Disc Wars: Avengers Anime Merchandise Revealed

The first wave of figures for Bandai's new toyline based on the upcoming Disc Wars: Avengers anime is finally revealed!

The first wave of figures features Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man and Thor. There are two sets of figures, first is the poseable figure and a disc and second is the Avengers in disc form in the upcoming TV anime series.


In the series, the Avengers (less Spider-Man) and the villains are trapped in discs thanks to Loki's machinations. For them to be unsealed in these discs, a program called "Biocode" is used.

According to Big Bad Toy Store's pre-order page, these figures are set for an April 2014 release.

Disc Wars: Avengers Anime Announced

An anime inspired by Marvel's The Avengers called "Disc Wars: Avengers" is set to premiere in Japan next spring. This title is produced by Marvel with Bandai producing the toys.

In the anime, portable capturing devices known as "Discs" were developed to capture evil villains. However, thanks to Loki's machinations, both villains and heroes are sealed up in these Discs and scattered around the world.

Amid the chaos, five youths obtained the power to restore these Disc-sealed heroes through a program called "Biocode". These youths received five discs that Spider-Man, who narrowly escaped being sealed himself, retrieved. Thus, these five can restore Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Wasp — the Avengers!

This isn't the first time Toei collaborated with Marvel in a project. Back in the 70's, Toei produced a live-action Spider-Man TV series.
