I have been lamenting not picking up the original Mark III Iron Man from Hot Toys – I’m really a cheap bastard when it comes to what I’ll spend on toys, and there’s still a lot of adjusting I need to do to get accustomed to high-end 1/6 scale figures. And because of that, I can’t bring myself to pay even more on the aftermarket.

I thought I would have to wait until Hot Toys released a something for the Iron Man 2 movie sequel (I have heard there’s not a lot of differences in the armor design), but it looks like I’ll get my chance with this battle damaged version. It has even more features than the original, so if you’re ok with some minor scuffing on various parts of the body you can still have an almost good as new Iron Man with the non-damaged head and chest piece.

Folks who picked up the original, don’t despair – you got the non-helmeted Tony Stark head, and I’ve seen that go for almost as much as the original figure on Ebay!

Saw these first on TheFwoosh.com in the Mark III Iron Man Battle Damaged thread, from a Chinese blog called Plastic Enemies.

Looks like the battle-damaged version of the Mark III Iron Man will have the same guidance flaps like the first Mark III, a flip-up mask like the Mark II Iron Man (versus interchangeable Stark head like the original Mark III), a removable chest plate, and an articulated panel on the forearm.  Oh yeah, the battle damage too.

I’ll probably have to pick one of these up, even though I kind of want to wait to see what Hot Toys does with the Iron Man 2 armors.

Here’s your chance, folks – if you didn’t get on board when Hot Toys released its Iron Man Mark III, they’ve just released a teaser pic showing a battle-damaged version of the Mark III suit.

I was reluctant to spend the money the first time and passed, and I’ve been more than a little regretful about it. On this version, I’ll wait to see what the differences are, because I am positive Hot Toys will release another version of the Iron Man suit for the Iron Man 2 movie next summer.
