I found the series 2 Comic series figures today in Canada! Picked them all up except for the horned helmet Iron Man, which I'll likely end up going back for later. Great bunch of figures, loving the Titanium man the most of the lot. As I said in my earlier post, I'm really impressed with the comic series line. Looking forward to the next wave with Iron Monger and the Silver Centurion armor.

In other news, here's some new ones for the movieverse line....

Kind of meh, though the movie style hulkbuster is kind of cool.

Yeah, besides the obvious resculpts I can't think of too much else I'd want from TPM, although I'm down for any of the more unique looking aliens if Hasbro ever makes em. Loves me some aliens.

1. Mosep
2. Reegesk
3. Tzzvzzt
4. Baniss Keeg
5. Solohmal
6. Arleil Schous
7. SA Rebel Fleet Trooper
8. Yerka Mig
9. Garouf Lafoe
10. Saitor Kal Fas

Would be nice if the 7th figure (assuming there is one) was Poison Ivy. Then this wave would be absolutely perfect.

Do you have any plans to release some Hammer Drones in the Iron Man 2 line? The line is severely lacking villains for Iron Man to fight and there seems to be several different drone designs.

Finally found myself a movie War Machine and Mark V today, great little figs. Word is the 6" figures are starting to hit as well.

I hear yas on the messed up case assortments and it's a bit worrisome since this is a line that could potentially last a while if handled correctly. I can certainly understand Hasbro wanting to keep Iron Man out there, but I really don't understand their (and apparently many other toy companies) aversion to having villains available at all times as well. I know Whiplash isn't the most exciting looking baddy from a visual perspective, but what kid wouldn't want a bad guy for his Iron Man to fight? I suppose maybe some kids are content with simply an army of Iron Men so they can have a little Tony Stark fashion show, but I would think most kids like to have the whole good vs evil dynamic in their play patterns, I know me and my siblings did as kids. I'm really hoping Hasbro didn't miss the boat on this front too because from what I've seen there's a number of different Hammer Drone designs that would make great additions to this line and provide some bad guys for the kiddies as well and I just have to wonder why they aren't available or even announced?

My biggest concern though is how similar a lot of the Iron Men on the pegs are, between the Mark III, IV and both versions of the VI there's the potential for a huge glut of red and gold armors on the pegs. I can't see too many parents or kids seeing the need for more than one of the gold armors, since the differences probably aren't that noticeable to a casual buyer. Hopefully this isn't the case, and I have hopes since the first Iron Man line sold so well despite all the crazy armor variants. Time will tell, really hope they make some of those hammer drones though, maybe even a Titanium Man in the smaller scale like the one in the 6" line just to flesh out the Rogues Gallery a bit.

I picked up a Thanator beast today on sale just to check it out, gotta say I really like it. It's got a nice solid sculpt and good paint apps to bring out the detail, which surprised me, since I was just expecting a big lump of unpainted black plastic. The articulation could benefit from some ball joints at the shoulders but I can live without. Overall a really cool beastie, would fit in well in any Star Wars environment I would think.
