Play Imaginative Super Alloy 1/12 Scale Iron Man 2 Hammer Drones Set Available to Pre-Order

YesAnime, Play Imaginative’s distributor in the United States, has the 1/12 scale Super Alloy Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2 up for pre-order now. I was wondering if they’d be available individually – at least for the exclusive versions, no. They’ll come in a set of four for $419.99. The exclusive version will have additional weathering paint apps. I suppose if you wanted them in pristine shape, you’d have to get them directly from Justin Hammer.

If you pre-order now, when they ship in April next year, you’ll also get four of the “bully” devices that appeared in Iron Man 3 with the Mark 42 armor. These light capsules will be in 1:1 scale (pretend you’re Tony Stark!) and will have flaps that open to reveal LED lights that work as if they were activated. That’s a pretty cool incentive.

I was pretty impressed when I saw the Hammer Drones and the rest of the 1/12 scale Super Alloy Iron Man figures at NYCC. I just wish one of these lottery tickets would pay off, so I could afford to army build these babies!

Weekend Toy Run: Free LEGO Superheroes at Toys R Us (In Stores Only) 10/19

So I may not be buying a Legendary Scale Doctor Doom from Sideshow, but a LEGO Doctor Doom minifigure might fit in the budget. This Saturday in Toys R Us stores would make sense. From Noon to 2PM on 10/19 (that’s tomorrow), Toys R Us is holding a special in-store promotion – build a LEGO Joker mini-mech-bot and take it home for free. And there’s more – if you buy over $20 worth of qualifying LEGO Batman, you can get Robin and his Redbird cycle, also for free. Same goes with $20 or more of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – you get a free Iron Man.

As you can imagine, supplies will be limited, so get there early and build away! Happy shopping!

NYCC 2013: Kotobukiya Statues

The show’s over, but I’ll have more NYCC galleries over the next couple days.

Kotobukiya is not my typical fare – no budget or space for them – but they produce some of the most beautiful statues from across pop culture domains. They’ve got licenses for movies, video games, comics, and more.

NYCC 2013: Play Imaginative Super Alloy Iron Man Quarter Scale House Party

While Play Imaginative didn’t show quite as many quarter scale Super Alloy Iron Man figures as they did in 1/12 scale, they still have enough in the works to rival the impressive showing that Hot Toys has in 1/6. If you consider that these are upwards of 80% diecast parts, then there’s really no comparison, since Hot Toys only just started producing figures in diecast.

I think the competition will be good for us as collectors – but for now in the United States, the licenses don’t overlap. If you want high-end 1/12 or 1/4 scale figures, it’s Play Imaginative. If you want 1/6, then it’s Hot Toys.

Weekend Toy Run: Marvel Universe Iron Man 3 Hall of Armor 6-Pack

Amidst all this diecast Iron Man goodness from Play Imaginative, let’s not forget that there’s already a line of Iron Man action figures that could satisfy your urge to build a hall of armor. Sure, the Marvel Universe figures from Hasbro are all plastic, not diecast, but that combined with their smaller size means they’re a lot easier on the wallet, too.

However, this six-pack of figures has been selling in the neighborhood of $100 on the secondary market – while 4 of the figures are repacks with the ARC Reactor glow, the Mark 42 and the Tony Stark figures are exclusive to the set. And the only other way to get a Mark 42 in this scale is via the Assemblers line, which is not as articulated. Luckily, the set is now more abundant, and Amazon has it on sale.

Iron Man 3 Marvel Hall of Armor Collection Action Figure – $34.96 (normally $39.99)

Note: Just saw that Wal-Mart has the Iron Man 3 Hall of Armor for the same price, but you have to get to $50 to get free shipping.
