Jay Cochran - February 09, 2023

The Avengers are BEYOND EARTH’S MIGHTIEST! In honor of their 60th anniversary, Marvel Entertainment will be celebrating Earth’s Mightiest Heroes with fans everywhere with an entire year-long lineup of new comics, collectibles, toys, apparel, accessories, home décor, party items, stationery, video series, live experiences, and more. To kick off the celebration, Marvel HQ will also be premiering TWO all-new short-form series: MARVEL’S AVENGERS: STUNT SQUAD and MARVEL MECH STRIKE: MECHASAURS!

Marvel HQ, Marvel’s official family platform, will first kick off the year of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes with MARVEL’S AVENGERS: STUNT SQUAD on Marvel HQ’s YouTube channel, launching Saturday, February 11! In collaboration with Hasbro, this new motion comics series of shorts will follow genius inventor Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, as he creates a new nanotech launch pad that allows his elite team of Avengers, aka his Stunt Squad, to fly through the air, show off their moves, and perform awesome heroic feats as they take their battles against Marvel’s meanest baddies to delightful new heights! Witness new high-flying adventures featuring Hulk, Black Panther, and Captain Americas Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson, premiering globally February 11 across Marvel HQ’s worldwide YouTube channels. Episodes will release regularly through April 2023, and later this month, Hasbro will bring characters from the shorts to life in a new upcoming toy line.

Adding to Marvel HQ’s premieres, the Avengers are back in MARVEL MECH STRIKE: MECHASAURS this March, only on Marvel HQ’s worldwide YouTube channels! In this third season of the popular Marvel Mech Strike short-form series, Ultron has returned to take over humanity…by sending it back to the PREHISTORIC AGE! When all hope seems lost, Shuri and Iron Man discover a new Mech Strike armor to give them a fighting chance. But will the combined might and ingenuity of the Avengers be enough to save the world? Following the success of the first two Marvel Mech Strike seasons, fans won’t want to miss exciting new MARVEL MECH STRIKE: MECHASAURS episodes, videos and digital activities, toys, collectibles, apparel, and more coming later this year. Stay tuned for more series details soon, and prepare for even more weekly Avengers content on Marvel HQ through 2023 – along with news about Marvel HQ’s biggest chapter yet!

Outside of Marvel HQ, kids and families will also have a chance to dive into a number of classic and recent animated series featuring your favorite Avengers characters returning to Disney XD all year long! Library titles that will be highlighted throughout the year include: “Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars,” “Marvel’s Avengers Black Panther’s Quest,” “Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Mission: Breakout!,” Marvel’s Spider Man” and “Marvel’s Spider Man Maximum Venom.”

Marvel Comics will also join the celebration this year with an all-new Avengers comic book series, starting with AVENGERS #1 on sale in May! Written by Jed MacKay (Moon Knight) and drawn by Marvel’s Stormbreaker artist C.F. Villa (X-Men), this new era will see Captain Marvel leading a team of some of Marvel’s greatest icons, including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, and Vision, as they assemble once more to face The Tribulation Events and a new and insidious danger rearing its head: one that the Avengers know all too well, and one that comes to them in the most dangerous of guises – that of a friend.

Since the Avengers first debuted in The Avengers #1 in 1963, Marvel’s iconic team of Super Heroes has stood united against countless threats against humanity. With a continuously changing roster of living legends, the Avengers today are now one of the most recognizable Super Hero teams in pop culture. Join the Avengers’ 60th anniversary celebrations with your favorite Marvel comics, games, shows, collectibles, apparel, and more!

The Avengers’ 60th anniversary campaign, AVENGERS: BEYOND EARTH’S MIGHTIEST, follows the massive success of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing celebration last year and promises to be bigger than ever before as Marvel marks six decades of its mightiest all-star team and showcases their thrilling storytelling and their inspirational, iconic team ups for fans all around the world.

This is the third year of their funky-themed, kid-targeted Avengers toys- and I'm cool with that. They're fun- keep in mind, they're targeted at kids, and a lot of 5-year-olds are going to think that Hulk riding on a robot gorilla is pretty awesome. I'll probably buy a thing or three from this line, as I have the past couple of years, particularly if they get discounted. Thor and a robo-goat would be a must buy, and Ultron-rex has the potential to be awesome.

No they didn't blow right past Ghost Rider anniversary. They had comics and other stuff celebrating. The Haslab was the anniversary set whether you like it or not. It failed. That's it.
So please stop bringing it up whenever Marvel or Hasbro tries to celebrate something else. This is a warning.

Dude, what!? Warning for what? Are you serious? When did this become a dictatorship? Whether I'm happy the Haslab failed or not. I'm not BTW, but Hasbro was at fault. It's still a legit talking point. Haslab is all they had in the pipe and GR deserved better.

NGL There are a couple versions of characters from these Mecha-Strike and Monster and now Dino offshoots that I'd buy in a second if they came in Legends form (most notably Monster-Doom and that Dino-Rider UItron, but probably a couple others too).

I'm betting we'll get our first glimpses at the 60th Legends relatively soon.

Could care less about any comics or weird off shoots of action figures that homage other IPs... just get to what the Legends that are rumored will look like. Be nice to get a few surprises on top of the rumored list that was leaked.

Spidey had a diverse selection of Legends with a few nice surprises ( Japanese Spidey!?!?!). XMEN anniversary looks to be shaping up nicely. Ghost Rider... had an anniversary.. really hoping that a few very specific leaks are home runs: Monica Rambeau, Black Knight and Sersi (as long as it's not MCU! ) Hawkeye with Sky Cycle...

Not sure how they could surprise us, maybe with a Reb Brown Cap or a Bill Bixby Hulk...

Either way, let's get these appetizers out of the way and get to the Legends main course!!

Soooooo.......we just blew right by the GR Anniversary, huh? The Retro figure and a failed attempt at an laughably overpriced Haslab and that's it? Weak, Hasbro. Really Weak. Hopefully we'll get something more well thought out with the Avengers Anniversary.

If Marvel are starting to push this, then I can see the next Hasbro Livestream revealing all the Avengers Anniversary stuff.

Lord_Scareglow - 2023-02-09 @ 9:06 pm

Yeah seriously Happy Meal toy cross sales, The Power Ranger Avengers are wacky, I want to hate it, but it's so awful it's intriguing, can their zords form a Mega Stan Lee Zord? if not no money for you Marvel.

This feels a little too much in your face to push toy sales.
