one of the sweetest rust-bucket i've ever set my peepers on: hot toys' movie masterpiece mark one iron man 1/6 figure
Heroes Aren't Born, They're Built - "Does Autumn means something special for you? Cool weather or cool stuffs? In this season, we're so excited to bring you the trial version of Iron Man - MARK I which was a power suit created by Tony Stark to escape from a kidnapping. This is really a big challenge for our Creative Team as this Mark I figure is more detailed and complicated than Mark II and Mark III. This 12" Mark I collectible figure accurately presents Tony Stark's movie costume and dressed in the Mark I armor. We hope you'll like our special present for all Iron Man fans! Act fast to preorder this clumsy hero today, or he'll fly away soon!" [via HT-newsletter]
Hot Toys releases their 1/6th-scaled IRON MAN MARK 1 articulated action figure from their Movie Masterpiece Series [www] - featuring head-sculpt by TJ.Cha, with head art-directed by Yulli and paint by JC. Hong. What would have made this a perfect piece (awesome, it still is, mind) - is that the suit cannot be removed from the body.
A magazine-scan (of HK's East Touch) via the diligent members of Toy-World shows more of the upcoming 1/6-scaled IRON MAN MARK-ONE armor from Hot Toys [HERE] along with a little bit more info to my earlier blog-post: Tentatively scheduled for a March/April 2009-release @ an estimated SRP of HK$1180 (US$152 / SDG$217 / info via mag-scan) = which given the current pricing on HT-products, is pretty darn decent, IMHO :)
