The Avengers take Berlin in these marvelous fan photos

The cast of Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War are in Germany right now filming for the highly anticipated blockbuster – but they’re not the only Avengers who assembled there recently. Sixth scale enthusiast, Bob Sisson, was looking for ways to share his growing collection with others, so on a trek to see his daughter off to college overseas, he decided to take Tony, Bruce, Natasha along for for the ride.

From Honolulu to Berlin, the retired US Air Force pilot documented his travels on Instagram, where he captured fantastic sightseeing moments with the Hot Toys heroes at historical landmarks including the Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, and all the way at the top of the Victory Column.

“It was amazing,” said Sisson. “The characters add so much to the photos of the trip. Further more they were an excellent conversation starter. At one point, German tourists lined up behind me asking if they can take a picture of the Avengers at Brandenburger Tor with their camera. My daughter was a little apprehensive (and perhaps embarrassed) to start, but this was soon overcome when she saw the enthusiasm of complete strangers as they marveled at and admired the detail of the figures.”
