Iron Man 2 Toy Launch Haul
March 8, 2010Launched this morning, the Iron Man 2 toy line set the Megamall Basement Activity center abuzz with geekgasms and willingness to spend. The crowd was really excited for the new toyline and almost everyone was happy to give away their hard earned money in exchange for small plastic figures. The event itself wasn’t much at first, but it everyone who attended didn’t seem to mind, and it did pick up eventually. Everyone was there for the Iron Man toys anyway.
I ran into Slangards and Martin there. Good to see those guys again.
Like a dumb motherfucker, I didn’t bring a camera. I totally regret that decision, especially when the most hardcore group of cosplayers graced us with their awe inspiring presence. I want to spread my legs as wide as I can and punch my testicles as hard as humanly possible.
The cosplay group had Mark IV Iron Man with light-up eyes, a War Machine with a gatling gun that fucking SPINS! Oh, and a Hulk Buster. Yes, a HULK BUSTER! As expected, there were more grown-ups than kids. In fact, I saw some dude push a kid away for a photo-op.
Items launched include 3.75″ figures, the new 10″ Mark VI’s (Mark V seems to be the War Machine), 8″ War Marchine and Mark VI Iron Man figures, Iron Man masks (one is a simple mask and the other has voice) and some old stock Marvel Universe toys. The Hammer Files MU’s were nowhere to be found.
The 8″ War Machines were fucking HOARDED! I saw this MOTHERFUCKER who had a basket FULL of them. Whoever you are, you little shitfaced motherfucker hoarder, I hope a second shipping comes in and your hoarded 8″ figures become WORTHLESS and you’re left with overstocked CRAP, you MOTHERLESS CUNT!!! GAH!
Before I go on to describe my haul, here’s some good news for you collectors out there - Marvel Universe toys have been marked down. From P549.75 or something they are now P449.75! That’s P100 less!
I haven’t unboxed these newly bought babies because I want a good photographer with me when I do. Here’s my haul.
Mark I
From what I can see through the packaging, which is quite good because you can see the figure, its accessories and the cards clearly and with little obstruction, it’s got the best paint apps in the series. Why? Because the Mark I is supposed to be dirty. Almost all the figures have horrid paint apps, and you really have to be careful when you pick out your figs.
It comes with a missle launcher that should resemble a flame thrower, three cards and a stand.
They were abundant. (more…)
