Hot Toys is gearing up to unveil their full line-up of The Avengers movie tie-in figures, and they recently released a glimpse at the first toy: Nick Fury. Samuel L. Jackson has his best angry/intimidating face on as the collectible shows the character in a variety of poses (Nick Fury with gun! Nick Fury with briefcase! Nick Fury with walkie talkie!). The company urges fans to stay tuned as they’re expected to unveil the rest of the characters over the next few weeks until the release of Joss Whedon’s film.

Hit the jump to read the full message from Hot Toys and to get a look at the Nick Fury figure, as well as a tease for the rest of the Avengers team. The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4th.

Via their Facebook page, Hot Toys released the following message:

Following the great response of the announcement of Nick Fury from The Avengers, one of our largest campaigns this year, we believe that our fans just can’t wait to have a glimpse of the other members of the team!

Glad to let our fans know that all characters are being developed in good progress now! Fans will be expecting the news of the collectibles of the characters from time to time before movie launches!

The Avengers were born! Fans, please stay tuned tight!

Here are the images of Nick Fury, followed by the tease of the other characters (like Shadow Hulk):
