Art Asylum has posted some in progress pics of the Marvel Select War Machine from the Iron Man 2 movie. They snuck in a pic of the War Machine Minimate too. 😀
I think the Don Cheadle likeness is spot on, and the armor looks great. I may have to pick this and Iron Man up – they’re due out March 3.
Marvel Select Iron Man 2 War Machine Figure In progress shots for your enjoyment
I promised you a break from all the Mattel goodness that’s going on right now. You may recall that a couple of weeks ago test shots for the 6-inch versions of Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man were on auction on eBay. Turns out that Fwoosher worldwar_hulk won a set of these test shots, and has sent along a huge number of pics. You may notice a Marvel Legends 2-pack Iron Man in one of the group shots – you can see more of that gold Iron Man repaint in worldwar_hulk’s Fwoosh customs thread.
We first saw these figures as images as part of Hasbro’s Marvel presentation at Toy Fair last year, and were crushed when Hasbro pulled them from their display booth prior to the start of San Diego Comic-Con last July. I am hopeful that since these have had tools made, we’ll eventually get them on our shelves.

I am late to the game seeing these two auctions for Iron Man action figure test shots, because they end in a few hours today. But they appear to be for the 6-inch Marvel Legends or Iron Man lines.
2010 IRON MAN PROTOTYPE NEW AND VERY RARE – Crimson Dynamo? – ends Dec 11, 2009 18:43:01 PST

The talk of Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man in plastic form started at Toy Fair this year, where Hasbro announced the two for its ongoing 6-inch Iron Man line. At San Diego Comic-Con, painted prototypes for the two were in the display case but removed just prior to the start of the show. When asked, Hasbro’s Marvel team said they didn’t want to show figures that might not make it to retail – the problem was that the retail channel was still full of previous series of Iron Man figures.
While Hasbro has committed to 3.75-inch scale for the Iron Man 2 movie, they did state in a recent Q&A that they were still hoping to bring out these two figures in 6-inch scale.
I don’t know if this is what Hot Toys was talking about announcing on their Facebook page today, because from the tease I thought it would be an Iron Man 2 item. But who really cares? This new Tony Stark figure that was posted on the Sideshow Toys forum is really freaking cool.
Update – Hot Toys is also running a contest for an undisclosed prize. All you have to do is list your top 3 Hot Toys products on their Facebook discussion before Tuesday 12/8 to be eligible. Good luck!

Not sure if this is just coincidence or conspiracy, but both Hot Toys and Diamond Select Toys had teasers for Iron Man 2 today. First, Hot Toys teased an IM2 announcement coming tomorrow with two posters from the movie. I’d love to have the kind of cash to be a completist on their Iron Man 1/6 scale figures. As it is, I’m getting the upcoming battle-damaged Mark III armor from the first movie and will probably be satisfied with that – but if they announce a War Machine I’m sunk.
Next, DST showed off Marvel Minimates Series 35 – an Iron Man 2 assortment – but still had three of the 7 Minimates in silhouette. One of them is War Machine, another is another Iron Man armor – Mark VI? – and the last is an army builder, so I’m guessing it’s not a ScarJo Black Widow. If it is, that silhouette isn’t very flattering. 😉
