Iron Man 2 action figures?

[gantz]

hey guys, has anyone seen the iron man 2 action figures in any stores yet???

[Dkaris]

ive seen the iron man 2 bobble heads, and some other weird size/shaped type but none of the 3 inch ones.

[gantz]

cool! yeah ive seen the bobbleheads, funko exclusives, the red vortex race car, repulsor blast gloves and helmet but oddly still no action figures!

[Dkaris]

I'd say the end of the month at the earliest is when we will see them start to appear.

[gantz]

They were only released in the states March 1st, so I'd say you're right.

[Meangreen]

They haven't shown up yet in kiwiland either.

I'm hoping the line moves faster, or is less overstocked, than the wolverine line was. Because I'd really like to be able to get the later waves of a movie toyline for a change...

[gantz]

it was a damn shame we only got a few various Wolverine figures. and was actually shocked at how over stocked every action figure was.

[gantz]

Here are the exclusive 6 inch figures! look great!!

[Dkaris]

Are those 6 inch exclusives the marvel select ones? any idea where to pick them up (probably have to order from the states)

[gantz]

nope, they're the Walmart exclusives, so yeah gonna have to order those from ebay.

The marvel select figures are Borders exclusives. Ive been meaning to ask australian Borders stores if they will stock them, I dont know much about Borders. Hopefully they'll be made available to comic stores.

[griffin]

Hasbro's IM2 toys are set for an April release, probably 2-3 weeks before the movie is out on the 29th.

[gantz]

and that would be just for the action figures yeah?? cause most other items have been released.

[twincobra]

These where found at myers a while back @ $19.95.

[gantz]

Really??? do you if it was the movie wave or comic wave???

[gantz]

FYI mainly to Dkaris, they have ARRIVED! they have all the waves at 1 of my local Targets, and Myer also.

They look Fantastic! Especially the concept series.

[Deceptic_Optic]

...and toys r us spotted them at parra

[Dkaris]

got some in at work. bobbleheads and 3 inch figs

[loophole]

i saw some of these today they look pretty cool except for the $18 price tag

[Grievous]

^You hit the nail on the head Loophole...

My local Toyworld had them in stock yesterday...and I will
admit they look pretty awesome...I'm not paying $18.00 for
a 3.75 inch tall action figure.
:(

That's the same as a ROTF scout...
:mad:

Although...if I can't find them cheaper...I will still have to
pick up the film and comic War Machine...He's just so bad ass!
:cool:

[gantz]

yeah I just got mine from Myer for $14.95 :D

[Zippo]

Having been bitten by the $2 Joe bug, I had a look at what was released in New Zealand so far (Wave one of the Movie line). Price tag of $20NZ per figure thoiugh really put me off and what has put me off getting anything else 4 inch in the past.

[SMHFConvoy]

Yeah they have been marked up. Target has them for $15 atm and I picked up the hypervelocity armor. Anyone know why there's a peghole in the figures back?

[Dkaris]

hey deceptic, in your photo there which iron man is the one on the right of the one you have in the centre? has the blue thing in his chest but its kinda covered over.

[Deceptic_Optic]

...its Iron Man Hypervelocity Armor

[Zippo]

Oh, is that Mark VI that has two open hands rather than one open and one closed?

[Doubledealer]

These 3.75" IM2 figures are totally brilliant. :D Only have the fella below so far but am looking forward to pay day later in the week so I can grab a couple more. Optics my good man, is that the Mark I suit in the back right? I haven't seen him at retail yet (haven't really looked in many places mind) but I'm desperate to get my grubby mits on that one...Oh and isn't the paint on the original Iron Man absolutely amazing? So damn cool!

I like the Warmachine figure too, the only one I have so far. some of the others look nice as well, though judging from this thread (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=161386#post161386) there are some lemons in the series too.

[Doubledealer]

Was pleased to find this little beauty at my local Kmart today. :) Stupid accessory aside (not sure why Hasbro felt the need to include a silly oversized flamethrower, wouldn't a pop-up missle gimmick in one of the arms make more sense?) this is another amazingly detailed figure for the size. I loved the whole Mark I scene and to have a toy representation of the suit is a real nerdgasm. :D

http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu332/Doubledealer_83/IronMan2-IronManMarkI.jpg

[rampagesss]

Bought the Mark 3 and Comic War Machine, there great figures now to just find comic Iron man and movie war machine tomorrow :D

As discussed in the other Marvel vs Toybiz thread, Hasbro seem to be separating the gimmick from the figure with recent toys. I think it's a good thing though, as you just know if they had done a pop up gimmick, they would have robbed the toy of arm articulation.

