Hot Toys is proud to present the 1/4th scale Mark XLII Limited Edition Collectible Bust from one of the most anticipating blockbusters of the year - Iron Man 3 movie. It is specially produced based on the image of the iconic character Mark XLII in the movie, which is presented in fine sculpture, highlighting the light-up functions and metallic colored painting on armor.
Personally I don't have a thing for busts. Why should I settle for less-than-half a man / hero if I can have the whole? I like the complete figure for a full picture so that I can appreciate the figure for what it is and a bust just doesn't have all the details nor the completeness I can get from a 1/6th scale figure. These preview images of Mark XLII (Mark 42! What happened to Mark 8 to Mark 41?) and War Machine (it's a whole new version from the previous one – scroll down to see the pictures) released by Hot Toys at least give us a glimpse of what to expect when they release the 1/6 scale versions of these Iron Man armor suits nearer to the date of the film's release. Click on the pictures for a bigger and better view :)
Iron Man 3 movie's Iron Man Mark XLII seems to have a lot more gold in the armor than the previous versions
Also previewed by Hot Toys:
Hot Toys is proud to present the 1/4th scale War Machine Limited Edition Collectible Bust from one of the most anticipating blockbusters of the year - Iron Man 3 movie. It is specially produced based on the image of the War Machine character in the movie, which is presented in fine sculpture, highlighting the light-up functions and rotatable shoulder-mounted gatling gun.
War Machine has new armor and shoulder-mounted gatling gun.
That means a new version 2.0 1/6 scale War Machine will be released as well. That's exciting. Can't wait to see the 1/6 scale version Hot Toys will be releasing.
I wonder who came up with the gatling gun on the shoulder concept first? Predator or War Machine?
War Machines definitely looks more finished now as compared to the first version seen in the Iron Man 2 film. Good thing there's no longer the "ex-wife" ;p

I believe Mark 8 - 41 could be drones
Woohoo these new busts are great additions to my 1/4 Iron Man bust collection. My pockets will be busted again haha. But where is the star spangled bust? Hmmmmm, does this mean we will have an exclusive bust version, sort of a total repaint? I hope Hot Toys will consider to produce 1/4 scale bust of MK-2 Unleashed, Iron Monger, MK-1, MK-2 (Tony Stark version), MK-3 & please no MK-3 Battle Damage. Why? Paying an extra 20%-30% is logically better than buying a completely new bust. Besides, this will make Hot Toys standout more in the bust line because they will offer something new in the market (interchangeable armors, and try to add flickering light too since it's battle damaged haha).
Yup no "ex-wife". Let's all be patient and wait for the movie to be shown. Maybe this time we'll get the chance to see the "nEXt wife" haha.
