Tie-in merchandise for Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” is popping up online this week, with one set revealing several variations of Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor von Doom character.

The film would appear to boast at least three different outfits for Doom – the main Doctor Doom one seen in the posters and promos that’s kind of armoured, and two more cloth-oriented versions.

Hot Toys previously revealed one, dubbed the ‘Victor Von Doom’ variant, which seems like a more rudimentary version of the main outfit – more basic and cloth-based.

Now, a new Pop Mart figure over at IGN has revealed another variation – ‘Lord Doom’. The metal mask is smoother, and the outfit under the cape is much more akin to a military regime dictator. That fits in with Doom’s role as ruler of Latveria.

Also revealed today are the film’s tie-in collectible popcorn bucket and drink container – both having a very Doctor Doom theme. Check out a brief video of that below.

Marvel has also posted a 10-hour ‘ambience’ video showing an illustrated version of the last moments of “Loki” with the character sitting on a throne holding the timelines while the “Purpose Is Glorious” track from the show’s OST plays on loop.

All this comes as the previous entry in the series, “Avengers: Endgame,” overtook “Avatar” this past weekend as the most successful film of all time worldwide with $2.925 billion thanks to business from its ‘Encore’ re-release.

“Avengers: Doomsday” opens in cinemas on December 18th.
