Every weekend here at CA we’re cracking open the latest and/or just greatest decades old action figures around to see what sets them apart from the articulated plastic pack.

I'll go ahead and spoil the review and just say it: This figure rules. Hit the jump to see why in our full video review.

Good Smile Company will release the second of its "Big Three" Figma action figures from The Avengers movie in August with two different versions of Iron Man sporting his shiny Mark VII armor. The only hitch? Both of them will run collectors Tony Stark prices.

The strongest -- and most deadpan -- soldier from Attack on Titan will get the full range of Figma action figure articulation and accessorizing in 2014. Captain Levi of The Survey Corps Special Operations Squad will join AoT protagonists Eren Jaeger and Mikasa Ackerman sometime around their respective June and July releases to help defend humanity and its last walled stronghold against the scourge

There've been a number of dolls and 3.75" Indiana Jones figures over the years, but this March the movie and sometime Marvel/Dark Horse comic book star will be getting the Figma treatment from Japanese toymaker Max Factory.
