The armor that I've been waiting for. The Iron Man 3 - 1/6th Scale Mark XLII Movie Masterpiece from Hot Toys has been announced via their official Facebook page and website. This is a follow up to their 1/6th Scale Iron Patriot of the same product line.
Yeah, they've introduced the Iron Man 3 - 1/6th Scale Mark XLII Poser Pose earlier but that one is a fixed posed collectible which isn't what I like about Hot Toys. This new one is under the Movie Master Piece Diecast series and is fully articulated. But just as the Power Pose version, it totally resembles the how the armor looks like in the Iron Man 3 promo pictures, posters and trailers. It even comes with battle damaged swap-able parts and bruised Robert Downey Jr. face. Just thinking how it'll look next to the Iron Patriot gets me really excited.
"Leading the MMS Diecast Series is the iconic Iron Man 3 Series, in which the collectible figures are made of diecast material, specially designed to look more closely to the realistic Iron Man characters in the movie. The MMS Diecast Series will bring fans to the next level of authenticity, focusing on the materials, fine details and engineering of the Iron Man collectible figures, while some of the parts can be shared between our MMS and Diorama Series for displaying together in 1/6th scale. More collectibles from Iron Man 3 will be coming from the MMS Diecast Series!"I'm not sure what that "diecast material" really is, and how it differs from the earlier Iron Man armor releases. Well, anyway, what's more interesting is that it says "More collectibles from Iron Man 3 will be coming from the MMS Diecast Series". Which means we will see more armors from Iron Man 3 under Hot Toys MMS Diecast product line which directly translates to tearing apart my wallet and bank accounts. I'd better start saving money now.
To be released on 1st quarter of 2014 for 35,000 yen (whew! good thing that it is not being released on the same quarter as Iron Patriot). Preorders are now up at Animarket and Figmation. Just as the Iron Patriot, I preordered mine at Figmation as well. That price offer really made my day.
