Hot Toys Battle Damaged Iron Man Mark III Pics

I have been lamenting not picking up the original Mark III Iron Man from Hot Toys – I’m really a cheap bastard when it comes to what I’ll spend on toys, and there’s still a lot of adjusting I need to do to get accustomed to high-end 1/6 scale figures. And because of that, I can’t bring myself to pay even more on the aftermarket.

I thought I would have to wait until Hot Toys released a something for the Iron Man 2 movie sequel (I have heard there’s not a lot of differences in the armor design), but it looks like I’ll get my chance with this battle damaged version. It has even more features than the original, so if you’re ok with some minor scuffing on various parts of the body you can still have an almost good as new Iron Man with the non-damaged head and chest piece.

Folks who picked up the original, don’t despair – you got the non-helmeted Tony Stark head, and I’ve seen that go for almost as much as the original figure on Ebay!

Paper or Plastic? Definitely Paper

As action figure collectors, we’re into small, plastic playthings – but for a lot of collectors I know, the love of toys began with a love of the characters. So when I came across the My Paper Heroes site, I was instantly taken in – here’s a collector who has created Marvel characters using color printouts and tape! The initial set of figures are mostly X-Men-related, and luckily for me these are some of my favorite characters.

The coolest thing about it is that the site also provides PDF downloads for each of the designs so you can make your own paper heroes. I can’t wait to give it a shot.
