Hot Toys Announces Limited Edition Battle Damaged Iron Man Mark VII

To further capitalize on the upcoming Iron Man 3 movie launch (opens in the US on May 3), Hot Toys is releasing a limited battle-damaged version of the Avengers Iron Man Mark VII armor.

In addition to the battle damage on the armor, this figure will also feature a new RDJ head sculpt. It’s unclear how this will be released beyond the initial 800 figures in Hong Kong, but I imagine Sideshow Toys will get an allotment, as they have with previous Hot Toys limited releases. If you’re interested, I’d suggest you scoop up a pre-order as soon as you see it.

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

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.

Hot Toys Reveals First Diecast Figure – Iron Man 3 Iron Patriot

Hot Toys has announced the first in its Diecast line of figures – the Iron Patriot from Iron Man 3. I am not sure whether this line is a competitive response to other diecast 1/6 products, like those of Singapore’s Play Imaginative, or just a natural line extension into an even more premium product. Either way, with increased shipping weight and more expensive materials, I am curious how these will be priced.

The Iron Patriot will have light-up features and a removable face plate revealing Rhodey (with Don Cheadle’s likeness, not yet finalized) but not much else – I wonder if they reduced the number of features to help keep the cost down. We’ll have to wait for pre-orders from Sideshow and others to get the full picture.

Hot Toys Updates the Tony Stark (Armor Testing Version) Figure

Hot Toys announced the Iron Man 3 Tony Stark (now dubbed the armor testing version) back in February. I thought the head sculpt was a decent likeness but apparently there was enough feedback that Hot Toys went back to the design studio and worked it a bit more. He looks a little worried now to me – considering what’s in store from the Mandarin, I don’t blame him.

Also added, an armored gauntlet for his right arm, to match the one they were already providing for the left. I think some people were hoping for a Pepper Potts instead. 🙂 She and Maria Hill are the only major supporting characters left from the Avengers without their own Hot Toys figures. Maybe Iron Man 3 will be the ticket for a Pepper figure.
