Hasbro released its first wave of highly anticipated "Avengers: Endgame" toys Sunday and there are over 40 new items to wade through.
INSIDER met with Hasbro mid-March to preview all of the action figures and toys ahead of time. You can check out the coolest toys here that kids will want from the new lineup.
Many of the toys also offer some hints and clues about what to expect from the upcoming movie, including confirmation of Hawkeye's alter-ego, Ronin, that has been teased in trailers. From Thanos' new weapon and armor to a new Hulk, keep reading to see what Hasbro's first wave of "Avengers: Endgame" toys may tell us about the upcoming sequel.
We have a full look at Hawkeye in his new Ronin gear.
This is the most obvious reveal fans were probably expecting. The two "Avengers: Endgame" trailers teased Clint Barton/Hawkeye in the classic Ronin suit. Who is Ronin? Barton briefly takes on the mantle of the samurai warrior in the Marvel comics.
Hasbro released three different Ronin action figures, which you can see here.
The Hulk is back with a different look. Could we be seeing a version of Professor Hulk?
For a while, fans thought we may see a merged version of the Hulk and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) characters called Professor Hulk, and we think that's what we're seeing here.
In "Avengers: Infinity War," Bruce Banner was having a lot of trouble accessing the Hulk throughout the movie. On the film's Blu-ray commentary, "Infinity War" co-director Joe Russo said the reason Banner had trouble accessing the Hulk was because the two hate one another and the green guy is fed up.
"We thought an interesting direction to take [Hulk] in is: Well, what if Banner, who typically uses the Hulk to solve crisis situations — what if the Hulk were no longer interested in solving those problems for Banner? The relationship is becoming increasingly dysfunctional," said Russo. "He's tired of playing hero to Bruce Banner."
At the end of "Infinity War," Banner tells Hulk they need to work on some things. By the time we see them again in "Endgame," it's possible Banner and Hulk have found some peace with one another and that they're co-existing much better since the Thanos snap. (What better way to bring people back together than by vanquishing half of the universe from existence?) Banner also may have even more control over the Hulk while he's transformed.
In the comics, Banner gave the professor version of the Hulk a safeguard so if he gets too angry, he'll automatically transform back into Banner. As for that weapon Banner is wielding? We think it's most likely something he just rips up out of the street.
Each "Avengers: Endgame" character who is wearing a new suit is fitted with a device on their left hands. Is this a time travel device?
Each of the toys we saw is fitted with a small blue device on their hands. We're betting those gadgets (and new suits) are going to help the Avengers travel back in time to undo the events of Thanos' life-altering snap at the end of "Infinity War."
Confused? You can read our full explainer on how we think time travel will be a part of "Avengers: Endgame" here.
