Kotobukiya Hulkbuster Iron Man & Hulk ARTFX+ Statues Revealed!

Kotobukiya Avengers Age of Ultron Hulkbuster Iron Man and Hulk Statues

When it was announced a couple months ago that Kotobukiya was producing Avengers Age of Ultron ARTFX+ statues, my gut feeling was “Meh. It’ll take a lot for Kotobukiya to impress me with movie-based ARTFX+ statues.” Well, today Kotobukiya unveiled the very first two Kotobukiya Age of Ultron ARTFX+ statues, and it’s time for me to open my mouth and eat some crow, because both are absolute must-buys: the Kotobukiya Hulkbuster Iron Man and Hulk ARTFX+ statues have now been revealed!

Marvel Play Arts Kai Iron Man Variant Photos & Order Info!

Close-Up of Marvel Play Arts Kai Iron Man Variant Figure

There were very few unexpected Marvel toy developments at New York Comic Con 2014 last October, but one announcement that did catch me totally off-guard came from the Square-Enix booth, where Square-Enix quietly announced the Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant figures line! There was only one prototype figure on display at the booth, and we’ve had to wait quite a while to see finished photos, but the time is now upon us: the Marvel Play Arts Kai Iron Man figure is now up for order!

Funko Hulkbuster Iron Man POP Vinyl 6″ Figure Revealed!

Hulkbuster Iron Man Funko POP Vinyls Figure Packaged

Word leaked out to me a few weeks ago that Funko was planning to celebrate the most marketable “new” character in the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie–Hulkbuster Iron Man–in a big way. When photos popped up this week of almost every other announced figure however, I assumed Funko was holding onto this as a big Toy Fair 2015 reveal. I assumed wrong: the 6″ Funko Hulkbuster Iron Man POP Vinyls figure has now been revealed!

Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron 2.5″ Figures Revealed!

Avengers Age of Ultron Figures 2 Inch Hasbro 2015

When Hasbro marched out the Guardians of the Galaxy 2.5″ figures last year, they weren’t exactly met with abundant love and praise. While the smaller scale allowed Hasbro to produce affordable in-scale vehicles, the figures themselves were lacking in articulation, paint apps and sculpting detail, making them some of the most collector-derided Marvel figures of 2014. Collectors used to the Marvel Universe style of super-articulated 3 3/4″ figures were just not impressed. And it looks like they’ll continue to be unimpressed in 2015, as a series of Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron 2.5″ figures is on the way… along with a Quinjet and Avengers Tower playset!

Hot Wheels Avengers Tower Takeover Set Revealed & Photos!

Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Wheels Avengers Tower Takeover Set Box

When the first Avengers movie came out, the franchise hadn’t yet proven itself as a record-shattering sales-juggernaut, so many toy manufacturers didn’t give the Avengers the time of day back in 2012. But this year–this year–everybody wants a piece of the Avengers Age of Ultron pie. And that means we are going to get all kinds of wacky, crazy merchandise–my favorite kind of merch. Case in point? This Hot Wheels Avengers Tower Takeover Set, in which, uhhh… well, Iron Man in sports car form tries to drive around a mammoth Ultron and make him explode!

Avengers Age of Ultron Hulkbuster Iron Man Titan Hero Figure!

Avengers Age of Ultron Titan Hero Tech Figures

The New York Toy Fair 2015 isn’t for another month, but it seems that the Hasbro Avengers: Age of Ultron toys just couldn’t wait that long to make their grandiose debut! Of course, it’s not the Marvel Legends figures that everyone’s been waiting for that leaked out onto store shelves early. No, it’s a slightly less beloved line–the Avengers Age of Ultron Titan Hero Series! But while these Avengers AOU Titan Hero Tech figures will absolutely not be for everyone, they do give us our very first look at a Hasbro Hulkbuster Iron Man figure…

SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark 43 Figure Photos & Pre-Order!