That particular Iron Man toy has also caught my eye, I'm wondering if it will be one that sells out, or hangs around till they get discounted.

From what I've seen in stores so far, Kmart has the most in terms of available stock and variety and is the only place I've seen the LED Mark VI (I looked at 10 at Chermside Kmart tonight, all had atrocious paint apps so I didn't get one :mad:) and Target is the only place I've seen the Centurions-esque concept series ones. I've been to other stores like Big W, Toyworld and Myer and they had bugger all IM2 toys. If you're after Mark I try Target first - I saw 4 of them as opposed to only 1 at Kmart. Hope a LED Mark VI with decent paint turns up at some point!

[Lord_Zed]

I've actually seen Mark 1 most places, I just haven't convinced myself to buy it yet.

Bought to many figures of late.

Oh go on, treat yourself. :D

After sorting through 15-20 LED Mark VI's I finally came across one with decent paint apps. Wasn't too happy with the mouth so I filled it in with black paint, much better. :)

[Dkaris]

something about the triangle thing in the new armors chest just doesnt do it for me. circle light thing ftw!

[SMHFConvoy]

Anyone want to guess whether we'll get the Wal Mart exclusives? They come with sets of hands pretty sweet...

Is that a 6" fig or 3.75"?

[Doubledealer]

Is that a 6" fig or 3.75"?

3.75" my friend. Same one as shown here: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS18357&mode=retail I highly recommend him!

What are these Wal Mart exclusives of which you speak? Any piccies?

[rampagesss]

Anyone found movie War Machine yet? havent seen him anywhere yet :(

Nup. I don't think he or the suitcase armour are out here just yet.

[Dkaris]

anyone else have the 6 inch marvel select figures yet?

[gantz]

Hey Dkaris, getting mine from my local comic store, Impact Records, this saturday! it'd be awesome if diamond toys could do 2 comic book versions to accompany the marvel select figures :rolleyes:

[Dkaris]

you'll like it. i found a hypervelocity iron man at work today. is it worth buying? ive got it hidden waiting for replies before i buy it.

[gantz]

I remember first seeing the hypervelocity promo pic on the cover of toyfare, and was a little dissapointed when I saw it in person, that said, I reckon its a pretty awesome figure, especially with this super simple modification, so Iron Man can have a jet pack!

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/300653-crazy-simple-ironman-mod.html#

[Dkaris]

i just wish both hands were open. this one hand open one fist thing is so 80's. what were ha$bro thinking?

[gantz]

dude, totally! they could've at least varied it between figures, prob the most appealing feature of the 6 inch ones, being able to choose which hands. hey do you when the black widow, nick fury figures are released??

[Dkaris]

No idea on black widow. I'd love a hot toys warmachine, but i just cant bring myself to spend that kind of cash on a character that isnt really one of my favorites.

[gantz]

that stuff's expensive! has anyone seen the the next movie figures out yet? war machine, suit case armour etc.

[Meangreen]

The latest wave of comic figures has been spotted at retail in the U.S. Here's a link to some pics

http://www.thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=65500&start=0

Man, I swear Hasbro will never need to make a 4 inch scale Iron Man figure ever again if they keep this up.

[Charles_Carmichael]

does anyone think that the 6 inch exclusives will be heading to the down under?
Because I remember seeing a Exclusive Iron Man [Repulsor Red Prototype] Silver Centurion at a local kmart when the first movie was released.

[Charles_Carmichael]

i got these a while back but i thought i should show you guys a pic

http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/9682/dsc03432ix.jpg (http://img693.imageshack.us/i/dsc03432ix.jpg/)

[gantz]

Noticed in that pic and on the Hasbro site that the mark VI doesnt have the correct paint app! There should be grey on the biceps and knee caps. Which I noticed had been corrected in a pic from the latest toyfare magazine :confused:

anyway, has anyone come across the movie war machine, or whiplash etc yet?? canberra hasnt got 'em yet :mad:

There will be some 6 inch one but i dont think it will be mark v vi or the war machine ones because they are all wal mart exclusives. But I have heard of rumors about a three pack release at kamrt consisting of teh captain america suit, war machine and i think but not sure a but a red repulsor one

Had a look in toys r us the other day and didn't find any movie war machines :mad: hopefully they should get them in soon as i really want one.
I am tempted to but the Talking helmet, found someone who did this to theres
http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t152/Rampage_017/367081386_o.jpg
And make it movie real with the smaller eyes but would paint it in Iron Man red and gold

[Meangreen]

I picked up the Comic FA Iron Man. He's a really great figure. Surprisingly well articulated to boot.

