Hot Toys Teases Man of Steel Superman and Jor-El

The hype is building for Man of Steel, and Hot Toys is in on the action with teasers of their 1/6 scale figures for Superman and Jor-El. I am assuming that Zod is a foregone conclusion.

I think these are looking good so far (as expected), but we’ll have to see how the headsculpts match up to Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe. Mattel has already set the bar with the Man of Steel Movie Masters, which is notable considering the smaller 6-inch scale.

Hot Toys Announces the Jack Nicholson Joker (Mime Version) From Batman (1989)

Hot Toys Joker (Mime Version) 1

It seems like a long time since Hot Toys announced anything that wasn’t Iron Man related, so don’t be disappointed that this is not diecast or armor plated. While I’ve bought several Hot Toys figures from the Dark Knight series, I’ve resisted getting anything from the 1989 Michael Keaton version. Not that I disliked the movie – in fact, I loved it – but the aesthetic of the newer designs appeal to me more.

Still, I was tempted by the original Nicholson Joker, but this one seems to capture Nicholson a bit better.

Iron Man Movie Hall of Armors Infographic and Hot Toys Poll

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?

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).

Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VII Disassembled

Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VII Disassembled

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.
