Iron Man Fine Art Statue

Kotobukiya has announced their first inaugural release of Marvel Comics merchandise today. The item spotlights the smash-hit feature film IRON MAN, bringing the collectible armored hero to 3-D life just as Robert Downey Jr did with Tony Stark in the film.

Inspired by the original promotional one-sheet for the film, the armored avenger stands tall as 1/6th scale Fine Art Statue (approximately 13 inches tall). Stan Winston Studios fabricated the suit for the film based on designs by comic artist extraordinaire Adi Granov, and every detail of Iron Man�fs Mark III armor has been faithfully replicated by the craftsmen at Kotobukiya. Kotobukiya has been working from reference provided by Marvel Studios, the level of mechanical detail is matched only by the personality conveyed by Iron Man�fs heroic stance.

Manufactured in cold cast porcelain and coated with metallic paint, the Iron Man Fine Art Statue even features multiple LED lights: eyes, Repulsor Ray palms, and the Unibeam on his chest. The base is ornamented with a sculpted Iron Man film logo on a three-dimensional realization of his chest symbol, and painted in the Mark I color scheme. Each statue is individually numbered on the bottom of the base as part of a Limited Edition.

Sculpted by Kouei Matsumoto, this museum ready statue is the debut of the first SEASON of goods, which will incorporate collectibles from all films Marvel Studios will release in the calendar year, such as THE INCREDIBLE HULK and PUNISHER: WAR ZONE.
