Iron Man Movie Hall of Armors Infographic and Hot Toys Poll

Iron Man Infographic 1 Iron Man Infographic 2 Iron Man Infographic 3 Iron Man Infographic 4 Iron Man Infographic 5

We found this great infographic in our inbox about the Iron Man armors portrayed in the three Iron Man movies and the Avengers. It shows enough factoids about each to perhaps extend the Trivial Pursuit line to include an Iron Man edition. Oddly, the Mark 42 is notably absent from the list. The Iron Man infographic is from Costume Discounters, of all places. I guess they would like to do a brisk business in Iron Man and other super hero costumes, and I wish them the best of luck.

The last portion of the infographic shows the new Iron Man 3 armors revealed before the movie opened (minus the Mark 42 of course). And we know Hot Toys is working off this list, since they’ve already announced the Iron Patriot, War Machine, Red Snapper, Heart Breaker and Igor as upcoming releases.

It got me thinking, which of the three remaining armors will they make next? But more importantly, which do you want next?

I think I already know, but let’s see what you guys have to say. Of course, there’s a ton more armors featured in the movie (spoiler, if you somehow managed to miss all of the Iron Man previews they showed in the last few months), so this list will probably grow even longer – anyone know a site that lists them all?

Save $5 on Hasbro Iron Man Figures at Amazon.com

When I ordered Iron Man Legends Wave 2 at Amazon last week (sorry, sold out for now), I was wondering what the promotion was that gave me a $5 discount – turns out that Amazon is running a Spend $25 and Save $5 deal just for Hasbro Iron Man toys. A lot of the Iron Man 3 prize pack that we had up as a Free Stuff Giveaway last week is up there, like the Marvel Iron Man 3 Motorized Arc FX Gauntlet and the Marvel Iron Man 3 ARC FX Mission Mask, and there’s also a bunch of figures for sale. Probably of most interest is Iron Man Legends wave 1, if you are still looking for those. They’ve got all three figures, including the shortpack:

You’ve got to spend $25 for the promo to kick in, but if you’re buying a couple of figures, you’ll trigger that plus the free shipping. And if you are desperately looking for to complete the Iron Monger BAF, BigBadToyStore has Iron Man Legends Wave 2 cases in stock for you to split with your friends. The sets of three they had available sold out over the weekend. Happy shopping!

C2E2 2013 Photo Report

Once again this year I made the trek to the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo in Chicago, Illinois. Below is a sampling of the cool and not so cool stuff that can be found there.  Some of the highlights were the new area just for indie artists called “The Block”, and the awesome display of graded vintage Star Wars toys at the “Vintage Toys & Pop Culture Auction.”

ThreeA Toys Official Teaser for Invincible Iron Man, Marvel Series One Release One

3A Toys Invincible Iron Man TeaserWe got our first look at 3A Toys’ Invincible Iron Man prototype over the weekend thanks to kadoo on the 3A Forums, who spotted the teaser poster at a convention in Asia. With the cat out of the bag, 3A posted the official teaser image on the 3A Blog last night. (Click the image for the full size view.)

Based on my first viewing I thought that this was still in its early stages, because the image notes that it’s not final, plus I didn’t see any articulation in the elbows (the knees are in the shadows). But Ashley Wood confirmed that the figure is already fully articulated – but that the joints won’t be visible. Some folks are wondering if that means that joints like the elbows and knees will have rubber sheaths to hide them – I think that’s likely the only way those types of joints could be hidden. Other points of articulation, like shoulders, hips, and torso, will probably take advantage of the design and sculpt to obscure them.

One other detail – the figure will clock in at around 13 inches tall.

Cinco de Mayo Can’t Stop Star Wars Day – May the Fourth Be on Your TV at Woot.com

May the 4th Be on Your TV (Woot)

What? You thought Star Wars Day was over?!

You might have missed out on the extra special deals at Amazon for Star Wars Blu-rays and DVDs (Star Wars stuff is still on sale at Amazon, just not as much as yesterday) – if so, Woot has got deals on Star Wars Blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs of the original soundtracks for the movies. They also include a couple seasons of The Clone Wars as part of this deal, which goes until May 9. That’s just two days shy of making it Star Wars Week.

Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday commemorating the ideals of freedom and democracy – you know Obi Wan would have celebrated this holiday, if not cut down by his former apprentice (spoiler!)
