MarvelousNews has images of the series of Marvel Universe 2-packs that will follow the Secret Wars series.

Iron Starch and the Iron Man and War Machine versions of the Mighty Muggs were a little harder to resist, because cute and heavy armor are such a potent combination.
I am sorely tempted to cancel my pre-order for the Battle-Damaged Mark III armor in exchange for the Mark IV. The new ab articulation looks like it will move pretty well.
I am really impressed with the Mickey Rourke likeness on the Hot Toys MMS Whiplash from Iron Man 2. The squint, the expression, and the texture of his skin look dead-on to me. Continue reading “Hot Toys MMS Whiplash Press Pics”
