Iron Man Wild Walls Uncle Milton Wall Scape

I repainted the old office, and added an Iron Man Wild Wall wallscape. Its a pretty neat idea to brighten up the walls. The FX activator shoots light and sound enhancing the graphic.

Marvel Science Iron Man Repulsor Ray Tech Lab Uncle Milton

And another Marvel Science set to get your geek on, the Iron Man Repulsor Ray Tech lab!  A entertaining ball lift toy, that plays of fan technology. Lots of tricks to master with this set.

Marvel Science Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab Uncle Milton

If you are looking for an alternative toy to play with, check out the Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab. Its a pretty challenging little puzzle when you dive into it. The effects are nice, and it also works as a flashy night light. Waaaaay better than a Lava Lamp!

Iron Man Micro Muggs Blind Box

The Iron Man Micro Muggs are pretty much a static figure, but they are clean and highly stylized which make them loads of fun. As you can see in the review, they come alive very easily.

I am Iron Man, human cyborg, and this is my counterpart Mini Iron Man Capsule

Santa and War Machine wish you a Merry Christmas.

Iron Man 2; Movie Series War Machine #12

Took me a while to find and pick up a movie series War Machine, of course while Christmas shopping for OTHER people. At least he was on sale for five, which is a good deal for Iron Man toys. To start, he looks awesome! Probably my favorite armor style of all the figures so far. He seems to have a lot of layers of metal around him. He has some really nice military numbering going on too.

As an action figure, he has good and bad qualities. You can position him in a few good stands, but not that many. The dreaded Iron Man 2 hip joints are the most ugly thing to work with. Believe me, I should know, I did this.

His shoulder cannons are a bit loose, but better than I thought they would be. The can be moved around many ways for some spiffy targeting. He comes with 2 projectiles too! He has the same silly shoulder pad problem as the comic series Iron Man. I need to re-watch the movie, and see how those shoulders really work.

I think I am at the end of my Iron Man splurge. And yes, I can build a suit out of Iron Men, look for that soon...

What better ways to show off my Iron Man toys...

Just a regular old Comic Series Iron Man 2 Toy

The Comic Series Iron Man is the most common Iron Man 2 figure around. He is also available in the other Marvel Universe figure line in a very similar form. Since I am stuck on Iron Man 2 figures I added this one to my collection. All though it is only a matter of time before I start drooling over the Marvel Universe line.

This Iron Man figure is okay, with more issues with the hip joints. Its a trick to get the ball hips in the right direction to move the leg where you want it to go. His Head feels a little low, making me wish these figures included a neck joint. Otherwise he is a fun Iron Man action figure. The best part is his two display stands, one normal, the other a rocket blast, which you can use to display him in many different ways....

DRONE AGAIN! Iron Man 2, Air Assault Drone, # 17

OH YUCK!

This, might be the worst action figure of the year! What the hell happened with this guy? I can't get one pleasing angle. Just look at those "I have to pee legs", he must have been packed up for a loooong time. The designers couldn't even think of anything neat to do with it, so they highlighted the fact his Jet Pack is removable, wtf. My version has plastic flaws all over it, and the paint application is sooo boring. He even looked out of place in the package, good thing I was able to bargain "Buy one get one free" off a Marvel coupon meant for other Marvel figures (insert long story).

At least he stands okay with his brother Larry.

DRONE! Iron Man 2 Weapon Assault Drone, that is. Movie Series # 16

DRONE!

I wasn't planning on buying so many action figures this weekend, but they kept falling into my lap. I ran into this drone Larry, and his brother Lloyd and immediately picked them up, as they are rare, or new, or hard to find or some junk.

In the package the Weapon Assualt Droid looks awesome! Saw arms, Whips, and an extra head!

Outside of the box, he's not so great. Kind of hard to get him to do anything poseriffic. His hip and legs are so clumsy (Like Cutler's).

He has these arm shield panels, that well, just don't do it for me.

I do like the extra long flexible whips, it gives him an insect like feel. Yet, I have a hard time getting these whips to tie around Iron Man. I can't believe the makers resisted the urge to make a whipping action feature.

I think, stand alone, this toy is kind of lame compared to the other Iron Man figures. But if I team him up with Lloyd, and maybe get the third drone Ted, they will be a lethal bunch.

I'll show of Lloyd tomorrow.

Iron Man Mark II, Movie Series

I have a stock pile of toys in boxes by my desk that really needs some attention. Iron Man Mark II finally gets a chance to fly out of the package tonight (and yes, I will send out your Lego Minifigure soon bubbashelby, and yes, sad that the Post Office is only a couple blocks away!).

