Marvel Studios’ big screen adaptation of Marvel’s legendary Super Hero Iron Man will land in movie theaters nationwide on May 2, 2008. But fans of Iron Man and the Marvel Comics Universe will not have to wait that long for the action to launch! On March 23, 2008, Hasbro, Inc. will introduce its line of Iron Man toys to support the first Marvel Super Hero flick of the year.

The toy line features items for kids who are just discovering the Iron Man fantasy as well as for diehard collectors. Highlights from the line-up include the awesome IRON MAN N.R.F. 425 BLASTER to enhance every child’s Iron Man roleplaying experience, as well as AIR STRIKE IRON MAN, a figure that takes to the skies with the ease and grace of the movie’s hero.

Iron Man movie director Jon Favreau sent along a video message to Toy Fair goers last week saying how excited he was about this new toy line from Hasbro and that is was so cool to be part of a movie that had things like this so tightly connected to it.
