Hot Toys Iron Man Mk III up for Pre-Order at Sideshow Collectibles

Wow. This almost-$200 Iron Man action figure is the sort of thing that would blow anyone away. A 12-inch scale action figure, this guy even comes with batteries.

The Iron Man Mark III 12 inch Figure features:

* Over 36 points of articulation
* Metallic paint with battle damaged finish
* Light-up eyes and ARC reactor (battery operated – battery included)
* Expandable wrist gauntlet
* Adjustable shoulder-mounted munitions pod
* Fully deployed air flaps on back of leg armor
* Working forearm rockets
* Seven (7) interchangeable hands, including light-up repulsor hand
* Two (2) interchangeable chest armor plates
* Iron Man helmet with light-up eyes (battery operated – battery included)
* Battle damaged helmet with removable mask to reveal authentic likeness of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark
* 12-inch figure stand
* Full color display packaging

This guy is as impressive as hell but the $200 price tag makes me appreciate my 3.75-inch scale Marvel Universe action figures even more. $8 or $9 for each figure doesn’t look so bad next to the price on this guy.
