Superhero movies mean big business for toy makers, and whenever Marvel releases a new movie, a slew of action figures are made to fulfill everyone’s toy needs. There are the cheap small figures that anyone of any age can play with, and there are also the larger, more expensive, but extremely poseable figures for those who want to seriously play. Then there are the really expensive versions that boast incredible detail and size. This Hulkbuster is one of those ones.
Many toy makers are producing their own version of the Hulkbuster from Avengers: Age of Ultron, but Bandai is taking its time and attaching all the bells and whistles including LEDs and real metal parts.
S.H. Figuarts is Bandai’s elite line of action figures that are aimed at the adult fan since they’re positioned at a higher price point but include more accurate detailing. Starting May 29 at 4 p.m. JST they will begin taking orders, online only, for their version of the Hulkbuster from the new Avengers movie.
▼ Note: Hulk sold separately
This special limited edition is a collaboration with toy company Chogokin, which is known for its metal die-cast figures. This 25-centimeter (9.8-inch) figure will tower over the rest of your collection and features die-cast metal parts and LEDs.
▼ Super poseable!
While reservations are being taken online this month, the figure won’t be ready until approximately January 2016. This limited edition Chogokin x S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark 44 Hulkbuster will cost fans 34,560 yen (US $280)
▼ All the best materials!
▼ A whopping 25 centimeters (9.8 inches)
▼ And LED lights!!!
Those looking to buy this special figure should head over to the Premium Bandai website.
