I received the unreleased Iron Man figure, the Iron Man and War Machine mechs today. The unreleased figure first. The figure appears to be based off a mold used for figures from the first Iron Man movie toy line (as well as Iron Man 2 and Armored Avenger lines). Those armors include Heavy Firepower, a hydro armor the name of which escapes me at the moment and Subterranean armors (IM1), as well as Arctic (IM2) and Hulkbuster (AA). Here is a comparison shot. The chest piece is clearly post Mark IV armor compared to the 6" Arctic armor. There is no rear skirt as the 6" figures all have either. No way to know if this would have been included on a final production figure or not. He also came with a unique missile launcher that looks like some sort of flight pack but does not fit in the hole in his back despite having several pegs on it. Back: Front: In fact, the only place the pegs seem to fit are the holes tapped in his feet.... A hoverboard...? Mech pictures to follow shortly.

The Iron Man mech. Not much else I can say about this that I didn't about the War Machine mech. It's awesome to be sure. Someone needs to die for shitcanning these things. As far as weapons go, it came with two mini missile racks for the lower legs as the War Machine mech did and two of the forearm cannons, which makes it look like a mech based on the Power Assault Armor from the IM2 line. There was no figure included with this one, and I didn't have a figure handy to slap in there, if folks wanna see a shot of a figure in there, I'll shoot some. The mini missile racks:

These are times when decision makers at Hasbro really need to be fired. And buttfucked by Michael Clarke Duncan.
Those Mechs look insane. I might get the WM one.

those are pretty bitchin. I'd have bought several of the WM mech... damn... I hate when good stuff like this comes out for a movie and then they flood the stores with the shitty first waves when the movie comes out and then when it comes time to release the awesome stuff interest has waned enough that they shit-can it...

I don't think it's a matter of interest waning, it's the stores fault for over ordering the initial stuff. Guaranteed if you check the numbers for online stores, the later IM stuff did quite well.
