The Avengers Take Brooklyn

In case you haven’t noticed, The Avengers are everywhere lately. In order to gear up for the upcoming Avengers: The Age of Ultron, we made our way to the Atlantic Center Target in Brooklyn, New York to play around with the latest slate of action figures, toys and gear. What happened next surprised even us.

First things first. To get in to the Avengers spirit, we hulked out at Barclays Center — decked out in a Hulk mask and Hulk gloves.

No one seemed to notice. I guess stranger things have happened in NYC.

Once we were fully hulked out, we infiltrated Target to meet up with our fellow Avengers.

After getting distracted in the electronics section, we eventually fled with our new action figure friends to Prospect Park, where they honed their skills on a treacherous mountain peak.

Oof. Looks like Iron Man needs to break out his Hulk Buster armor…

After an hour of messing around rigorous training, we decided to catch a view of the NYC skyline. As it turns out, Hulk Buster armor DOES makes an appearance during a surreptitious rooftop meeting with Thor.

What could they be discussing?? I mean, something top secret probably.

Epic shot.

Batroc the Leaper watches from above while playing…an imaginary violin?

…until he’s inexplicably dangling upside down by giant Hulk hands.

After that we were all pretty tired. We decided to call it a day…

But it was a pretty fantastic day overall.

What happens next? That’s up to you. And FYI: Avengers gear isn’t JUST for adults. Kids like The Avengers too. So pick up your Avengers gear at Target and go nuts.
