Hot Toys Iron Monger Will Crush Your Head

Hot Toys Iron Monger (1 of 8)

You don’t think I post Steals and Deals here but don’t partake, do you? When the 25% off plus free shipping deal at the Marvel Store was here last weekend, I picked up an Iron Monger. I had it on pre-order a while back, but had second thoughts, primarily about the price. But this sale tested my willpower, and I’m sad to say I’ll never become a Green Lantern. But frankly, I don’t care, because the Hot Toys Iron Monger was a steal at 25% off, and if you pay full price it’s worth every penny.

ThreeA Toys to Collaborate with Marvel Comics on Re-Imagined 1/6 Scale Action Figure Line

3A Toys Marvel Collaboration

3A Toys is making Marvel Comics 1/6 scale action figures? For me, it’s a dream and a nightmare. I can’t wait to see what Ashley Wood comes up with for his re-imagined versions of Marvel heroes and villains, but I also pity my wallet and my ability to delay gratification. I hope 3A doesn’t stray too far from the classic looks of its characters. They’re a natural for any armored or mech characters (but really, how many 1/6 collectors already have a ton of Iron Man figures?) but I’d want to see how they can handle clothing apps for spandex – not quite the same thing as boiler suits and cargo pants.

One thing that could get me feeling lukewarm on these is if 3A uses its very unique style for its human head sculpts. Right now I can’t see that meshing too well with Marvel. Still – can’t wait to see some of these come to life!

ThreeA Toys World War Robot JEA Meat is Murder Super Set on Sale Today 2/21 at 8PM EST

I’m kind of glad I got into the 1/6 scale with 3A Toys kind of late. I don’t have any of the bots in the scale (although I have gone a little crazy in the 1/12 Portable scale) and I think my wife would pull a little Meat is Murder on me if I started now. I just spent a hefty chunk of change on the AP Ten Finger Gang (which oddly has 11 figures) and the AP Tomorrow Queen sets, as well as an unexpected WWRp Medic Grunt and Square.

For the timezone challenged, the WWR JEA Meat is Murder set goes on sale today at 8PM EST on bambalandstore.com. Semper Fi, JEA Marines!

3A Toys WWR Meat is Murder Super Set

Now on to Meat is Murder (JEA ASSAULT CREW), which will go up for pre-order on February 22nd 9:00AM Hong Kong time at Bambalandstore. It’s biggest WWR set yet and it’s going to cost: 530 USD shipped worldwide. It’s surely ain’t cheap, but that’s the best we can do for such a massive set. It was coming for pre-order a long time (with first photo teased on June 1st 2011) , it’s an insane & crazy set, which will probably only us will do, as it includes FIVE 1/6th scale figures: Dropcloth, Grunt, MK1 & MK2 Squares and Armstrong.
