There's no avoiding movie-related tie-in merchandise. With The Avengers being released soon, we can expect to see many related products. We don't always see the coolest licensed products but there are times when some really great ones are made.
For example, check out Hot Toys' 1/6th scale Nick Fury limited edition figurine.
If you've ever had the chance to check out (or own) any products from Hot Toys, you know they put in a load of detail into their products. Hot Toys doesn't put out simple action figures. We're talking high end products. The amount of detail put in is uncanny.

If there's ever a threat to your collection, you know this Nick Fury figurine would be able to take it on. Check out these other shots to appreciate the amount of detail Hot Toys is putting in.
No word on the price or how limited this will be. Based on recent Hot Toys figurines sold through Sideshow Collectibles (such as the recent Captain America and Red Skull), the price tends to be between $100 and $200. There is a lot of accessories and of course, if it's really limited, you can expect to pay more. We'll have to keep an eye out for this one (no pun intended).
