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!
Genius, martial artist, and ten rings. ‘Nuff said!
As the Iron Man 3 movie is starting to hit theaters worldwide, Hot Toys is in the process of creating collectible figurines for a number of armors that are introduced in the film. However, armor suits are not the only thing we are working on. A formidable foe of Tony Stark is also on our list!

I take it back – I’ve been calling the figures from the Hot Toys’ Power Pose line “statues” – and with their reveal of the Iron Man Mark 35 Red Snapper, I see that I’ve been wrong. Sure, the Iron Man Mark 42 Power Pose may be pretty limited in its articulation. It will have interchangeable parts to facilitate a couple of dynamic poses. But the Red Snapper features a bunch of articulation – maybe not the same as in Hot Toys’ standard and diecast lines, but certainly enough to be wrong to call it a statue.
Hot Toys also shows how some parts will be interchangeable between Power Pose and the other Hot Toys Iron Man lines. You can swap an RDJ head onto the Red Snapper, and you can take those big claws and fit them onto another Iron Man. Hopefully we’ll see the other two Iron Man armors Hot Toys announced with Red Snapper soon.

I came across the Daniel Picard Photography website via a Sideshow Toys Facebook post and have been cursing his photography and Photoshop skills ever since. He has filled up his 1:1 Toys project by “using collectible toys and and giving them the illusion of being full-size.”
His shots include figures from Sideshow Collectibles, Hot Toys, 3A Toys, and more – now I envy his collection too.
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.
