Sweet New Merch for the Iron Man 3 Release

I’m currently wishing that I was as rich as Tony Stark because the impressive new collection of Iron Man 3 inspired merchandise has me checking my account for expendable income. In anticipation of the film’s May 3rd release, Marvel has launched a product collection that has something for everyone. The products epitomize what we love about Tony Stark: impressive tech and an aesthetic that screams bad-boy cool. The collection involves an impressive array of apparel, gadgets, customizable figures and cool toys. Even a billionaire playboy philanthropist will drool.

First up are the toys: The Iron Man 3 Assemblers Action Figures and Battle Vehicle, as pictured above, feature interchangeable pieces for a wide variety of play options. The figures each have 25 armor combinations, with 16 figures total to interchange pieces with. The Battle Vehicle boasts a figure launch feature and places to attach the weapon arm pieces. Each figure is sold separately and the Battle Vehicle comes with one figure and 3 interchangeable battle arm accessories. The Assemblers Action Figures are $9.99 each and the Battle Vehicle is$19.99. Intended for ages 4 and up. For those of you who love lights and sounds, the Sonic Blasting Iron Man Figure (below) is a 15 inch scale model of the Night Ops suit, featuring lights in the chest and eyes, battle sounds and heroic phrases, glow in the dark armor and a motorized missile launcher. The figure includes 20 missiles but not the 3 AA batteries it requires. SRP: $29.99. Intended for ages 4 and up.

For those who like to be Iron Man rather than just play with him, there’s the Arc FX Mission Mask ($24.99) and the Motorized Arc FX Gauntlet ($19.99). The mask features dual missile launchers, a light up visor and a targeting light effect that really immerse the wearer in the Iron Man experience as well as sound effects and heroic phrases. The Gauntlet is something I want myself: wrist-mounted motorized nerf-disc shooting action! Both are for ages 5 and up…I totally fit in that age range!

  

Finally for the toys we’ve got the coolest R/C thing I’ve seen in a while: I’ve got three words for you: Flying. Iron. Man. 14 inches long, reaches heights of 300 feet, super tight control…this is way way cool. It’s $80.00, takes 6 AA batteries and is set to be released in the fall.

Next we’ve got the Iron Man 3 Lego playsets…and they are pretty sweet. We have three sets: Iron Man vs. The Mandarin: Ultimate Showdown ($12.99), Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack ($39.99) and Iron Man: Extremis Sea Port Battle ($19.99). Ultimate Showdown features Iron Man and Mandarin minifigs as well as an armored car with missile launch action. Malibu Mansion Attack features a science-y mansion, helicopter and five minifigs Tony Stark, Mark 42 Armor, Pepper Potts, the Mandarin and Extremis soldier. Finally, the Sea Port Battle set has a speed boat with missiles, an “exploding” buoy and Aldrich Killian, Iron Man with Mark 42 Armor and War Machine with shoulder cannon minifigs.
