Hot Toys Announces Iron Man 3 Tony Stark

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Tony Stark 1

With Iron Man 3 just a few months out, Hot Toys has revealed their first figure for the movie – Tony Stark. As incredible as RDJ is in the role, I imagine an action figure of Tony Stark is a tougher sale than any of the armors – so Hot Toys is including some add-ons that should make it worthwhile. The new body includes a light-up ARC reactor in his chest, and there’s all the workshop goodies too.

Hot Toys Expanding Product Offerings with Diecast Figures and Premium Format Statues

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Power Pose Mark XLII 1

Hot Toys is expanding beyond its current line-up of high-end action figures with a new series of even higher-end diecast figures and a new premium format statue with interchangeable parts. Both announcements are centered on their various Iron Man brands – collectively the biggest performer for them.

Iron Man is a natural fit for diecast – with no specific product to launch it, I wonder just how much Play Imaginative’s announced diecast Iron Man (already available for pre-order from BBTS) is driving this move. Statues also seem a little out of Hot Toys’ wheelhouse, but you can’t fault them for looking for a bigger piece of the collectibles pie.

Hasbro Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends Series 1 with Build-A-Figure Iron Monger at eBay

Marvel Legends Iron Man Wave 1 Set

When we saw the line-up for Iron Man Marvel Legends at BigBadToyStore a couple weeks ago, I wondered if, with just three figures in the wave, if the Iron Monger Build-A-Figure that Hasbro teased back at San Diego Comic-Con would still be part of the line. Now that Hasbro Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends is hitting eBay, we know the answer is a resounding “Yes!” It’s going to take six figures across two waves to do it, and if Hasbro can improve the distribution that we saw with Hulk Legends and Fin Fang Foom, we should be in pretty good shape.
