Hot Toys Announces Third Iron Man Diecast – the War Machine Mark II

Hot Toys War Machine Mark II Diecast 1

I guess we’re going to continue to see a lot of Iron Man news this week. Here’s the third armor to hit the new Diecast line from Hot Toys – the Mark II War Machine. The Mark II feels a lot sleeker than the original War Machine (pictured here with the Hot Toys Iron Monger), but in diecast form will only come with a few sets of hands as accessories – although Hot Toys continues to promote interchangeable parts with the MMS and Power Pose lines. To offset the notion that diecast won’t be as poseable as the traditional MMS figures, Hot Toys has included some pictures showing some of the poses possible – pretty impressive.

Hot Toys also showed off a smaller holographic War Machine slug which will have some exclusivity based on geography – they also did one for the Avengers Iron Man Mark VII, and that one was limited to the Sideshow exclusive version of the Mark VII (waiting list only now).

Win the Hot Toys Tony Stark and Mark XLII Diecast from Sideshow Collectibles

Tony Stark by Hot Toys Iron Man Mark XLII by Hot Toys

With Iron Man 3 opening in the States next weekend, Sideshow is caught up in the frenzy, and I’m not complaining. They already have one Hot Toys giveaway up on their website, for the Iron Man Mark II – Armor Unleashed Version, and they’ve just added another Hot Toys giveaway, this time for two figures, to the Sideshow Facebook page.

Up for grabs in this giveaway are the Hot Toys Tony Stark MMS and the Mark XLII Diecast. Not too shabby. Good luck!

Hot Toys Announces Three More Iron Man 3 Armors

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Mark 17 Heartbreaker Diecast

After watching the second Iron Man 3 trailer, the one with all those Iron Men, the first thing that crossed my mind (after “AWESOME!” of course) was “Hot Toys is going to have a field day with this!”

Today they announced three new armors from the movie, one for each of their 1/6 scale figure lines. For their premium Diecast line, it’s the Mark XVII Heartbreaker, the artillery level RT suit – this is the third Diecast product they’ve announced, joining the Mark XLII and the Iron Patriot. For Movie Masterpiece, it’s the Mark XXXVIII Igor, the heavy lifting suit – this one is reminiscent of the Hulkbuster armor from the comics, despite its blue coloring. And for the Power Pose line, it’s the Mark XXXV Redsnapper Armor, the disaster rescue suit – it’s joining the Mark XLII in the statue category.

And they’re promising even more armors to come. My wallet is going to need a break, or at least a cash infusion from Tony Stark.

Hot Toys Announces Second Iron Man Diecast – the Mark XLII

Hot Toys Diecast Iron Man Mark XLII 1

It should be no surprise that Hot Toys is making a Mark 42 figure for its Iron Man 3 line. However, they’ve only announced Diecast figures so far – the Hot Toys Diecast Iron Patriot was the first.

It appears that the diecast products will command a $50 premium over their normal (read: plastic) counterparts. The Mark 42 and the Iron Patriot are being sold for around $309.99 by online retailers. The recently announced limited edition (and plastic) Mark VII from the Avengers line is going for $259.99. Both the Mark 42 and the Mark VII feature LED lights, alternate heads and hands, and interchangeable armor pieces for pristine and battle-damaged looks, so it’s a fair comparison.

WebSwipe: Hot Toys Iron Man Armored Whiplash and Mark 42 – OneSixthWarriors.com

Hot Toys Iron Man 2 Whiplash Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Mark 42

The folks at OSW found a magazine preview of two upcoming Hot Toys releases – the armored Whiplash from Iron Man 2 and the Mark 42 armor from Iron Man 3, which opens in the US on May 3. With the DieCast logo, the initial thinking was that both figures would be part of the new sub-line, but it may be that only the Mark 42 will be diecast, while Whiplash will be in the more affordable main line.

As much as I love Mickey Rourke (he was an awesome Marv in Sin City) I found his Ivan Vanko, and the rest of IM2, a bit flat. So I skipped the first Whiplash from Hot Toys, but I will be pretty tempted to pick this one up. After all, anything armored from Hot Toys Iron Man turns out pretty damn cool.
