He's already selling out on a lot of sites so better order fast.

How much was Iron Man at retail? Does he have die-cast parts to him? I've seen around $70 but that can't be right, can it?

Can anybody tell me if the fire fist accessory from the Ultra-Act Glen Fire figure is compatible with a Marvel Legends Iron Fist?

Ultra man looking a lot like Iron man now.

Guess they wanna jump on that Iron Man / Avengers bandwagon.

does he look like iron man? or has iron man started to look like japanese mecha?

 

[Sevreed]

I think East and West pop culture are influencing each other more and more these days. But for the record, this Ultraman looks more bada$$.

 

[Bardoon]

The Avengers are looking awesome. Much better than Figma's outing.

Anybody bought the kinnikuman figure?

New magazine image with release dates: Captain America & Hulk in July, Iron Man Mark 45 in August and Thor in September:

 

[Angelo2113]

Please tell me I'm wrong in my translations...

Captain America - $52
The Hulk - $80
Thor - $52
Iron Man 45 - $52
Luke - $49/50

I'm planning on purchasing Captain America, skipping The Hulk/Thor, might get Iron Man, and Luke looks unbelievably good.

 

[Bardoon]

They look awesome!

My guess is the license costs on the Avengers give it a slight "bump" price increase...plus some of all the costs associated with the tooling for the unique molds. You know how Tamashii likes to "re-use" old molds and they likely won't get the chance here with these figures.

Good points, Bardoon.

Except Iron Man is a retool of the original Mark 42 mold...but he's still around the same price. It's not terrible, honestly. I'm going all in for the Figuarts either way.

It's so funny how the action figure world has gotten way better in Japan. And it has actually gotten worse here in the United States.

Yeah, they're a bit pricier at around $40-$50 a pop, but the quality is way worth it.

Damn, I was about to say that they aren't that good with human sculpts when I saw cap and Thor, but was amazed when I saw Luke!

That proto has better Hamill likeness than HT Luke!
