From the official Marvel Studios press release:


To celebrate the release of IRON MAN 2, fans of the blockbuster film IRON MAN will be able to own props and costumes seen in IRON MAN when Marvel Studios makes them available to the highest bidder at an auction held during C2E2 (Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo) at McCormick Place in Chicago, April 16 – 18, 2010. Tony Stark’s Convoy Missile, the Hero Schematic Drawings of Mark I drafted inside the cave, Hero Completed Mark I Mask and Iron Man Hero Mark II RT Unit will be among nearly 225 IRON MAN props made available at the auction produced by Propworx Inc., the leading provider of high-end auctions for the film and television industry.

Those unable to attend the live auction in Chicago will be able to take part online in real time at PropWorx. Following the live auction in Chicago, other IRON MAN collectable items will be made available to fans on eBay.

“It is always great to involve our fans in the making of our films and now we have the chance to allow them to take a piece home with them,” stated Jordan Hudson, Marvel Studios’ Director of Production Operations. “IRON MAN has already proven to resonate with moviegoers all over the world and now each of them has the chance to own some of the greatest items seen in the film just a few weeks before the continuation of Tony Stark’s adventures in IRON MAN 2.”

Earning over $585 million in worldwide box office, IRON MAN lifted off in theatres on May 2, 2008 with high-speed, high-flying action when jet-setting industrialist Tony Stark survived an unexpected attack in enemy territory and escapes by building a high-tech robotic suit of armor. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man. Straight from the pages of the legendary comic book, Iron Man is a hero who is built—not born—to be unlike any other.

The highly anticipated sequel, IRON MAN 2, starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, John Slattery, Mickey Rourke and Samuel L. Jackson., will be released on May 7, 2010 in the U.S.. In addition to IRON MAN 2, Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including THOR on May 6, 2011, THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA on July 22, 2011, and THE AVENGERS on May 4, 2012.

Lee, if they gave it away, two things happen
1. People bitch if they weren't one of the selected few who would receive swag
2. More than 3/4 of those that got said swag would turn around and sell it to the highest bidder

Put the props in DisneyWorld, so everyone can enjoy seeing them in person take pics with them,etc. Hopefully they incorporate the Marvel properties into rides soon like at Universal Studios Orlando. From my understanding the ones that are locked into contracts there can't be used at Disneyworld in Orlando but can be used in Disneyland California and Euro-Disney.

@SuperPowered: I agree with you. Maybe they can distribute the props to various parks. Also, have some held back for when/if Marvel ever has that park in Dubai. Maybe even put a prop or two in Kevin Feige's Office at Marvel Studios. ^_^

You can order their hardcover catalog from the website. It's only like $40.00! That's almost extortion.

Multi, what caliber round would it take to do that to the face plate? That is so awesome, if I knew it was going for less than $100 I'd snag it (dreams).

@ myth and multi

maybe i'm missing something, but in the movie, iron monger ripped Stark's helmet off and crushed it with his hand. i'm assuming this is that prop and they did something similar to get that effect??
