Following the already popular Iron Man Mark III ArtFX statue from Kotobukiya two years ago, Koto is back at it again with a new upgraded version of their hit statue for the release of Iron Man 2 this year (wow, it feels weird to say this year all of a sudden…). This time around, we get a cool new statue of the Mark IV suit from the sequel. It is true that there isn’t much difference between the Mark III and the Mark IV, but its the small attention to detail that makes all the difference. The Mark IV is definitely more sleeker than its predecessor and less of the internal mechanism is exposed. Also, unlike the original which featured a less than spectacular arm down pose, the new statue features Iron Man with his hand up ready to shoot his repulsor blast. The biggest change is definitely the cool new base. Unlike the original which has a plain grey base with the logo, the new base is a bit more themed in which it was made to look like the arc reactor. Whether collector’s will buy the new Mark IV statue is up in the air, but it is definitely cool to own. Personally, I would love to pass on more of these Iron Man statues, but I will most likely regret it down the line.

Yeah, I know. This little bad ass Iron Man 2 poster dropped last week, but I can’t help but cover EVERYTHING and anything related to Jon Faverau’s upcoming Iron Man sequel. Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash gets the Iron Man 2 poster treatment this time around. It is hard to say whether I like the Whiplash character cause I am basing my opinion based on the small tidbits that I saw in the trailer. Whiplash gets his hands on the mini-arc reactor technology that Tony Stark utilizes to power his Iron Man suit and creates….. electric whips. Right… Either way, I trust Jon Faverau’s ability to tell stories and develop characters so I am pretty sure Whiplash will turn out to be a hard ass. Enjoy!
The sculptors at Hong Kong collectibles designer/producers, Hot Toys must have stood at a cross road and made a deal with the devil cause their uncanny ability to design and sculpt faces to be as realistic as the celebrity is insane! With the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie, Hot Toys is following up their hugely popular Iron Man Movie Masterpiece collection with a Tony Stark flight mechanics test version 12 inch action figure. This is the first Iron Man figure from Hot Toys that isn’t just a suit and actually features a human face.
This cool figure includes a ton of bell and whistles such as:
- Newly sculpted head (sculpted by Kojun) with authentic and detailed fully realized likeness of Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark in the movie IRON MAN.
- ABS material TrueType body with newly designed chest, forearms and forelegs
- 34 points of articulations.
- Two pairs of interchangeable hand palms.
- LED-lighted heart device, hand gauntlet and boots (battery operated, batteries included).
- Real-like mechanically wired hand gauntlet and boots
Detailed Accessories:
- Articulated mechanical robot with 360° rotated base and fire extinguisher as accident detector.
- Belt with one large and one small bag.
- A pair of knee pads.
- A pair of real-like leather shoes.
Value-added Equipment:
- 6” X 6” black-color square-shape figure stage.
- Cardboard backdrop imitating Tony Stark workshop setting where he practiced flight in the film.
This snazzy Tony Stark figure is going to drop around March 2010 and most likely will be available exclusively through Sideshow Collectibles. I’m planning to set this figure up w/ Tony smashing into the wall like it the movie. LMAO!

What the heck!? Halloween is still over two weeks away and Christmas seasonal knick-knacks are already hitting the web! Apparently, Marvel and Kurt S. Adler (KSA is a company that specializes in licensed seasonal ornaments and goods) will be releasing an Iron Man nutcracker. Yes I said nutcracker. Modeled after the Iron Man Mark III suit from the live action movie, the Iron Man nutcracker is made of wood (just like every other nutcracker), stands about 11 inches, and stands on a themed base. Unfortunately, the only action feature that this Iron Man will have is the ability to crack a walnut with it’s mouth (I don’t remember Iron Man having a mouth, but whatever. Its Christmas!) I just wish that the nutcracker came with a working arc-reactor so I can toast the nuts as well. It think Iron Man nutcracker (as silly as it is) will be making my holiday wish list.

Where to Buy: Order Iron Man 11-Inch Nutcracker from Entertainment Earth!
A “cool exec with a heart of steel,” Tony Stark is the invincible Iron Man…
Why settle for a pint sized action figure when you can own a full scale statue of Iron Man? The nutty sculptors at Studio OxMox designed and produced a 1:1 scale limited edition statue of the Mark III suit from the first Iron Man movie.
The statue stands at a staggering 188cm (approximately 6.168 feet) and on top of that, the statue stands on a themed base that measure at an additional 35cm (1.148 feet). The statue is made of fiberglass and due to the sheer size of the piece it has to be shipped in 3 separate boxes.
If you were ever planning on owning a collectible that will be the center of attention, this is it. However, it will set you back a little under $2000 bucks. I just wished it actually had a working repulsor ray that can blast any cheap ass relative that is planning to send me socks for Christmas. Pew pew pew! Hit the jump to see the full picture!
