Hot Toys Unveils Iron Man Mark XLII Figure from Iron Man 3

Iron Man 3 will be hitting cinemas in just a matter of months over here in the UK and, as a result, model makers are gearing up to release a selection of collectables more impressive than Tony Stark's arc reactor. Just last week, we covered Hot Toys' superb Tony Stark figure and now the company is back to impress us again with a potentially incredible 12-inch Iron Man Mark XLII 1/6 scale figure in its brand new Power Pose series!

The Power Pose figures will display perfectly alongside the equally impressive Movie Masterpiece and Diorama series from Hot Toys but are semi-articulated, allowing the model to "perform powerful poses, such as flying and battle". Less powerful poses could include "doing the washing up" and "bending down while looking for a lost contact lense" but these have yet to be confirmed.

Due for release in Q2 this year, Power Pose Iron Man will be distributed by Amerang in the UK so keep an eye out for it at Modelzone stores! Here's the full run down of Iron Man's features and some fantastic pictures of the prototype!
