Do you love the Iron Patriot armor from Iron Man 3, but wish it was available in a “less patriotic” and “more grey” color scheme? Do you prefer the limited Hot Toys Special Edition sixth-scale figures with extra stuff to the mass release versions? Do you have ambitions of collecting a small armada of little holographic Iron Man armors? If you’ve answered “yes” to these questions, Hot Toys has just the thing for you: the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 War Machine Mark 2 Special Edition with bonus War Machine Mark I holographic figure is now available…

You might be asking yourself “Where the heck is this War Machine Mark 2 armor design coming from?!” Apparently, the War Machine Mark II armor was featured in a cut scene in a preliminary script that was distributed to merchandising companies, hence why so many companies from Kotobukiya to Diamond Select Toys to Hot Toys are producing War Machine Mark 2 figures as part of their Iron Man 3 movie lines.

What makes the Special Edition Hot Toys War Machine “special” is that it comes packed with a Holographic War Machine Mark I figurine. This Special Edition is highly-limited and expected to sell out long before the regular edition of the diecast Hot Toys War Machine Mark II (obviously), so get your orders in early if you want this one. Sideshow Collectibles is the exclusive distributor for the Iron Man 3 Hot Toys War Machine Mark 2 diecast figure Special Edition and has it available for order right now.

I was pleased to see that this Hot Toys Iron Man 3 diecast War Machine Mark 2 Movie Masterpiece Series figure is priced at the “rock bottom low price” of $284.99. It sounds silly, but that makes this War Machine the single cheapest Hot Toys Diecast Movie Masterpiece Series figure yet–both the Iron Patriot and Iron Man Mark 42 Hot Toys diecast figures retailed for $309.99. Look for the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 War Machine Mark 2 figure to ship out in February 2014.
