Hot Toys Reveals Iron Man Mark XXXIII Silver Centurion

The design team for Iron Man 2 had given the nod to the Silver Centurion armor with the Mark V Suitcase Armor, with its red and silver color scheme. But Iron Man 3 went all the way, modeling the Mark XXXIII directly off of the Silver Centurion armor from the comics. It’s still got the distinctive look of the movie armors, but with the coloring, the triangular arc reactor, and flared shoulders, it’s the one that most closely resembles the comic look. I don’t remember Stark in the armor, but I’ll take Hot Toys’ word for it and watch that fight sequence more closely when I see Iron Man 3 again. I’m not sure if the blades are from the comics, took inspiration from Wolverine (are you seeing that movie this weekend?) or just invented for the purposes of hacking limbs off of enemies for the movie.

Look to the usual suspects for pre-orders, but I would bet that Sideshow will have an exclusive version that includes that extra battle-damaged helmet.

Hot Toys Unveils Iron Man 3 Silver Centurion

When I’m at an event like San Diego Comic-Con or Toy Fair and taking pictures to post, a lot of times I don’t even have time to think about what I’m shooting. For example, I have been anticipating the arrival of the Silver Centurion armor from Iron Man 3 with all of the previous Hot Toys Iron Man 3 releases from the massive army of Iron Men scene from the movie.

And there it is, in my shots of the Hot Toys figures at Sideshow’s SDCC booth. But of course, while shooting that I was thinking about all of the preview teasers Hot Toys had leading up to the show, and didn’t even notice the Silver Centurion until seeing this news.

SDCC 2013: Interview with Hasbro’s Marvel Team

Sandman and I met with Adam Biehl (Vice President, Global Marvel Line at Hasbro) and Dwight Stall (Senior Marvel Product Design Manager, Hasbro) today for a brief conversation about Marvel Legends and the related 6-inch Marvel action figure lines. We talked about the health and direction of the Marvel lines, issues with distribution and the fate of running change variants, and more.

This was a great lead-in to the Hasbro Marvel panel, which we will be posting in full later this morning.

SDCC 2013: Hot Toys at the Sideshow Collectibles Booth

I had been wanting to get to the Sideshow booth to check out the Hot Toys displays – it’s always one of the highlights of SDCC for me. I got my chance yesterday afternoon – and would have had an Instapics post up sooner, if it wasn’t for the massive congestion in the cellular network. All afternoon, a lot of folks in the San Diego Convention Center were having trouble making calls and sending texts, not to mention uploading pictures to the AFPRon Instagram account. 😀

Despite frustrations trying to keep connected, the Hot Toys showing did not disappoint. As you might expect, there was a ton of Avengers and Iron Man figures on display, but when you add in Robocop, G.I. JOE, Lone Ranger, and the growing DC licenses, there was something good for everybody.
