When Diamond Select Toys announced their Marvel Select Avengers Infinity War lineup last winter, it sort of threw most collectors for a loop. Captain America, Thor and… Spider-Man? Would the Big Three be incomplete in MS figure form again? But hold the phone—turns out DST had a trump card hidden up their sleeve: the EXCLUSIVE Marvel Select Infinity War Iron Man figure is now up for order… and it’s shipping before any of their other figures from the movie!

For Hot Toys Marvel collectors, New York Comic Con 2018 was a pretty forgettable—if not disappointing—show. While the die-cast Neon Tech Iron Man (AKA Tron Iron Man) was available first to NYCC attendees, there were a whopping zero never-before-seen Movie Masterpiece Series 1/6 figures unveiled at the event. But one previously shown figure we weren’t entirely sure was going to get released did make a reappearance in New York City, and now he’s officially on the way: the Hot Toys Concept Art Iron Man Mark XLVI figure is now up for order!

UPDATE 9/26/2018: Just like fans never saw the twist coming with the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 (okay, I did, I admit), a lot of collectors never saw it coming when the Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 three-pack went straight from pre-order to out of stock last week and immediately spiked to 180+ bucks on the aftermarket. But fear not, Gwyneth Paltrow fans: the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Pepper Potts/Mandarin/Hot Rod Iron Man set is back up for order for MSRP while it lasts!

Avengers Infinity War was a wildly successful movie, so it’s no surprise that figures and merch of the most popular characters from the movie quickly sold out. And one of the fastest sell-outs was the Bandai SH Figuarts Infinity War Iron Man 6” figure. But this story has a happy ending for those who missed out—and those who didn’t may even be a little jealous—because a new S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark L Figure with Nano Weapons Set is now up for order in the US!

While it remains all quiet on the mass-release Hasbro toys front this week (don’t worry, I’ll start a new series of Legends reviews this week), we have gotten a couple of new items solicited this week—in the chibi style! Not only does Gentle Giant have their latest Skottie Young-styled Marvel Animated Statue up for order in Cyclops, but Good Smile Company has a rare MCU addition to their Nendoroid line: Infinity War Iron Man Mark 50!

The sheer volume and number of Hot Toys Iron Man sixth scale figures released has become a bit of a running jokes with Hot Toys collectors. At this point, I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many dozens have been released, or even how many of them I own (it’s a lot). But even so, there’s at least one Iron Man armor that collectors have been asking for an upgrade to nonstop for over half a decade. And now, they’re gonna get it: the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VII Diecast figure is now up for order!

With the huge announcement yesterday of Sideshow Collectibles becoming the official online and global distributor for Pop Culture Shock Collectible, Sideshow is slowly taking over the high-end statue world. And in the wake of that major acquisition, what better time for Sideshow to solicit the very first piece in a new ongoing series of Marvel statues? The Sideshow Exclusive Iron Man Extremis Mark II Statue is now up for order–the first piece in the all-new Adi Granov Series!

It may be time to start building an ark, because the Hasbro flood of new Marvel Legends figures this month doesn’t seem to be letting up! This time, it’s not another whole new series of figures, though—it’s just one three pack of upgrading figures many collectors may have missed! The 6” Marvel Legends Infinity War 3-Pack of Thanos (with new head!), Doctor Strange and Iron Man is now up for order!

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, repaints are a fact of collecting life. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to know that a repaint is in the works when an original statue is shown, and sometimes we’re not. Today’s item is unfortunately of the latter type, as it was recently announced… a year and a half after the original version. The Sideshow Avengers Assemble Stealth Iron Man Statue is now up for order, and is limited to just 500 pieces produced!

Believe it or not, despite the fact that Bandai Tamashii has released well over a dozen S.H. Figuarts Iron Man figures, they’ve never released the iconic Mark 7 armor from the first Avengers movie—at least, not until now! The SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark VII figure with Hall of Armor diorama is now up for order in the United States! And Bandai also has another beloved variant costume coming our way in a bit more wacky fashion—Black Ninja Spider-Man is on the way!

When it comes to the resin statue collecting world, the popular opinion of the masses is generally that bigger is better. But one company who’s defying that mentality is Iron Studios, who introduced their popular 1:10 scale Battle Diorama Series last year. I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw the MCU BDS statues in person, but I’ve never written a review for one… until now. The Iron Studios Spider-Man Homecoming Iron Man Statue is now starting to ship—is this low-priced piece worth your cash?

When the Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man from Avengers Age of Ultron finally shipped after a wait of over two years, collectors who got one were pretty breathless about how spectacular it was. But not every collector that wanted one pre-ordered years earlier, nor could they afford the $1K+ aftermarket prices. But fear not, Hot Toys hasn’t forsaken you: the 20” Hot Toys Infinity War Hulkbuster Iron Man figure is now up for order! He’s less articulated than his predecessor—but also half the price!

As a huge fan of reasonably-priced statues that don’t have a humongous spatial footprint, Christmas comes at least once a month for me when Diamond Select Toys announces new Marvel Gallery PVC statues. And this month, DST has a trifecta of new pieces for our perusal: the Marvel Gallery Venom, Infinity War Iron Man, and movie Black Panther statues are now up for order!

For those who collect Iron Man figures and statues, repaints are a fact of life. And when it comes to classic comic book Iron Man repaints, there’s no armor out there that’s been more prevalent for repaints than the blueberry-flavored Stealth Iron Man. So when Mezco Toyz premiered they’re ONE:12 Collective Iron Man last year, it was a foregone conclusion we’d see a blue repaint. And that inevitability has now occurred: the ONE:12 Collective Exclusive Stealth Iron Man figure is now up for order!
