Iron Man 2 Action Figures at the Grocery Store

Now this was an unexpected find. A relatively large grocery store chain here in Texas, HEB, has proven to be a good place to find slightly tough to get toys but I never expected to see these three releases in the Iron Man 2 action figure series.

I grabbed the Ultimate Iron Man and the War Machine with interchangeable heads put passed on that armored Whiplash. And I have the Ultimate Iron Man open and owe you guys a review; it’s a lot nicer than I had expected.

  1. I always wonder how these ridiculous off the beaten path places get the best figures from certain toylines. I find variants/rarities at Rite-Aid all the time. What gives?

  2. @SDTB – Nah, I’d rather leave the duplicates for the next person who visits the store. I’ll probably be back there tomorrow so I will take a look and see if someone else has found them.

  3. @BubbaShelby – I assume it’s because places like this have a smaller number on pegs than places like Wal-Mart and Target. And probably a smaller stock in their warehouses so they reorder more often which means Hasbro ships newer waves while Wal-Mart and Target are still working through their own supplies of older cases.

  4. I’ve been looking for that Whiplash forever but all my local stores have are countless Mark IV/V/VI Iron Man variants… Good catch!

  5. Dang Bro, Kobe collects Marvel 3 3/4″ figs. and I need to score him the War Machine and Whiplash for sure!

    Nice find and thanks for sharin’ the photos.

  6. I can tell you you can pass on that Whiplash. I may be alone in this, but I really wasn’t so impressed with him. A lot of his articulation is blocked by sculpt, but especially his elbows. They hardly bend at all. Ultimate IM is a great toy, though 🙂

  7. @TheGodBeast – Shoot me an e-mail if you want the Whiplash and War Machine and I’ll check the store to see if they’re still on the pegs.
