I’m trying not to get too hyped for Iron Man 2 this summer, so I won’t be digging too deep on this reveal of five new non-Iron Man armors. And who ever thought we’d be getting Minimates of Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan? And is Happy holding a briefcase containing the Iron Man armor? I wonder if that thing opens up. Too cool.
Iron Man 2 Minimates – The Reveal!
Fans all over the world are gearing up for Marvel Studios’ next sure-fire blockbuster Iron Man 2 and at Diamond Select Toys we are excited to reveal details surrounding our previously Top Secret Iron Man 2 Minimates! Due in stores this March, two new assortments of Minimates are sure to thrill fans of all ages!
While one particular high-flying armor-clad character will remain hidden until the March release date, we can now reveal the full contents of our upcoming Marvel Minimates Series 35 Assortment and Iron Man 2 Single Pack Minimates Display. Rounding out the cast of Series 35 is the high-tech army builder paired with Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan – Hammer Industries’ Hammer Drone! Glimpsed only briefly in the Iron Man 2 trailer, not much is known about the Hammer Drones – except that Iron Man and War Machine will apparently square off against an entire squad of them at some point during the film.
The biggest reveal comes in the form of our Iron Man 2 Single Pack Minimates Display, a special set of individually boxed Iron Man 2 Minimates limited to only 500 cases. This set was under complete lockdown, however now we can reveal the full contents!
Each display will include 12 individually packaged Iron Man 2 Minimates, including:
Air Assault Drone
Ground Assault Drone
Sea Assault Drone
Tactical Assault Drone
Plus limited short-packs found in every case featuring:
Battle Damaged Hammer Drone
Justin Hammer
Styled after the four branches of the US Military, exact how these high-powered armors will come to exist and what their creation means for Iron Man remains to be seen – but we can’t wait to find out! Retailers can still order this limited set as part of their January 2010 Previews orders, so if you want these Iron Man 2 exclusives to become a part of your collection make sure you let them know before it’s too late!
Mattel has posted packaged pics of the Masters of the Universe Classics Evil-Lyn. The crystal ball can serve as the top to both her staff and wand.
Personally, I liked her redesign from the 200X line, and hope that we see a re-release down the line.

SOTA will be giving you a shot at a one-of-a-kind collectible at the same time you’ll be helping the Haitian earthquake victims.
In lieu [sic] of the terrible events in Haiti, SOTA Toys has decided to auction a ONE-OFF “Lightning Blanka” prototype on eBay, with profits donated to the relief effort. This piece was made during the production of our regular Blanka statue, and is the only one of its kind in existence; a true collector’s piece. The auction will begin on Feb 1st, 2010. Stay tuned to our website for more information, or check back here!
