Happiest Place on Earth Hosts Iron Man Tech Presented by Stark Industries Exhibit
If you can’t make the around the world flight to Hong Kong to see the Iron Man 3 Suit Up at Hysan Place exhibit, maybe you can check out something closer to home, at the Happiest Place on Earth, no less. Disneyland is temporarily home to the Iron Man Tech Presented by Stark Industries exhibit. Much like Suit Up in Hong Kong, this show includes a life-sized Hall of Armor and a virtual exhibit where you can suit up as Iron Man – I wonder if it’s the same exhibit as the Hong Kong show.
The Disney show includes some memorabilia from the first two Iron Man movies, but it doesn’t include the showcase of Hot Toys Iron Man product that served as a scaled down companion to the life-sized Hall of Armor at the Hong Kong show. I’m wondering if a road trip is in order.

Hot Toys Announces Three More Iron Man 3 Armors
After watching the second Iron Man 3 trailer, the one with all those Iron Men, the first thing that crossed my mind (after “AWESOME!” of course) was “Hot Toys is going to have a field day with this!”
Today they announced three new armors from the movie, one for each of their 1/6 scale figure lines. For their premium Diecast line, it’s the Mark XVII Heartbreaker, the artillery level RT suit – this is the third Diecast product they’ve announced, joining the Mark XLII and the Iron Patriot. For Movie Masterpiece, it’s the Mark XXXVIII Igor, the heavy lifting suit – this one is reminiscent of the Hulkbuster armor from the comics, despite its blue coloring. And for the Power Pose line, it’s the Mark XXXV Redsnapper Armor, the disaster rescue suit – it’s joining the Mark XLII in the statue category.
And they’re promising even more armors to come. My wallet is going to need a break, or at least a cash infusion from Tony Stark.

Free Stuff Giveaway – Hasbro Marvel Legends 2013 Series 1 Ultimate Captain America and X-Force Wolverine
I never did get around to reviewing Ultimate Cap, Protector, and Hit Monkey from the first wave of Hasbro Marvel Legends in 2013 – but my laziness is no excuse for the Free Stuff giveaway that I promised, for the extra carded figures for Ultimate Cap and Wolvie. For this giveaway, I’m trying a new piece of software out to manage it – like usual, you’ll get multiple chances to win by liking on Facebook, tweeting, etc, but this way it’ll keep track in an automated fashion instead of me doing it by hand (with the chance for mistakes along the way). Let me know how you like it.
Also, be sure to check out the reviews I did put up:
