Avengers Doomsday merchandise rollout
Entities: Avengers: Doomsday · Elizabeth Olsen · Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) · Marvel Studios · Avengers: Doomsday
Overview
In late July 2026, Hot Toys debuted a premium Avengers: Doomsday collectible line. Within two days Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts announced three interchangeable figures—Captain America, Doctor Doom and Thor—with accessories such as shields, capes and weapon attachments, and LEGO released five construction sets, including a Doctor Doom bust, a minifigure pack, the New Avengers Tower, a Quinjet and an Epic Battle set, with pre‑orders slated for September‑October dispatch.
The next day Hasbro unveiled a new wave of Marvel Legends 6‑inch figures at San Diego Comic‑Con 2026, also tied to Avengers: Doomsday. The lineup adds characters from the Avengers, X‑Men and Fantastic Four, featuring exclusives for Walmart, Amazon and a Doctor Doom figure. A three‑pack of Mole Man and his Moloids opened for pre‑order, scheduled to ship in early October.
Later in July, cast details emerged: Elizabeth Olsen confirmed she will not reprise Wanda Maximoff, while Robert Downey Jr. will portray Doctor Doom, Chris Hemsworth returns as Thor, and Paul Rudd as Ant‑Man. Reports also suggest Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool will appear alongside Tobey Maguire’s Spider‑Man and other X‑Men during the multiversal incursion. The film, directed by the Russo brothers and produced by Kevin Feige, is set for a December release.
Additional merchandise followed, with Hot Toys adding a 1/6‑scale Gambit figure modeled on Channing Tatum’s film appearance and a corresponding Gambit statue, expanding the already extensive product lineup.
