Photos and details have been shared by Sentinel for their upcoming Marvel Comics – Fighting Armor Iron Man Figure. The figure stands at 6.5″ tall, which is noticeably smaller than the Re:Edit Iron Man series. The figure will have some diecast metal parts, but will mostly be plastic. Iron Man includes multiple interchangeable hands and a figure stand. Future releases in the Fighting Armor line will include Captain America, Deadpool, Wolverine, and Iron Spider. We had seen prototypes of those a few weeks back.
The figure is priced at $680 Hong Kong Dollars (about $88 USD). Look for it to be released in November. Read on for more details, a pre-order link, and the new photos.

Marvel Comics - Fighting Armor Iron Man Figure by Sentinel
Kind of a bad sign when you do a line centered around different characters in Iron Man armor and then Iron Man himself looks... like this.
The torso especially is terrible looking. Not a huge fan of the helmet with the weird hood shape either. And - I am a sucker for articulation, but if you have to make indents this big for the elbows and knees and then put in solid red joints that stick out way too much - maybe it's time to put form over function here.
For the positives, I really like the paintjob, the arc reactors all over and how the armor plating on his thighs kind of resemble the Avengers logo.
Pretty weak start for a new line IMO and from what I’ve seen of the prototypes there’s not a whole lot to look forward to either.
Not even gonna bother. They should have just kept the RE:Edit line going.
Yaaaawn, I'll stick to comic based ML Iron man figures. The 80th anniversary classic version trumps this all the way & for like $50 less, same goes for classic War Machine.
I get that people are into the super stylized Japanese stuff, but does anybody anywhere dig the execution of that segmented midsection? There's a lot of high-end options for Iron Man figs, so who's paying for something that has such basic plastic elbow joints and that style weird ratcheting hip joints that would be ok on like a kid's $10-20 figure at this price point? And they're capable of better unless a lot of things have changed behind the scenes.
I change my mind. These look cool. Still want the RE:Edit stuff.
I actually think this one looks cool by its lonesome. Can't say the same for the rest of the upcoming line though.
