NECA Iron Man 3 – 1/4 Scale Iron Man Mark 42 Update

Posted on February 2, 2017 at 2:41 pm by Joe Moore under Marvel Toy News

Thanks to Toyark forum member ams, we have word on an update to NECA‘s latest Iron Man 18″ figure. The Iron Man 3 – 1/4 Scale Iron Man Mark 42 Figure will no longer include the removable face plate that was originally slated to come with the figure. That feature has been replaced with light up LED eyes on the helmet. Here’s the updated description via NECA:

The latest offering in our line of Marvel 1/4 scale action figures comes from the blockbuster movie Iron Man 3!

In the Mark 42 armor – the “Autonomous Prehensile Propulsion Suit” debuted in the movie – Iron Man stands approximately 18” tall and features all new armor deco. LED lights in the eyes, Arc Reactor and Repulsors (chest and palms) really bring the suit to life!

Comes with 2 sets of interchangeable hands. Uses button cell batteries, included. Window box packaging.

You can see the original photos including the, now cancelled, removable face plate Here. The release date has also been updated to April 2017.

    No lights in the eyes? Ouch! Looks like its broken with only the chest and palms illuminated, and the eyes darkened. I like the removable faceplate idea, but I'd still like some lights in the eyes. NECA should just make the interior of the helmet light up, so Tony's face is illuminated when the faceplate is off, and the eyes are lit up when the faceplate is on. I'd like it even if it came with an alternate head with the light-up eyes, and had to pay a little extra.

    I completely agree about the eyes not lit up being a major disappointment, but I'm sure what you suggested would be far too expensive to keep it at 100 unless it was a SDCC exclusive or something next year maybe. But they'll have something better next year

    GENIUS! They should totally make a 1/4 scale Civil War Ant/Giant-man! Then we can just add him to our MCU 6" figure display

    He would be awesome and we could put him with our MCU figures he would be perfect scale! Imagine how detailed and Great he would be.

    Just a bump to add some new info--this seems to have somewhat recently fallen off NECA's shipping calendar. Originally slated for October, and no longer listed for either January or February.

    My BBTS preorder hasn't been cancelled or anything... it still says Jan, but they've just been pushing the date back each month, so it's not a good indicator.

    I assume it's coming at some point, but anybody have any behind-the-scenes info on this one?

    Haven't heard anything myself. I wonder if they're trying to space out the 1/4 scale releases a bit. There's a ton of them on shelves right now from past few months.

    EDIT:
    Looking around at the usual toy stores, and all still list as a January arrival. It may still ship soon, but perhaps no longer has an official date in which it does so. I'm not sure though. I'll try to keep an eye out over next few days, see if calendar or dates get adjusted.

    Interesting. I guess that explains the delay. Wonder why they scrapped the removable face plate. I see the listing was updated on NECA's site too. Release now says April on there.

    Hey All,

    Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but did NECA already produce a 1/4 version of the Mark 7 armor? I see a battle damaged version, but I'm looking for one that looks nice and clean and shiny new.

    Edit: Never mind, found it, but for US$300, I'll pass. Good grief!