Each new Iron Man figure out of the package becomes my favorite. I like how shiny this guy is, but not being super reflective. In the box all the black line detailing looks funny, but in hand looks nice. This figure is solid too, no loose joints. His weapon launcher fits firmly on arm, but a little dorky looking. A vary impressive action figure all around.

Iron Man Mark I, Movie Series

The Mark I suit from the first Iron Man movie is a fan favorite. Out of all the suits, this one looks like it could actually exist (maybe not fly, but exist). It looks like Tony got hit by a steam train. Overall the figure looks great, but I am not too keen on his weapon launcher. It's hard to say how it really fits on his arm. I wish it fit into a peg or something more solid. But you don't need to use it, so it doesn't harm the figure.

Hasbro did a fine job releasing many different kinds of suits from the movie, comic, and concept lines for these figures. A way better idea, then the neon Bat suits that we saw from Batman Returns days. Although I think I did see a Lumber Jack green Iron man for his forest missions.

The gear belts on his legs are pretty cool. It would be neat if they moved, but understandable that they don't. I like the detail on the back side torso of this suit. There's some machinery of sorts above his waist in black that makes for a nice industrial look.

His articulation is pretty good for a bulky suit, about what is expected. I doubt he could tie his shoes, but hey no laces to tie!

Mark 1 Movie and Mark 1 comic immediately become friends of course. So many stories to share.

Confusion over Iron Man mark II, and Iron Man mark III solved?

So the story went; I go to store, I want a mark II Iron Man, I find one. Later when I get home I realize its not a Mark II but a Mark III, but it looks like a Mark II. I look at back of boxes, and there is another figure for Mark II, that has a missile launcher on a different arm. SO, is there a different silver ones? Maybe its a Mark II from the comics and not movie. I am so confused. I go back to store, look at other Mark II figures, and determine that the one I bought was just mislabeled.

So to clarify...

Mark I - Tony's first suit created in the field
Mark II - Tony's second, silver
Mark III - Tony's improved suit, painted, end of movie Iron Man 1.
Mark IV - Tony's improved Iron Man suit used at beginning of Iron Man 2.
Mark V - Tony's suitcase Iron Man suit.
Mark VI - Tony's newest suit, scene at end of Iron Man 2.

Did I get that right?

Titanium Man, Iron Man 2 Comic Series

Now that Iron Man 2 is over ten days old, many of the stores have good deals on the figures. Most stores in town this week are doing five dollar sales. With that kind of price, Titanium Man is a steal. I'm sure clearance prices are not far off, but I doubt Titanium Man will be defeated by clearance.

He reminds me of a green Colossus. His articulation is a tad better than some of the other Iron Man figures. My figure number is 00201, I don't think I have ever seen that so low. What, did I just open a rare 10,000 dollar figure?!?

Oh well, Tony would have wanted it that way, to be beaten by something spendy.

Mark V Iron Man 2

Gotta say the suitcase suit is my favorite from the new movie. Yes, you could make "How Iron Man 2 Should have ended", with Whiplash cutting Iron Man in half as his suit took its time forming around Tony, but I'll let that slide.

The figure comes with a suitcase of course, some missiles that fire out of the suitcase of course, and an extra hand to carry the suitcase of course. I guess they really really wanted to include a fist for Iron Man that interchanges with a hand that holds the suitcase.

The overall look of the figure is great. He has that tin foil look. His articulation could be better. He can't raise his arms outwards very well. He can't sit very well, which is common with many of the Iron Man figures. Also missing on these Iron Man figures is a neck joint that allows the figure to look ahead while flying. With that aside, I keep buying them, and will soon build by own Iron Man suit made of Iron Man action figures.

Hulkbuster Iron Man 2 #27

Some different Iron Man suits are starting to show up on shelves finally. Hulkbuster suits are always a favorite. This one is pretty good, with lots of movie style detail and good articulation. Mine has a some what loose midsection, but nothing to complain about.

So how does it measure up to Hulk?

He's a little shorter, but I am sure there are some hydraulics involved that will...

I need to find a smaller Hulk.

Uncle Iron Monger

Some left over Iron Monger photos. I like his size, he's bigger than the others, but not super huge.

He could cut back on the canned hams though.

Bwa?! Who dares frighten Iron Monger!!!

Iron Man 2; Movie Series Iron Monger, has a nice butt.

I think I am like the tenth person to show off their Iron Monger, so I should show a different angle to differentiate my blogs content. And what better angle is Iron Monger's butt. Pretty hot huh! I wonder what that small circle is for?

Okay okay enough with his butt, so here is his package. Number 7 in the series, he's big and beefy ready to sit on poor Iron Man.

I apologize for this blog post, its dinner time, I'm hungry for some Iron Monger.

Oh-No! Their is something wrong with my Malibu Stacey!

Notice his 'third' eye. :)
