With ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’ still dominating the box office in it’s third consecutive weekend, and showing no signs of slowing down, Disney and Marvel have announced a release date for the superhero epic to hit home video of September 25, 2012. There will be three different releases, including a 4 disc 3D combo back, 2 Disc blu-ray combo pack, and a 2 disc DVD combo pack. Featuring a great selection of special features including deleted scenes, an alternate opening and ending, a new Marvel One Shot short film, and an audio commentary with Joss Whedon, these are just the tip of the iceberg of what will be a very exciting set to pick up. ‘The Avengers’ is my favorite film of the year, so I definitely can’t wait to pick this one up.

The line features: plush and novelty toys, consumer electronics accessories, and apparel and accessories. The second wave of product coming this fall will expand to include a face-to-face game, consumer electronics, stationery, home accessories, and Halloween costumes.
“‘Where’s My Water?’ has quickly become one of the most popular titles in mobile gaming history, making Swampy one of the most beloved characters ever born from a mobile franchise,” said Disney Mobile Bart Decrem, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Mobile. “Launching a line of Disney merchandise just seven months after hitting the App Store is a testament to the cultural relevance Swampy and his friends have already achieved.”
