Iron Man 3 Marvel Select War Machine 2.0 Figure Released & Photos!

War Machine Iron Man 3 Marvel Select Figure Packaged

It’s a funny thing going to your local comic book store to take photos of an action figure that you know you’re not going to buy there, but that’s just what I did today. See, I don’t like the above-suggested retail prices at my comic shop, so I don’t typically buy figures from them. But today a figure I’ve been waiting months to see in person was finally arriving, so I had to drop by to get impressions and take some in-person photos of the Iron Man 3 Marvel Select War Machine 2.0 figure…

Iron Man 3 Marvel Select Iron Man Mark 42 Action Figure Released!

Marvel Select Iron Man Mark XLII Figure Packaged

I did a little bit of a double take when I saw this week’s Diamond Comics Distribution shipping list, as it confirmed that a figure that’s been delayed a handful of times was finally on its way to collectors’ hands this Wednesday. Though the Iron Man 3 movie was released in theaters close to two months ago now, the Marvel Select Iron Man 3 figures have been lagging behind a bit.

But hungry Iron Man fans don’t have to wait any longer–the Marvel Select Iron Man Mark XLII figure was finally released in stores today!

Funko SDCC 2013 Exclusives Marvel POP Vinyls Unmasked Iron Patriot James Rhodes

Earlier this month, I posted an article about the surprise reveal of a Marvel Funko POP! Tony Stark vinyl figure being released as an exclusive at the Philippine Toy Con 2013, as well as at SDCC 2013. At that time, I speculated that Tony’s longtime comrade James Rhodes would probably be joining Tony as a San Diego Comic Con 2013 exclusive. Well, Toy Con has come and gone, and now that in-hand photos of the Marvel POP! Vinyl Tony Stark’s box exist, I can confirm that a Funko Iron Patriot Unmasked James Rhodes Vinyl will in fact be flying in for SDCC 2013 next month…

Another day, another San Diego Comic-Con 2013 exclusive announced! Marvel Funko POP!

Funko Iron Man 3 POP! Vinyls Figures Released

Iron Man 3 Funko POP Vinyl Deep Space Suit Iron Man Gemini Armor

I’ll be honest: I may genuinely own more vinyl collectible figures than I do action figures. See, I went through a phase where I bought hundreds (and I mean hundreds) of Disney Vinylmation vinyl figures each year. So, generally, I’m pretty aware of what’s going on in the vinyl collecting world. That’s why I was so surprised when I turned the corner at my local comic book store yesterday and came face-to-face with a display of figures I didn’t even know had been released: the Funko Iron Man 3 POP! Vinyls figure line…
