Life-Size Iron Man 3D Wall Figure from Bandai Japan
July 23, 2014 by 3 Comments
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:
