Classic Comic Book Iron Man Figures Coming From Hot Toys

If you’ve grown tired of the Marvel Cinematic Universe versions of classic comic book characters as far as merchandise is concerned, we’ve got some good news. Hot Toys is moving away from the MCU’s Iron Man and focusing on the Armored Avenger from the old days.
We spotted three new Iron Man 12″ Hot Toys figures at Sideshow Collectibles. The roster includes 1960’s Iron Man, 1981’s Stealth Iron Man, and 1992’s War Machine. The OG Stark suit and the Stealth version are very similar, with the main differences being the armor’s color and LEDs. War Machine looks like an entirely different figure, rather than reusing the same mold and attaching a few guns.
Iron Man comes with several unique accessories and a base. This puts his price at $405. In comparison, the Stealth suit and War Machine are both $375. The original Avenger will ship between July and September of this year. War Machine will be between July and December 2023. And the Stealth Armor will arrive sometime between April to September 2023.
