There were so many Iron Man armors during the “House Party Protocol” finale to Iron Man 3 that I’m sure I’ve missed a bunch, and this Mark VII is in stealth mode, after all. But this exclusive from Hot Toys is labeled as a movie promo version for the Avengers, where the Mark VII debuted, and I don’t recall Iron Man fighting Loki or the Chitauri with stealth mode activated. So let’s chalk this up to Hot Toys milking the Iron Man cash cow for all it’s worth. 😀
If I sound cynical, it’s just that the re-deco looks pretty awesome, but I’m already stuck wondering if I can afford the Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man. But iif you’re building your Iron Man armory, this will be a more limited release – Hot Toys has announced some Asian outlets, but like with their other exclusives, you can pre-order the Marvel Iron Man Mark VII Stealth Mode Version Sixth Scale Figure in the U.S. at Sideshow Collectibles.
