Unboxing the Figure

As one of the iconic suits that appeared in the Iron Man 3 movie, Iron Man Mark XLII has captured fans’ attention with its special and unique design. Meticulously crafted based on the image of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Mark XLII in Iron Man 3, the movie-accurate 1:4 scale Mark XLII collectible figure stands approximately 49 cm tall.

It features a battle-damaged Tony Stark helmeted headsculpt and an interchangeable helmeted head with LED light-up function, in addition to specially applied metallic gold, red, and silver colors on armor with weathering effects, a number of interchangeable battle-damaged armor parts, a battery booster Tony Stark used to recharge the armor as seen in the film, LED light-up functions on eyes, arc reactor and repulsors. Finally, the LED-lighted components shine through various areas of armor.

Plus, the deluxe version will exclusively include an Arc Reactor-themed diorama figure base with LED light-up function and detachable gantry arms.

Iron Man Mark 42, Iron Man 3

Reeling from the post-traumatic effects of the attack on New York, Tony Stark is faced with another growing threat: deadly bombings by the Mandarin’s terrorist network. Iron Man issues a threat to the Mandarin and, in retaliation, his home is attacked. The Mark 42 suit whisks him away to Tennessee, where Tony gathers forces and constructs a plan to engage with the Mandarin as well as Extremis, a failed program from his past.
