Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Iron Man Silver Centurion Armor Announced!

Hot Toys sent along an assortment of their upcoming Hot Toys Iron Man 3 figures and collectibles to this weekend’s Disney Toy Collectors’ Forum Exhibition in Shangai. All of the figures and news that Hot Toys brought to the event are things that we’ve already seen or known about, except with one key exception. At the event, Hot Toys displayed a slide of upcoming Iron Man 3 Hot Toys figures, including the Iron Man Heartbreaker Armor, The Mandarin, the Iron Man Igor Armor, and… the first confirmation of a Hot Toys Iron Man Silver Centurion figure!

Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Iron Man Silver Centurion Armor Announcement

Though there were an armada of new Iron Man armors in the newly-released Iron Man 3 movie, if there’s one armor that Iron Man comic book fans were most excited to see, it was the classic Iron Man Silver Centurion armor! Iron Man proudly wore the famous silver and red “Silver Centurion” suit for years in the Iron Man Marvel Comics, and though there have been dozens of new armors in the comics since, the Silver Centurion armor remains a favorite amongst fans to this day.

Minimates Iron Man 3 Toys R Us Exclusive Silver Centurion & Skeleton Armor FiguresFor the Iron Man 3 film, the Silver Centurion armor is officially referred to as the Iron Man Mark 33 Enhanced Energy Suit. The suit gets to participate in the final battle in the movie quite a bit more than most of the other Iron Man armors do, although it doesn’t accomplish much. The Silver Centurion armor is one of only three Iron Man minor armors to be featured in the Iron Man 3 Minimates figures line by Diamond Select Toys (along with the Skeleton armor and Heartbreaker armor).

Iron Man 3 Mark 33 Advanced Energy Suit Iron Man Silver Centurion ArmorOf all the various armors seen in Iron Man 3, the Silver Centurion Iron Man armor was probably the surest bet for a Movie Masterpiece Series figure, but it’s nice to get confirmation that Hot Toys is indeed working on an Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Silver Centurion Iron Man figure. I would assume this is going to be in the Movie Masterpiece Diecast Series, as all the Iron Man 3 MMS figures except the Igor armor have been, but I guess we’ll just have to wait a little bit longer to find out.

I’ll post more information and specifics on the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Silver Centurion figure as it becomes available. You can ‘Like’ Marvel Toy News on Facebook to get updates sent directly to your Facebook Newsfeed. Since the cat is now out of the bag, I’d expect an announcement from Hot Toys about the Silver Centurion this month, if not this coming week.
