And here's Hot Toys 1/6 scale S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson 12-inch figure from The Avengers, wearing his set of black suit including jacket and pants, long-sleeve shirt, patterned tie, leather-like belt with buckle, One (1) pair of black socks, One (1) pair of leather-like black shoes

SHIELD agents carry the Glock 19 as their sidearm. So does Agent Phil Coulson. There's no holster for his pistol :( not clear how he's supposed to carry it around with him

The 1/6 scale suit is a well tailored and stitched. It's also a very good fit and 12-inch Phil Coulson wears it nicely

Shoes are spit shined ;p

Close-up shots / views of the Hot Toys The Avengers: Agent Phil Coulson 1/6th scale head sculpt. Certainly bears the likeness of actor Clark Gregg and the resemblance is pretty spot on :)

The level of painting head sculpts and skin tones have certainly improved by leaps and bounds and this is just an example of how much improvement has been made in this area. The head sculpt is so life-like and realistic!

This is another case where the head and neck are molded as one piece, just like Hot Toys James Gordon figure (reviewed HERE). In other Hot Toys releases, the head and neck are separate pieces.

Hot Toys is certainly leading the way with their phenomenally realistic head sculpts with the insanely real-like looking skin tones. It just blows the mind!

Close-up of the ten (10) Captain America trading cards and S.H.I.E.L.D. folder. The trading cards are bloodied, which means they are the ones shown by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to motivate the Avengers to work as a team after Coulson's death at the hands of Loki.
