12 best things that happened during our live Tweet-a-thon of Marvel’s The Avengers
To celebrate Marvel Monday, our social media superhero, Susan, hosted Sideshow’s first ever live movie Tweet-a-thon, where fans around the world assembled on Twitter for fun and prizes as we watched Marvel’s The Avengers! In case you missed it, well, we’re bringing the party to you… Here’s a wrap up of the 12 best things that happened:
12. Susan kicked things off seeking the best new home for a Tesseract, and a Hot Toys Captain America figure set…
Alright. I’m getting way too excited to watch The Avengers today! Want to do a giveaway to get you all pumped? *Susan #SideshowAvengers

11. We laughed when Stark accused that guy of playing Galaga…
“That man is playing Galaga!” #SideshowAvengers

10. …And shed a small tear when we lost Agent Coulson.
I cry every time. You know what I’m talking about. #SideshowAvengers

— SideshowCollectibles (@collectsideshow) February 16, 2015
@collectsideshow #SideshowAvengers the fore shadowing is awesome! It shows the divide on man!

5. We attempted to unravel the apparent conspiracy behind Marvel’s use of “12%”
Is it just me or is Marvel is obsessed with 12%? Moments, babies… plans! #SideshowAvengers
— SideshowCollectibles (@collectsideshow) February 16, 2015
@collectsideshow their obsession's not that subtle
— Jared Moore (@JaredAMoore) February 16, 2015
@collectsideshow #SideshowAvengers I have 12% of a theory on that.
— Michael Duplessis (@mrdbios) February 16, 2015
@collectsideshow It's because the price of comics during the "Marvel Age" of comics, was 12 cents

4. There was a Loki giveaway for those burdened with glorious purpose…

3. …And a chance to win Banner before he got angry (ok we know, he’s always angry).
