New AvX: Avengers vs. X-Men Minimates Box Set Coming Soon to Toys “R” Us

Posted on by

A few months ago, Diamond Select Toys asked fans to vote on the next exclusive box set of Marvel Minimates for Toys “R” Us, based on the blockbuster Avengers vs. X-Men crossover event. The poll pitted three Avengers against three members of the Phoenix Five, with dominance of the box set hanging in the balance. Well, now the results are in!

The Avengers were the clear winners, with Phoenix Buster Iron Man, the Scarlet Witch and Protector taking three of the four spots in the set, with the remaining slot filled by Phoenix Five leader Cyclops! Plus, Iron Man’s armor will open up to reveal a more bare-bones Iron Man Minimate inside! Phoenix Five Emma Frost and Colossus may not have made the cut this time around, but don’t count them out yet — they’ve both cheated death more than once.

Check out the figures below, and look for the set in Toys “R” Us stores this holiday season!
