If the toy prices are a bit high for you, check out the t-shirts that are on sale. With free shipping, they’re a pretty good deal. Happy 4th!
I was kind of hoping the just-revealed new figure from Diamond Select Toys’ Iron Man 3 Marvel Select line would be some sort of Pepper Potts figure. After all, they wouldn’t have to change anything about the Mark 42 armor except to give it an alternate Gwyneth Paltrow head sculpt, right? (Sorry, spoiler!) Instead, we get a battle-damaged variant – a predictable but likely a highly-desired choice. If you had been wondering why DST made a War Machine figure when that version of the armor didn’t appear in the movie, DST Chuck revealed in the latest Ask DST that they often start work on a movie line before the movie is done. In the case of Iron Man 3, they had an early script that featured War Machine before the Iron Patriot re-deco.
The new Mark 42 and the Iron Patriot will be exclusive to Disney Stores and online outlets DisneyStore.com and MarvelStore.com next month.
I know that Diamond Select Toys must have solicited the Marvel Select figures from Thor: The Dark World a while back, but I just saw them listed on the Things From Another World website. And it turns out they’ve got the lowest prices I’ve seen for pre-ordering them. At $19.99 each, they are lower by a fair amount than I’ve seen them on other e-tailers, including Amazon, with the Marvel Select Thor figures from the Dark World at $24.99 each.
These should arrive in late September. Thor: The Dark World opens in the US on November 8.
