For the record, I’m more of a fan of the original Earth-616, Howling Commandos Fury than I am of the Ultimates Fury that Samuel Jackson’s character in the upcoming ‘The Avengers’ is clearly based on. Having said that, this is one pretty bad ass action figure. Aside from a highly-detailed 1/6th scale (approximately 30 cm tall) sculpt, the figure also features over 30 points of articulation. Accessories include a labeled stand, multiple interchangeable hands, an RPG, pistol, and suitcase with light-up tesseract (Cosmic Cube for the purists) and patterns.

I agree that the 616 Fury is definitely cooler (even cool enough to stay cool after being played by the Hoff), but nerd OCD necessitates me pointing out that the character Sam Jackson is playing is himself. When creating the “Ultimate” Nick Fury Sam Jackson was the main influence. So yes, Sam Jackson is playing a character that was based on a character that was based on him.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a superb job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Safari. Outstanding Blog!
