“When it comes to Iron Man 3, many people have already passed it over their head in anticipation of what’s to come next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though, that doesn’t mean that Hot Toys is done creating 12-inch figures from the movie. On their Facebook Page, Hot Toys put of the following teaser, which appears to be the Iron Man 3 Hot Rod Armor.
Now of course many of the Iron Man armors that Hot Toys is making didn’t have much more than a few seconds of screen time, but clearly there is a market for their obscure armors. The Hot Rod armor has already been shown at some international toy fairs, which you can check out below.
Looking at the armor, it appears to be a halfway done repaint of the recently released Diecast War Machine figure. In my opinion, Hot Toys could have at least added some of the sexy paint to the upper half of the body to make this figure more appealing.
This figure is supposed to be a “Hot Toys Exclusive” which usually means that there will be a limited amount of the figure offered from each of the large Hot Toys distributors around the world, including Sideshow Collectibles. More information about the figure will be released on the afternoon of December 3rd (Hong Kong Time).”
Added to Wish List 🙂
