Many of you are probably already familiar with Kotobukiya, the company behind some of the finest statues and busts based off of DC, Marvel and Star Wars characters. A little bit of information that most statue collectors seem to overlook is that Marvel Studios works exclusively with Kotobukiya. Regarding their Iron Man line, Stan Winston Studios provides Kotobukiya with the exclusive designs and models to base their statues on. Today, Marvel has finally given a close look at the Mark VI
Iron Man 2 Armor to the general public. It's definitely sleeker, slimmer and a bit more colorful:
Here are the details from the official press release:
Iron Man stands nearly 14 inches tall (1/6th scale) atop an exclusive cylindrical Repulsor Transmitter base. Like the previous Iron Man ARTFX Statues, the Mark VI includes LED lights in the eyes, chest, fists and base! In addition, the Mark VI has been further refined with a stronger LED light sequence, sharper edges on the base, and increased paint applications. The Mark VI constructed of high-quality cold cast porcelain, is individually numbered on the bottom of the base as part of a Limited Edition. An amazing statue on its own, the Mark VI is also a perfect companion piece to the armors from the first film!
MSRP: $174.99; available in August.
