More and more samples seems to be arriving by the truckload of late and I thought I'd pick out all the "boys toys" from the lot starting with Iron Man.

First up is the Kotobukiya "1/6 Kotobukiya Collection Movie Fine Art Statue: Iron Man." Currently available from HobbyLink Japan for 26,800 yen.

The box for this thing is huge and the polystyrene goes all over the place.

Is made of cold-cast porcelain and must weigh a few kilos.

The base takes 3 AAA batteries which light up the chest, eyes and palms.

Very nice statue indeed. Not articulated though.

Next up is the most smexy Iron Man Mark II by Hot Toys.

I think I prefer the MK II over the MK III - must be the nipples all over his chest.

Retails for 22,001 yen but Amazon are being generous and you can get 22 yen off from Amazon.

The back of the leg opens up to show you his sexy insides.

All of the body is plastic and the crotch armor is soft plastic to enable extended movement. The joints on the elbows are rubber.

The visible screws are removed to replace the button batteries.
BTW, Some of these in the Wallpaper Pool.

And this is Iron Man when he gets horny. The detailing under the shoulder flaps could have been a bit better. You can just about make out the switch to turn on the chest and eye lights.

Do try to see the film if you have not done so already - its rather awesome. Japanese Iron Man trailer below.

Have not tried the game though which looks cool - anybody played it?

First time for me to see the animated Iron Man below having a ruckus with Hulk.
