Awesome Iron Man

Even Tony Stark would be impressed with Hot Toys’ rendition of War Machine; the 1:6 scale Iron Man figure features two portraits and articulating fingers, gatling gun, and waist plates.

Available 5/4/10: whether you’re a fan of its formulaic first season or story-arc style second season, get all 26 episodes of 1994’s Iron Man Animated Series; it ships as a 3-disc DVD set.

It’s not quite as cool as the suit itself, but the Iron Man FX Arc Reactor is arguably its most coveted part: the full-sized movie replica lights up and is removable from its base.

The second Iron Man 2 trailer is up and runs over 2 minutes; no surprises here in terms of awesomeness (it is), but we’ll be “brief” and say that it’s worth watching all the way to the end.

Iron Man’s better-armed half wears monochrome well in this slick 13″ War Machine Armor Statue; it packs a wrist-mounted cannon and shoulder-mounted plasma and gatling guns.

Hot Toys goes all out with this stunning 12″ Iron Man Mark III; made with over 300 pieces, it includes light-up eyes/ARC reactor, 7 pairs of hands, 2 chest plates, 2 helmets, and more.

Get a sneak peek at Iron Man 2 courtesy Minimates’ lineup above; included are Assault Drones (one for each branch of the US military), Justin Hammer, the Hammer Drone, and War Machine.

It’s still a work in progress, but Anthony Le’s War Machine looks ready for Iron Man 2; it’s made with urethane and features a minigun and light-up eyes, arc reactor and gauntlets.

Shunichi Makin’s been busy ever since his mini-HAL 9000; he’s created not one but three super-deformed versions of Iron Man in papercraft, each with 3-4 printable PDF files.

We’re fans of the fully-suited Iron Man collectibles, but we like how this Mech Test Tony Stark figure bares it all; Robert Downey, Jr. floats 12″ tall alongside a platform and robotic arm.

Designed to go head to head with an out-of-control Hulk, this 1:6 polystone Hulkbuster Iron Man is sold out in the prop-open helmet version, but still available for preorder as a regular edition.

Short of flying, this 12″ Battle Damaged Iron Man is almost the real thing with 36 points of articulation, realistic scratches and dings, working forearm rocket, air flaps and lighting effects.

Preordering begins May 21st for this Comic-Con 2009 exclusive Iron Man Mark III; it’s a 12″ figure in gunmetal grey; it sports distressed armor, two heads and three sets of hands.

Iron Man vs. Bruce Lee is an odd smackdown, but we’re still glad Patrick Bolvin created this awesome stop-motion video; a mystery third (and fourth) party is revealed at the end.

Now available for preorder: Iron Man Mark II is the unpainted, pure metallic version of Tony Stark’s vigilante alter ego and boy does it look hot. And yes, it comes with the repulsor hand.

Hot Toys’ Iron Man Mark III reads like an ultimate action figure wishlist: 36 articulation points, sleek metallic paint, and 3 swappable hands. Sweet: the eyes, heart and repulsor hand light up.
