evil.

    I bet they won't be able to anything for while now either...they will likely not be allowed to "compete" with the movie line of figures.

      ^That's probably the reason. They knew the movie and inevitable toys were coming, and they wanted to keep the name fresh for the movie brand.

      I'd like to see toys based on the toon too though.

        That's the best Superhero cartoon on television right now IMO and I am a DC guy.

          Best Super Hero Toon Since JLU imo.
          .... I'd so Buy Multiple Hulk Figures and EVEN A Maquette based on his look in this series.

            With B&B gone, it's definitely the best now. I will admit, I haven't seen every episode. It's schedule is pretty erratic. Of course Disney XD would much rather show hours of Zack and Cody reruns.

              It pretty much is a JLU Marvel style, so I see the comparison. I liked BTBB better but it's not around anymore.

              I have no idea when it's on, I've seen about 1/6th of the episodes. The one drawback for me is the Iron Man voice actor, they're trying to get a poor man's movie Tony Stark, he just sounds like Downey's love child with Kevin Smith...

                  Marvel's animated shows don't have the best track record in the toy aisles (Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Wolverine & the X-Men). But I am surprised and disappointed we didn't see one to coincide with the Avengers movie.

                  QFT. Avengers Assemble and Thundercats are both quality animated series, but...

                    Yeah, the Downey impersonation is kind of off for me. I do like the voice actor who does Cap. Cap has been badly served in almost every guest spot he ever had in a Marvel toon. The old 60s toons had it right. This guy sounds like he could inspire and lead a team. The worst was whoever did Cap on the 90s Spidey toon. He had no voice presence at all.

                      I believe it airs Saturdays at midnight E.S.T. I'm usually here when it airs,so I'm not 100% sure.

                        Season 1 is on Netflix, too. I've watched it twice thru already.