Well my cousin who visited the US got it for me as a suprise gift, and he did say that it was $12 USD at walmart at that time.

[gantz]

Nice!

Cant wait for the 'Fury Of Combat' 4-pack to be released. It has 2 Hammer Ground Assault Drones, a acurately painted Mark VI, annnnnnnd Nick Fury :D

[foor]

Nice. I wonder when the drones and Whiplash will finally make their way here. The movie's off the cinemas now, so it's kinda late to capitalise on the buzz.

[gantz]

Probably why Hasbro will more than likley hold off till the DVD release.

[gantz]

Some new Comic Series figures revealed:

http://marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=23&itemid=13316

[SamLoi888]

Best Iron Man Movie figures I've seen so far are the Marvel select ones.

[Sharky]

was in toys r us at lunch and come across the Fury of Combat box set

Includes:
Ironman Mark VI
Ground Assault Drones (x2)
Nick Fury



picy (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.comicsalliance.com/media/2010/06/furydronestruimages.jpg)

priced at $49.99

[gantz]

REALLY? what state?

[Sharky]

REALLY? what state?

Chatswood toys r us, NSW

[gantz]

Cool, Im in ACT and will definitley check it tomorrow, thank you :D

[gantz]

DAMN! My local did not have the fury of combat pack, so bummed :mad:

All good though, as I went to my comic store and they had Marvel Select War Machine, which is now mine

[Lord_Zed]

That price actually seems reasonable for Toys r Us.

Nick Fury looks kinda like a Gi Joe repaint with a new head, not that that is really a bad thing I guess.

Just a test post really, trying to view this picture I took a while back to see what figures I have and have not. Internet connection refuses to load this picture directly for me

Not out in Australia yet I take it?
I couldn't remember what I had purchased while back home, so when I saw Guardsman and Titanium Man I knew I wanted one - just didn't know which

[Zippo]

Saw the Iron Man 4 pack yesterday at TRU Miranda. Paint job was horrible on the set

[k.wong23]

Hey guys,

Anyone seen the Iron Man 2 electronic helmets around? If so; where abouts in Melbourne and how much? i.e discounted? Fishpond have them for $49 - $10 coupon = $40.

[Meangreen]

Well, I'm slowly building my Iron Man armory.

http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo232/Bullfinger/Random%20Toy%20Pics/Coffeecan.jpg

First up is that one Iron Man armor I don't really know how to refer to. Anyway, it's a nice fig. Slightly substandard with the silly shoulder pad articulation though. Quite a nice sculpt though, looks the part.

http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo232/Bullfinger/Random%20Toy%20Pics/Hulkbuster.jpg

Second is the Hulkbuster. To be honest, I'm pretty ambivalent on it. I can deal with the small size but the paint mismatch and some aspects of the sculpt don't wow me. He'll look good throwing down with the Juggernaut in any case.

Having fiddled with these a bit I can honestly say I like MU style hips more too. What a chore rotating these ones to the right direction.

[gantz]

Love the classic Iron Man

God I need these, will be ordering them!

Don't forget the villains too!

This wave looks very awesome. Pity about the expected lack of articulation in War Machines arms.

[Zippo]

The villians look good, but the only way to get Mandarin at the moment is to get a full case. Nothing else appeals to me.

[Tallestblue]

I found the next wave of Iron Man movie figures at my Local K-mart,
there's Whiplash, War Machine and the Mark IV armour in that wave. and whole bunch or repaints I assume. Shame I can't afford to buy none until friday.

[gantz]

Ooo excellent, thnaks for that! they look good?

Will be checking kmart on the weekend :D

[Sharky]

Ooo excellent, thnaks for that! they look good?

ooooh me too...

[Tallestblue]

The Iron Man armours look pretty sweet, I think the paint apps on the Whiplash I looked at were less than Spectacular, much like the eyes on the Wolverine Movie figures.

[Sharky]

kmart had some new figures last night (well not new but new for us) guardsman titanium man silver centurion, whiplash war machine etc.

good to finally see some new figures.

$8 each

WHOA! AN ACTUAL POSABLE IRON MAN FIGURE! But one small complaint though - is it me or does his body proportions seem out of place? just a tad-bit? His upperchest seems quite small but then again that could have been intentional with Robotech designing.

