Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Tony Stark The Mechanic Up for Order!

Posted on by August 5, 2013
Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Tony Stark Mandarin Mansion Assault with Iron Man Arm

The central theme of Iron Man 3 is that it is the strength, bravery and intelligence of an individual that makes them a hero–not their weapons or technology. We see this with both Tony Stark (who spends the vast majority of the movie without armor) and James Rhodes (who is far more effective outside the Iron Patriot armor than he is in it in the film). So it’s only fitting that amongst an armada of Iron Man suits, Hot Toys capture both of Robert Downey Jr.’s iconic appearances from Iron Man 3. The first Workshop Tony Stark has been up for order for months, and the new (and far cooler) Hot Toys Tony Stark the Mechanic figure is now up for pre-order!

SDCC 2013 Exclusive Funko Metallic Red Hulk POP! Vinyl Review

Posted on by July 28, 2013
Funko Metallic Red Hulk POP! Vinyl Bobblehead Figure

If there’s a toy company out there that I desperately want to love more than Funko, I don’t know what it is. I’ve had my share of quality control issues with the Funko POP! Vinyls figure line over the years, which has left me mostly admiring their goods from afar. But with the massive amount of cool 2013 San Diego Comic Con exclusives Funko released, I could resist no more, and picked up a trio of their con exclusive Marvel POP! Vinyls. By luck (or bad luck) of the draw, I opened the Metallic Red Hulk POP! Vinyl first…

Posted on by July 26, 2013

Though we’re almost a year away from the debut of the movie, the first company has announced the figure license for the upcoming 2014 Amazing Spider-Man 2 film. No, it’s not Hasbro announcing a line of figures to coincide with the movie (I’m certain that there will be one)–it’s Hot Toys! Coming in 2014, we’ll begin getting Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie Masterpiece Series figures!

Certain to be one of the most controversial figures announced by Hot Toys this year, today the company announced another new entry in the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 series. You may have thought that Hot Toys had played all their cards at SDCC 2013 last week, but they had at least one more figure they were holding back: the Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Tony Stark Mandarin Mansion Assault version sixth scale figure!

Though much of the focus on Kotobukiya at San Diego Comic Con 2013 was focused on their upcoming Avengers Marvel NOW ARTFX+ statues, the Kotobukiya Fine Arts statues line made itself known with two brand new 1/6 scale statues.

Thor 2 Marvel Select Thor & Jane Foster Figures Photos! SDCC 2013

Thor 2 Marvel Select Jane Foster Figure SDCC 2013 Natalie Portman

San Diego Comic Con 2013 has come and gone now, and while I’m extremely pleased with most of what was shown for Marvel figures (for the most part), one line that I felt a little let down by was the usually awesome Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select display. That’s not to say the 2013 SDCC Marvel Select display was a total loss. Though DST didn’t show anything previously unannounced at SDCC 2013, they did debut the movie Thor 2 Marvel Select figures of Thor and Jane Foster from “Thor: The Dark World”!

Iron Man Marvel Legends Series 3 in Fall 2013 – Mandarin, Pepper!

Posted on by July 22, 2013
Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends Rescue Figure Wearing Helmet Pepper Potts SDCC 2013

Though the “Iron Man 3” movie wasn’t quite the most well-loved Marvel Studios movie to date (except to me–I loved it more than any other Marvel movie, bar “Avengers), Hasbro is moving forward with a third series of Iron Man Marvel Legends in Fall 2013 regardless. This is going to be a rather controversial wave, however, as it contains an armor not seen in “Iron Man 3”, a villain (of a sort) who’s the subject of more hatred toward Marvel Studios than any other character ever from the movies, and a character who’s not (exactly) in the movies at all…

UPDATE: Hasbro has confirmed via photos that the Pepper Potts Rescue figure can wear her helmet. Photo added to the article–she looks great!
