Hasbro Marvel Legends: Iron Man Electronic Helmet

ironmansuit00It is time for me to upgrade my “cosplay” Halloween Iron Man costume.  As you can see from the picture above – that Iron Man helmet barely fit me and yes it’s for kids, but I made it work using red duck tape to help expand the helmet because my head is too big.

Now Marvel will be producing “adult” role play gear.  This new Iron Man helmet is badass.  This is great for people who want to cosplay but don’t have time to make their own Iron Man helmet.  This is the Marvel Legends Series:  Iron Man Electronic Helmet with LED light eyes and sound effects.

Life-Size Iron Man 3D Wall Figure from Bandai Japan

bandaijapanironmanwallposter

This is freaking cool – a life-size Iron Man Mark VII Hall of Armor 3D Wall Figure by Bandai Japan in collaboration with Marvel. Officially a 72 inch (!) scale figure, the whole piece has a height of 6.4 feet, a width of 3.1 feet, and a depth of 0.85 feet (which the product description states as “relatively compact”). Other facts: the whole piece is pretty light at nearly 10 lbs, it’s free standing but they recommend the buyer to tie it to a wall, and that it runs close to $400.00USD for this figure. Heck, at that price, I think I can save up for one! Just forego the Mocha Lattes at Starbucks for a couple of months!

Here’s some product videos below (in Japanese) but you’ll at least be able to see more details of the actual Wall Figure:
