DC Universe Classics Superman by Ibentmyman-thing – I’m a big fan of IBMMT, being a proud holder of several of his customs (including his modern Johnny Quick and Power Ring!) – his Superman has a number of improvements, including a new more determined head sculpt, a larger Superman shield, and a more classic light blue paint job – ends May 09, 2013 18:30:05 PDT
In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
We found this great infographic in our inbox about the Iron Man armors portrayed in the three Iron Man movies and the Avengers. It shows enough factoids about each to perhaps extend the Trivial Pursuit line to include an Iron Man edition. Oddly, the Mark 42 is notably absent from the list. The Iron Man infographic is from Costume Discounters, of all places. I guess they would like to do a brisk business in Iron Man and other super hero costumes, and I wish them the best of luck.
The last portion of the infographic shows the new Iron Man 3 armors revealed before the movie opened (minus the Mark 42 of course). And we know Hot Toys is working off this list, since they’ve already announced the Iron Patriot, War Machine, Red Snapper, Heart Breaker and Igor as upcoming releases.
It got me thinking, which of the three remaining armors will they make next? But more importantly, which do you want next?
I think I already know, but let’s see what you guys have to say. Of course, there’s a ton more armors featured in the movie (spoiler, if you somehow managed to miss all of the Iron Man previews they showed in the last few months), so this list will probably grow even longer – anyone know a site that lists them all?
Ever wondered how many parts are required to make a Hot Toys Iron Man figure? This is an extremely cool picture of an Avengers Iron Man Mark VII figure in its pre-assembled state, with its more than 300 individual parts. One piece that’s missing though is the head sculpt of RDJ – I guess a disembodied head might be a bit macabre.
Don’t worry – if you get this figure (you can still pre-order the Iron Man Mark VII from Sideshow with expected delivery in May) you won’t have to build it yourself, although I’m sure there are some model builders out there who would relish the challenge. This exploded view of the figure is just a display piece at the Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Collectible Figurines Exhibit at Action City in Singapore. If you happen to be close by, the exhibit is open through May 5th.

Sideshow Collectibles is proud to partner with Legacy Effects to bring you the Hulk Maquette, from the smash hit, The Avengers. Designed by Marvel and Co-developed with Legacy, the renowned special effects studio, bring actor Mark Ruffalo’s dramatic transformation from the mild mannered Dr. Bruce Banner, into the most formidable member of the Avengers team, the Hulk. Crafted in 1:4 scale with remarkable attention to detail, this incredible maquette stands over two feet tall, a definitive entry in Sideshow’s The Avengers collection.
Sideshow Collectibles is celebrating the Iron Man 3 movie with a Hot Toys giveaway and the launch of the life-sized Mark 42 (for those of you who are Roman numeral challenged) statue. On the Iron Man 3 celebration page you’ll be able to sign up for their mailing list, which will let you know when you can pre-order the exclusive Hot Toys battle-damaged Mark VII armor from the Avengers line. In addition, you’ll be able to sign up for their giveaway of the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 2 Armor Unleashed version – you know, this is the Iron Man armor that the Skrull-that-looks-like-Don-Cheadle (who replaced Rhodey in the second movie) stole to give to the US military.
The life-sized Iron Man Mark XLII by Beast Kingdom turned out a little more expensive than I thought it would. I had used the life-sized T-800 endoskeleton, which costs a mere $5,999.99, as a comp. But the Iron Man statue is clocking in at $8,499.99 – for that price it ought to include the Iron Babe standing next to it (but it doesn’t.) I suppose I’ll add it to the “if I win the lottery” list.
