Hot Toys Announces Avengers: Age of Ultron Mark I

We first saw the Ultron Mark I figure when Hot Toys teased us with a pic from their tour in Asia showing the evolution of Ultron near the start of the month. Now, with Avengers: Age of Ultron opening this weekend internationally, they’ve released the details for their latest version of Ultron, which happens to be Tony Stark’s first step in creating the misguided artificial intelligence.

The Mark I is packed with a crazy amount of detail revealed by the battle damage it suffered at the hands of some as of yet unknown Avengers enemy, but that doesn’t stop it from coming with working LEDs in all the places you’d expect (eyes, mouth, and ARC reactor). One of the accessories that comes with the figure gives another clue as to how Ultron comes into being – if you’ve watched any of the trailers it’s all pretty much laid out, but if not, don’t read the attached description too closely.

I’ll be checking Sideshow Collectibles for the incoming pre-order.

Star Wars Celebration 2015 (and WebSwipe): Sideshow Collectibles Booth Pics

With all the excitement over Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, it’s tough to be sitting at home instead of being on the floor at Star Wars Celebration. Luckily, Sideshow Collectibles has posted shots of their booth in the Anaheim Convention Center.

We’ve swiped a few of them for you here, including some life-size stuff, statues, and some of the McQuarrie concept and new 1/6 scale figures, but there’s a whole lot more in Sideshow Star Wars Celebration 2015 Booth Tour. Enjoy!

New Hot Toys and LEGO for Star Wars Celebration [Updated]

Star Wars Celebration starts today, and while we can’t be there, we’ll do our best to follow the announcements. After all, with Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens coming this year, this promises to be one of the biggest Celebrations yet. All the collectibles companies will be there in force (awful pun intended).

Hot Toys even has a new Stormtrooper created exclusively for Star Wars Celebration. The Spacetrooper was featured in Episode IV – you’ll see them, with their special zero-gravity and rebreather gear, when the Millenium Falcon is dragged into the hangar of the Death Star (“That’s no moon…”) You can pre-order the Spacetrooper Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys at Sideshow Collectibles.

LEGO revealed large scale buildable figures at Toy Fair this year, and they’ll have four new figures joining the first two, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, at Star Wars Celebration. They’ve sent us pictures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous, and we’ll try to hunt down pics of Jango Fett and Commander Coby. These will be available at shop.lego.com and brick and mortar stores in September. [Update: LEGO has sent us pics of a new Tatooine mini-build set.]

Hot Toys Announces Avengers: Age of Ultron War Machine Mark II

Iron Patriot gets a makeover, reclaims the War Machine name

I’ll be surprised if Rhodey gets a lot of screen time armored up as War Machine in Avengers: Age of Ultron. It hasn’t been featured in any of the big action sequences revealed thus far. Despite this, Hot Toys is jumping on the opportunity to make another exclusive Iron Man armor. They can do this because War Machine Mark II looks like it’s a repaint of the Iron Patriot diecast figure from Iron Man 3.

If you’re disappointed Rhodey’s armor didn’t get an upgrade, get ready for a little more. Marvel Studios originally had the War Machine repaint ready to go for IM3, but it ended up on the cutting room floor. So if War Machine has more than a brief cameo in AOU, then they really cheaped out on him. How do I know this? Hasbro had a Marvel Legends War Machine Mark II ready to go to support the Iron Man threequel a couple of years ago. (It hasn’t made it to shelves yet.)

No pre-order up yet, but I’ll be checking Sideshow for War Machine later today. For reference, the Hot Toys Iron Patriot was $309.99 when it was first sold – that figure is waitlisted now.
