On the off chance that someone is reading this post who hasn’t seen Iron Man 3 yet (it’s not you, is it?), I’ll try to be spoiler-free. Ben Kingsley’s portrayal of the Mandarin is probably the strongest performance in the movie. It’s also arguably the worst thing in the Iron Man trilogy, and yes, I’m including Tony Stark urinating in his armor in Iron Man 2. Sorry if the armor-wetting was a spoiler too.
That said, if you’re not a fan of the Mandarin from the movies, you can still enjoy this figure. He looks like a bad-ass, just like he did in the movie. And he’s got the chair, the sunglasses, the ten rings, and the attitude. That’s ACTING!
Iron Man 3 – 1/6th scale The Mandarin Collectible Figure
“The master is here.”
From the menacing portrayal in Iron Man 3’s movie trailer to the actual film that brings an unexpected twist, The Mandarin has been one of the most attention-grabbing characters in the movie. Although the representation of The Mandarin in the movie may have deviated from the comics, Sir Ben Kingsley has given a great performance to this peculiar role and Hot Toys is happy to present the 1/6th scale The Mandarin Collectible Figure from the movie.
The Mandarin collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Sir Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin in the movie, highlighting the newly developed head sculpt, tailored costume with remarkable details and accessories.
One thought on “Hot Toys Reveals the Mandarin from Iron Man 3”
Awesome. Except that’s not the Mandarin. It’s an actor working as a proxy for another villain. AKA a giant middle finger to Iron Man fans who paid money to see this stinkfest of a “movie”.