Avengers Age of Ultron SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark 43 Figure Bandai April 2015

When it comes to high-end Iron Man figures, Hot Toys is the undisputed king. But not every collector has the space (or money) to collect an armada of $250+ sixth scale Iron Man figures. For those who prefer smaller and cheaper masterpieces, however, there’s another option for import Iron Man action figures: SH Figuarts. The downside is that it usually takes at least a year and a half for Bandai to release a new Iron Man armor after it appears in a movie. But this time–this time–Bandai is beating even the movie to the punch: the SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark 43 is now up for order!

Iron Monger Marvel Mashers Figure Hasbro

We interrupt all of this news about Avengers: Age of Ultron, Hot Toys, Funko and Marvel Legends to talk about what you all really want to hear about: a new Marvel Super Hero Mashers figure has now been released!

We’ve been primarily getting Spider-Man villains in the line up until now, but it’s time for Mashers Iron Man to get a nemesis of his own: the Marvel Mashers Iron Monger figure has now been released online and in some stores! And hey, he’s really not that bad…

Hot Toys Thanos & Hulkbuster Iron Man Revealed & Photos!

Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man Figure Revealed

Against all odds and expectations, Hot Toys announced earlier this week that they would be debuting the insanely-anticipated Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man and Thanos figures at the Hong Kong Toy Soul 2014 event this week.

We had to wait a couple hours for the event to officially begin before they were put on display, but Hot Toys was true to their word: the Hot Toys Thanos and Hulkbuster Iron Man sixth scale figures are in the house!

Hot Toys Tony Stark Arc Reactor Creation Figure Up for Order!

Tony Stark with Arc Reactor Creation Accessories Hot Toys 2015 Set

Given that Hot Toys already put two Iron Man sixth scale figures up for order last week and another this week (for a grand total of over $900 in pre-orders), it seems reasonable to think that Hot Toys might be done with old Tony Stark for a couple weeks. But that kind of logical thought process leads to fallacy, and Hot Toys knows no limits when it comes to milking Tony Stark! Digging all the way back to the Iron Man 2 movie for inspiration, the Hot Toys Tony Stark with Arc Reactor Creation accessories is now up for order!

Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 43 Order Info!

Avengers Age of Ultron Iron Man Mark 43 Hot Toys Sixth Scale Figure

Ordinarily, Hot Toys kicks off a new branch of Hot Toys Marvel sixth scale Movie Masterpiece Series figures about one month–maybe two–before a movie is actually released. But for Avengers: Age of Ultron, things are a little bit different. Maybe it’s because the first Avengers movie was the most successful superhero movie of all-time, and maybe it’s because Hot Toys already has the perfect tooling ready to make it. Regardless, the time has come far earlier than expected: the exclusive Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 43 die-cast figure is now up for order!

Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man Ultron Thanos Figures Announced!

Hot Toys Thanos Ultron Hulkbuster Iron Man Announced

A combination of being super-sick and super-busy has left me super-behind on covering the latest Marvel Hot Toys news from the past couple of days, but now it’s time to catch up on some of the biggest Hot Toys announcements in quite some time. While many toy and collectible companies are quieting down now and keeping their upcoming products under wraps until the New York Toy Fair 2015 in February, Hot Toys is closing out 2014 in a huge way–with the impending debuts of the heavily-demanded Hot Toys Ultron, Hot Toys Thanos and Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man sixth scale figures!

Hot Toys Hot Rod Iron Man Die-Cast Figure Up for Order!

Hot Rod Iron Man Die-Cast Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series Figure

Hot Toys has managed to take us totally off-guard with many surprise announcements over the course of this year. But their latest product reveal has been, well… not exactly a closely-guarded secret. Starting at San Diego Comic Con 2014 and continuing throughout the summer and fall, Hot Toys has been “sneakily” leaving an Iron Man 3 Hot Rod Iron Man Hot Toys figure in the display cases at most of the events that they’ve exhibited at. I guess there was always the slight possibility that this figure was just on display to taunt us with what we cannot have–but no more: The exclusive Hot Toys Hot Rod Iron Man Die-Cast figure is now up for order!

Kaiyodo Revoltech Iron Man Mark V Figure Reissue LR-024 2015

As such, Kaiyodo is now able to cruise along with their “greatest hits” Legacy of Revoltech figure reissues, bringing back some of the most-requested figures–including the ever-popular Iron Man Revoltech figures!