Impressive, but the proportions just seem a tad-bit off imo. I think it's the chest on both of them, doesn't it seem a bit too low?

[Meangreen]

Oh cool Gantz. I swear I saw a proto for the final whiplash somewhere just the other day...

I've been picking up a fair few IM2 figures now they're at clearance. I'll have to take a good Hall or armor pic once I have them all in my grasp. Titanium Man still eludes me though *Shakes fist at sky*.

[Zippo]

I picked up myself a few comic series figures at a couple of Kmarts when I ran across them for $6AU while visiting. It was strange finding only the one Iron Man figure in a store and it being one I was interested in.

Need Comic Mandarin though - and hes not cheap.

I'd say there's a pretty good chance I could find a Titanum Man if I looked hard enough. Want me to see if I can find one for you?

[gantz]

And if he cant, I could.

K-Mart I ventured into on Saturday had a few.

Was the proto you saw similar to this hammer drone??

Hmm, it's tempting, IM2 figures are clearanced after all aren't they? Still, the Aussie dollar would make postage pretty rough.

Here's the link though Gantz. I dont think much is known about it apart from that.

I owe Zippo a Birthday prez later in the year, I could piggy back in the same parcel if you're happy to wait till Sept/Nov... whenever the hell it is. :P I heard you're nearby?

On a sadder note, my Kmart no longer have any IM2 figs left at all. So I'll let you know if I have any luck when I hit Geelong soon.

********************************

I don't like the prototype at all but I love the drone.... I'd be all over that. I wonder if we'll ever see it here?

Hey man, if you can that would be hugely appreciated! Waiting is no problem to me.

Classic Iron Men!

No matter how much I handle the IM2 figures I don't think I'll ever like them better than the MU mold. I can't deal with the lack of wrists and the gimped head articulation. Each to their own I guess as I think most people rate the former over the latter.

Simply AMAZING!

Forgot to say, I ordered this bad boy on Monday, can wait to rip him out of his packaging prison!!
:D

Post some badass pics Gantz!

I grabbed this guy recently. He's very cool and all, definitely a cool armor but I feel like mine has some messed up legs. His stance is really wide and his feet don't sit flat, in addition to that the tops of his thighs are quite different in design, with one having a lip that blocks inwards articulation. It's all very strange and I guess what I'm asking is if anyone else has this figure with these issues?

[gantz]

I'll try my best :D

Yeah but you still made him look sick!! Which armour is that?

I can sort of see what you're saying from the pic, the positioning looks odd, but dont have the figure myself...

It's the "Deep Dive" from the first wave of the IM2 concept line. He should be well reduced by now and is really a swish figure. (See review) (http://www.battlegrip.com/?p=12237)

I think that dude's figure suffers as well, it must be a weird design choice perhaps?

[gantz]

It may just be the way he has been positioned, but the chest place looks oddly place hey.

Besides that, great looking figure and I do like the paint job.

Grabbing a few of these from BBTS for the Initiative War Machin when he arrives, they're for Gundam figures, but god damn, you know Iron Man figures would look so much more awesome on 'em :D

Plus the green will compliment War Machine very well

Well sorry Meangreen but my attempts to track you down a Titanium Man are a complete bust. I've not only hit every store in Bendigo but today I also checked out over half of Geelong and still no luck.

Hey man, that's ok. Thanks so much for putting that effort in regardless.

I've consoled myself with the Advanced Armor figure that Zippo snagged for me from your fair country.

Apart from the lack of arm swivels this figure is full on glorious. The added neck joint has a really big positive impact and the sculpt is really nice. It's a pity the line never got to crank out more cool comic armors like this.

Have seen the armour a few times and thought awesome of it.

'Green, can I ask, I've just received the friggin' marvelous Initiative War Machine, And really want pics to look great!

Any tips? How do you achieve that white background on most of your pics?

The best camera I have is on my Nokia N8, its good, but I guess useless in the hands of someone who has like no idea what they're doin!

:confused:

Well, I'm not overly experienced with photography so I found this tutorial HERE (http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html), and others like it on the web, to be a great help. I built a similarly cheap set up myself, except that it's heavy on the "extra-cheap" side.

From my experience the camera is not as important as lighting the subject and having the camera steady. I use an 8 year old, 3 MP camera with about 5 minutes battery life every charge. As long as it has a macro mode it should be sufficient.

I also have to balance the colours a bit after taking the photo as all my light is very yellow.

I'm excited to see what you come up with!
