Before 2008's Iron Man was released, Tony Stark was a B-List superhero at best. Yes, he was part of The Avengers and one of Stan Lee's earliest co-creations, but he'd never really reached the same heights as, say, Spider-Man and the X-Men in terms of being a household name.

Marvel Studios and Robert Downey Jr. changed all that, of course, and Iron Man is now a bona fide A-Lister.

Early in the MCU, the hero's armours were based on the Extremis design by Adi Granov; however, by the time Avengers: Infinity War rolled around in 2018, Tony was rocking a nanotech suit which, while a popular design, arguably lost much of the charm of those early suits.

2013's Iron Man 3 featured the largest number of classic Iron Man armours, but will we ever see this version on screen?

Hot Toys/Honō Studio has unveiled a new Iron Man 1/6th scale and the Armoured Avenger looks like he's just stepped off the page. With the Multiverse in play, there has to be a way for Marvel Studios to sneak this into Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, right?

Downey is playing Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom in those movies but there's nothing to say he can't pull double duty by suiting up as an Iron Man Variant as well.

"Honō Studio once again brings back all the nostalgia!" reads the official description. "Based on the Iron Man comic book series, this Iron Man figure features a newly designed body with seamless silicon arms and knees, arc reactor and repulsor palms with magnetic activated LED light-up feature, together with a comic cover backdrop!"

"This 1/6th scale figure also comes with swappable face masks and detachable countermeasure dispensers, capturing the finest details of Iron Man’s classic look at different eras."

@ProfessorWhy - love the CB display stand

Wow that's dope. How do those arms articulate? They look so clean

DravenCorvis - 9/3/2024, 6:22 AM

@Tpo81 - The arms will have a rubber "skin", and the various joints will be under it.

Haven't bought any Hot Toys for a good while, but they do seem to be avoiding visible joints (when possible) now.

@DravenCorvis - I've never bought one. I've been strictly 1/12 scale for years but this is definitely make me think of grabbing him

DravenCorvis - 9/3/2024, 7:13 AM

@Tpo81 - I 100% get you with what thinking about taking the plunge.

Got my 1st around 2008-09 (A Heath Ledger Joker), but to say I gave that a lot of thought 😛

That looks so much better then I expected. Now I wanna see a Robert Downey Jr rock this as an Iron Man variant in Secret Wars.

@bkmeijer1 - I need RDJ Iron Man coming through a portal playing AC/DC just to [frick] up Doom 😎

Idc how fan servicy it is, give it to me

ProfessorWhy - 9/3/2024, 6:59 AM

@FireandBlood - If You Want Blood You've Got It

bkmeijer1 - 9/3/2024, 7:38 AM

@FireandBlood - I kinda hope we get to him be accompanied by the original Avengers from the comics in a comic book accurate look then

FireandBlood - 9/3/2024, 6:25 AM

We basically got it in Endgame. The closest to it, anyway.

IAmAHoot - 9/3/2024, 7:28 AM

That's pretty awesome! I'd still like to see that version but done up to look like a real life (movie quality, I suppose) suit. I've gotten so spoiled on what Hot Toys does with movie likenesses that I forget they do tantamount work on other properties as well, if not more so.

HermanM - 9/3/2024, 7:55 AM

This is perfect. When and where can I buy it?

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 9/3/2024, 11:10 AM

They're still finding ways to make Iron Man figures.

I started reading comics in the early 80s, so this is my favourite Iron Man armor ever. I'm not a huge fan of the pointy mask version, but that said I wish they did the horribly cheesy mask with the nose. And roller skates!
