… Make that Five Reasons

Hot Toys SDCC Preview - Iron Man Gemini

No sooner had I posted the Hot Toys SDCC teasers I saw earlier this weekend, all to be shown in their full glory at the Sideshow booth at SDCC, did they add another teaser to the list. It’s the Iron Man Mark 39 “Gemini” Space Suit from Iron Man 3. This was one of the armors that had been teased by the movie folks in the hype machine leading up to the IM3 opening.

With the Gemini reveal, I believe that leaves only the Silver Centurion armor as the one remaining armor heavily featured in Iron Man 3 that Hot Toys hasn’t yet shown. It’s got to be just a matter of time.

Hot Toys Has Four More Reasons to Visit Sideshow at SDCC

I already love spending time at the Sideshow Collectibles booth at San Diego Comic-Con – it’s massive and chock full of 1/6 scale goodness. And even though it’s just a couple days away, Hot Toys is still driving up the pre-show hype with previews of some figures that will debut at the big show at Sideshow. We saw the Hot Toys Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile last year, and finally we’ll have an Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin to go with it.

Hot Toys teased the Iron Man Heartbreaker armor previously, but it’ll be nice to see it (and a ton of other Iron Men, I am sure) up close. And I had no idea they were doing Lone Ranger figure(s) – Johnny Depp’s Tonto is up first, and I can’t imagine that Armie Hammer’s Lone Ranger will follow soon.

Diamond Select Toys Reveals Exclusive Marvel Select Iron Man 3 Battle-Damaged Mark 42 and Iron Patriot

Marvel Select Exclusive Iron Patriot and BD Mark 42 2 Marvel Select Exclusive Iron Patriot and BD Mark 42 1

I was kind of hoping the just-revealed new figure from Diamond Select Toys’ Iron Man 3 Marvel Select line would be some sort of Pepper Potts figure. After all, they wouldn’t have to change anything about the Mark 42 armor except to give it an alternate Gwyneth Paltrow head sculpt, right? (Sorry, spoiler!) Instead, we get a battle-damaged variant – a predictable but likely a highly-desired choice. If you had been wondering why DST made a War Machine figure when that version of the armor didn’t appear in the movie, DST Chuck revealed in the latest Ask DST that they often start work on a movie line before the movie is done. In the case of Iron Man 3, they had an early script that featured War Machine before the Iron Patriot re-deco.

The new Mark 42 and the Iron Patriot will be exclusive to Disney Stores and online outlets DisneyStore.com and MarvelStore.com next month.
