Iron Man 2 Toys
Brian:
I thought I read somewhere that the official "street date" for these is supposed to be March 1st, although that might be wrong. I think our local TRU had these at some point as well, but all I saw were the Super Hero Squad 3 packs when I last visited. Are both the movie and comic figures showing up now? I'm debating how many of these to get. There are a lot of cool Iron Man armors from the comics that would be tempting (and some villains), and I know I'll at least get the Iron Man and War Machine from the movie line (and maybe the Iron Men from the previous movie, we'll see). I noticed that WM is supposed to get a 6" line (exclusive), so I may look to those instead (or in addition to).

Dang, I knew I should have posted a thread on this...lol
Anyway, earlier this week I found some of these too. Not the good ones like shmashwitdaclub found.
I only found the classic IM, stealth, crimson dynamo and 1st appearance IM.
I'm getting one of each one of these. I want to make an IM hall of armor and these will fit very nicely into my idea.
When I make dioramas, I tend to deal with the disparage of scale by making the dioramas "skewed" perspective. That is to say that larger items will be in the front and smaller ones in the back but the diorama made in such a way that when you look at it, it still looks as though the smaller items are in scale. Angled elements help greatly with this effect and it's something I'll use for the IM Hall of Armor.
shmashwitdaclub:
Yeah, I am very frugal in my collecting since I buy so much (I collect SW, GI Joe, and Marvel all in 3 3/4 scale - used to do IJ too) - so I gotta watch out for overlapping releases of figures and I don't open most anything until months after I get it and keep all my receipts - its hectic - but its how I role.
For this line I am watching out for those IM2 exclusive whatever light up base things that Target is going to have. IIRC the models in wave 1 (implying the possibility for further waves?) as shown on the TF slide were Mark IV, VI, and Warmachine. So, while I am not certain how different, or if I want Mark IV, or VI, Warmachine may very well be a duplicate - so I am not certain if I will get/keep a single card release.
JediJman:
I picked up a couple of IM2 toys at TRU as well about a week ago. No sign of the comic ones, but I nabbed IM Mark I, II, III, Hypervelocity and Stealth armor. I think I got a 6th - Extremis armor maybe? I could not bring myself to buy the standard red and gold because the paint was so bad and the underwater armor was just too silly for me as well. I'm most looking forward to War Machine and Crimson Dynamo.
I'm hoping to track down the Target Exclusive armor cylinders as well. Even if there are only 3 figs, it would be cool to buy extra and display all the armors that way. DR - I like the idea of the 6" Monger displayed with these - I may have to nab one of those.
I ahven't opened mine yet, but didn't see anything from the outside that resembled clone cash or any other coupons.
Neal:
I picked up the Mark III Iron Man, Iron Monger, Crimson Dynamo, and War Machine today at TRU. They had the other movie, concept, and comic series figures from the initial waves, but I passed on them. I may have to eventually get the Mark I Iron Man.
