Cool exec, heart of steel, now at Toys'r'us

[kayevcee]

First set of Iron Man movie toys showed up at Toys'r'us today. They included the first wave of figures and the helmet/repulsor gauntlet roleplay kit. The repulsor is a decent looking disc launcher that fits over the hand and the helmet is really just a mask, albeit a fairly nice one. The figures come in a case of 10 (why?) and break down as follows:

3 x Tony Stark in Mark 3 Armour (red/gold traditional look)
2 x Tony Stark in Mark 2 Armour (similar design, metallic silver)
2 x Tony Stark in Mark 1 Armour (built in a shed in Afghanistan)
2 x Tony Stark with removable mask & gauntlets (mark 3 armour)
1 x Iron Monger (the villain of the piece, twice the weight of others)

Yes, 9 of the 10 figures in wave 1 are the main character. It's an almost Mattelesque assortment from Hasbro this time, although it's still one villain more than the first wave from Superman Returns. Still, at least ol' Tony actually shows up wearing all this stuff at different points in the film. No equivalent of "Street Luge Batman" yet.

Yet.

The only Iron Man figure I want is Iron Man 2020 and in a two pack with Machine Man.

Make it so Marvel!

Now, see I would go for a Red-and-Silver armoured version, preferably two-packed with a comics-version Iron Monger (with removable helmet to reveal his scowling bald visage of course).

I want the one with the roller skates that was in Secret Wars.
