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.

Here’s a few more pics from the Iron Man 3 Suit Up at Hysan Place in Hong Kong. I am totally digging the juxtaposition of the life-sized armors with Hot Toys’ 1/6 versions.

Maybe if I win the Powerball I’ll build my own Hall of Armors – sadly, that comment applies to both scales.

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.
