NYCC 2013: Play Imaginative Super Alloy Iron Man Quarter Scale House Party

While Play Imaginative didn’t show quite as many quarter scale Super Alloy Iron Man figures as they did in 1/12 scale, they still have enough in the works to rival the impressive showing that Hot Toys has in 1/6. If you consider that these are upwards of 80% diecast parts, then there’s really no comparison, since Hot Toys only just started producing figures in diecast.

I think the competition will be good for us as collectors – but for now in the United States, the licenses don’t overlap. If you want high-end 1/12 or 1/4 scale figures, it’s Play Imaginative. If you want 1/6, then it’s Hot Toys.

NYCC 2013: Play Imaginative Super Alloy Iron Man 1/12 Extravaganza

Before NYCC, I thought I was overwhelmed with the number of Iron Man figures that Hot Toys is pumping out. Thus, I was totally unprepared for the Iron Wars that have been waged on me by Play Imaginative. Courtesy of Yes Anime, the Play Imaginative distributor in the United States, I was assaulted by the sheer tonnage of Iron Man armors that were on display.

Mind you, this post, including 57 pictures, is only of the 1/12 scale figures they brought to the show. Sure, some figures have more than one pic, but I believe there’s over fifty (wow!) unique 6-inch scaled Iron Man armors on display.

I did not have my real camera yesterday (well, I did, but I forgot my memory card). I have to go back to Play Imaginative, because they have a metric ton of Super Alloy Iron Man figures, in both 1/12 and 1/4 scale. You won’t understand the mind-blowing you’ll get until you see what a real House Party Protocol would be like with Play Imaginative.

To get you the pics you want as fast as I can, I’m hooking you into my Instagram feed. If you’re on Instagram, follow me at afpron – that’s for AFP Ron, not AF Pron :). Stay tuned for better pictures soon.

Bandai S.H. MonsterArts Aliens vs Predators Alien Warrior and Predator Wolf – Hi-Res Pics, Timing, and Price

A week ago we got a more in depth look at the first figures from Bandai’s S.H. MonsterArts Aliens vs. Predators license – the Alien Warrior and the Predator Wolf. Now, courtesy of Bluefin, we’ve got high-res versions of the pics, plus the timing and cost for the U.S. releases.

The Alien Warrior is arriving first, next February, for $56.99. The Predator Wolf follows in March, for $58.99. I know that’s not cheap, but with the detail, articulation, and accessories, I think these could be a great value for this class of figure. What do you guys think?

Play Imaginative Shares More Pics of the Super Alloy Iron Man 2 Hammer Drones

Are you interested in 1/12 scale diecast Iron Man figures? Play Imaginative has just posted more pics of their Super Alloy Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2.

Although I haven’t seen specs yet, these should be upwards of 80% diecast with articulation up the wazoo, and be priced around $100 and change. Yeah, I know – that’s tough for army builders, but there’s always the lottery!
