Play Imaginative Super Alloy Iron Man Announced
... makes a little more sense than armored Batman?
A quarter scale Iron Man made of die cast?! That figure will weigh a ton. Too bad they're not doing comic based armors. I have Hot Toys for my movie Iron Man needs. I can't wait to see what HT has cookin' for the 1/4th range.
It's funny they're doing comic versions for DC, but movie versions for Marvel (Iron Man). Too bad we can't get some comic accurate Armors. I'm all in on neo classic or Silver Centrion Iron Man.
