New banner and movie theater merchandise for THE AVENGERS

Just three months away and THE AVENGERS is continuing its gradual release of product and promotional items, leading up to the big day on May 4th, 2012. Today, we have a look at what you can anticipate seeing at the concession stand, as well as a new banner featuring the four main Avengers.

Popcorn buckets, cups (with toppers), keychains (?), etc. will gut punch more money out of you than your actual ticket and $5 3D glasses combined. Well, that is a huge percentage of how theaters make money, so why not?

I’m a sucker for a lot of this stuff anyway, although not so much that I MUST. HAVE. EVERYTHING. However, I will usually take advantage of some of the cooler promotions for movies I’m excited for. And, I guess I kinda want to see THE AVENGERS. Just a little.

Here’s a look at the new banner (not Banner):

For shits and giggles, heres the new Banner (not banner), Nick Fury, and Loki:

 

And here is the onslaught of theater-borne goodies:

 

 

 

And that about does it for THE AVENGERS product news for today.  Expect more, peeps.  A LOT more.  Plus, we’ve got the full, 30-second Super Bowl spot on Sunday.  Obviously, we don’t know if the movie is good, great, just okay, or *gasp* awful, but I’ve gotta hand it to Marvel in terms of marketing.  They’ve put forth a great push so far and I’m really looking forward to the more high-end products that’ll come out of this.  Stay tuned.
