TOY NEWS FOR 8/28/2013 - PLAY IMAGINATIVE - SUPER ALLOY - 1/4 SCALE - IRON MAN 3 - WAR MACHINE MARK II

There are so many figures of this version of War Machine, all coming from different companies, it almost makes me think that there was a version of the film in which Rhodey still appeared as War Machine, and in this armor. But in the final film, he didn't, and we never saw War Machine, only Iron Patriot.

Anyway, this version of War Machine is going to be massive. 1/4 scale-- which means about 18"+. And not only that, but it's part of Play Imaginative's Super Alloy series, meaning that it's comprised mainly (85% to be exact) of diecast, so you can only imagine the weight of this thing!

This figure will have all the bells and whistles you've come to expect from these kind of high-end figures, including full articulation, extra hands and light-up features-- which are controlled by remote! So no more having to pick your figure off the shelf to find all those little switches to turn on the lights in order to "oooh and ahhh" your jealous friends! (Hot Toys-- do this NOW!!!)

It also features a secondary head sculpt featuring a great likeness of Don Cheadle! 

This figure-- along with the Iron Man "Starboost" armor-- stand as just the first salvo of Play Imaginative's rather extensively planed 1/4 Super Alloy Iron Man collection.

This figure is set for a December release at a very, very hefty $609.99
