The next Iron Man armor to get the S.H. Figuarts treatment is the Mark 5 Armor, as seen in the Iron Man 2 film. Listed as a Bandai Premium Web Exclusive for Japan, the new figures comes with the usual assortment of parts and accessories. The S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark 5 Armor includes three additional sets of interchangeable hands, effects pieces, and the suitcase which becomes the armor in the movie. The figure will features a mix of diecast metal, PVC plastic and clear plastic.
We’re awaiting official word on a U.S. release from Bluefin. If and when it is announced, the North American version will likely include a Hall of Armor display. In Japan, the figure goes up for pre-order beginning on May 26th. It has a release date set for October and will be priced at 6,480 Yen (about $58 USD). You can see the new photos by reading on.
SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark 5 Armor Photos and Details

Looks very, very cool and its one of my favorite MCU suits to date, so I might get this one. Though I fear how much upcharge they will add to the US version for a dumb hall of armor thing. May have to import the japanese one this time.
I liked this one a lot too. Wish they'd have used it in more than one scene.

I actually don't like the armor all that much. I'll wait and see, maybe if it goes down in price I'll get it just for the hall and sell the armor.
So this looks awesome. Pretty glad we are getting the briefcase with it as well. Just received my first piece to this puzzle the mk 6 looks awesome. Pod is pretty cool as well and have the 2 and 5 on preorder. However I already purchased the newer sculpted mk 3 and am gonna have to buy a pod for it and I am not real happy about standalone pod prices. The first article I read about this they valued pods at roughly 45$? Except I can't find them at all for cheaper than 80$. Which sucks if they were 40-50$ I would purchase about 5 extra of them to fit in my mk 42, 43, 45 and 46. Also still haven't heard anything on this yet is Figuarts going to do the homecoming ironman armor mk 47? Because it looks pretty sweet. Maybe that's our September iron man release since the 2 comes out in August and the 5 in October? It would be kinda crap if they didn't because they have pretty much done every major armor from the last few films. Let's bring those stand alone pod prices down people! They are cool but not 93$ by themselves cool. 45$ is more than fair am I right???
