Its TRU: Iron Man 2

February 5th, 2010

The much speculated series of Toys R Us exclusive Iron Man 2 Minimates has been debuted on the Art Asylum website.

The line-up, which seems to follow the newly established 4 sets rule, will be:

  • Mark V Iron Man & War Machine
  • Mark IV Iron Man & Whiplash
  • James Rhodes in Mark II Armor & Black Widow
  • Senate Hearing Tony Stark & Mark I Iron Man

Mark V Iron Man & War Machine (TRU) Mark IV Iron Man & Whiplash (TRU) Mark II Iron Man & Black Widow (TRU) Senate Hearing Tony Stark & Mark I Iron Man (TRU) Iron Man 2 (TRU)

I find it rather interesting that they insist on not showing the Mark V armor, yet they feature the real version of it on the packaging.

Also of interest is the apparent rerelease of the Mark II armor, which was the variant from series 21. Still, I suspect that this armor will differ in more ways than just a different face underneath the helmet. We shall see soon, I suppose.

No word on when these will hit exactly, but odds are they will follow the same time frame that past TRU reveals have, so if you’ve worked out the math for your area, go ahead and start counting the days.

    I think you can make out that the helmet is different to the original one– the same mold as the Mark 4 helmet…

    Apparently, the chest piece of that Mark 2 is still the old one from the first movie, though.

    And if you look in the top left corner of the box window, I do believe that is a “faceplate flipped up” version of the helmet.

    Finally, Scarlet Widow is here! Woohoo!

    meh, I’m kinda getting tired of the Iron Man 2 mates

    Yeah, I’ve got plenty of Iron Man Minimates to last me a while. Scarlet Widow looks good though and I hope we see some further use of that hairpiece. Other than that, I’ll pass on this wave.

    Yawn. Not interested. How about more comic related Iron Man characters? Hey AA, we have enough versions of Iron Man. How about some villains?

    Nice to see updates to this blog!!!!

    Yay, it’s back!

    On Topic:
    I have a nice Lego Ferrari waiting for that Scarlett Johansen minimate…

    lol, It’s not “Scarlet Widow”, It Scarlett Johansen playing “Black Widow”. Personally, I love this news, because now I don’t have to get the IM2 minimates online.

    Great Line-up; with the new packaging-amounts for exclusives we’ve come to see, these should be muh easierto find. Plus, it IS IM2, so you know TRU will make a huge fss about getting in tons of caseloads.

    And, as for the Mk II Rhodie, he has the Mk V’s sculpted Biceps. Check the back-of-the-box picture.

    Senate Hearing Tony Stark? I’m sure it’s a cool mate, but the name sounds like something on CSPAN.

    It’s times like after viewing things like this that I consider suicide…

    God, I want Mark II & BW!
