"Jim Rhodes" headsculpt for 1/4 Super Alloy "Iron Patriot" from Play Imaginative (Seen @ "Become Iron Man" at Bugis Junction)

First the prototype of "Robert Downey Jr." as "Tony Stark" headsculpt was teased at their exhibit for the "Become Iron Man" currently on display at Bugis Junction, now Play Imaginative drops a look at "Don Cheadle" as "Jim Rhodes" from the "Iron Man 3" movie, with this belonging to the 1/4-scaled Super Alloy figure.

"Night Club" Iron Man in 1/12 scale by Play Imaginative (for "Become Iron Man" @ Bugis Junction)

I like the red accents.. to me the accents makes the difference in design…

With a closer look at SHOTGUN just posted, here's a gander at the just revealed NIGHT CLUB Iron Man armor, as seen at the "Become Iron Man" promotional event at Bugis Junction, Singapore (promoting the "Iron Man 3" movie) as showcased by the producers of this 1/12th-scaled figure; Play Imaginative!

And while product availability details are yet revealed, do note that the figure on display is not the final diecast product (in their "Super Alloy" range) and is a painted prototype. And while I am not too keen on this design (versus SHOTGUN), I'll reserve my judgment/choice until I see the final product … the graphics look pretty awesome tho LOL

I actually like it without eye-slits, but I don't think this is the final version lol



Here's a *closer-look (aka *larger images posted ;p) at the SHOTGUN Iron Man Armor - revealed by Play Imaginative, and currently on display at the "Become Iron Man" promotional event at Bugis Junction, Singapore

Seen here is a painted plastic prototype for the 1/12th-scale (6-inch tall) articulated action figure in diecast metal known as "Super Alloy" from Play Imaginative. Past of me feels like this could have been the RoboCop-design the filmmakers should have adopted, rather than the all-Black ensemle for the remake, but that's just me ... nevertheless, I am utterly charmed by the graphic, although tis hard to judge on the figure based on the prototype … but apparently SHOTGUN has yet to be revealed anywhere else in whatever media, so this is pretty much a FIRST LOOK, people!

Tentatively scheduled for a release within 2013, stay tuned for updated product details when they are revealed. Meanwhile, here are the pics!

The Reveal of "Shotgun" & "Night Club" Iron Man Armors in 1/12 scale by Play Imaginative (for "Become Iron Man" @ Bugis Junction)

And while I had covered the launch of the "Become Iron Man" promotional event/exhibition @ Bugis Junction, Singapore - where we get to see 1/4-scaled "Super Alloy" figurines making their display debut from Play Imaginative - today saw the reveal of their 1/12th-scaled line-up of "Super Alloy", with two new Armors never truly seen in any forms of media thus far! Introducing the SHOTGUN and NIGHT CLUB Iron Man armored suits, as seen in "Iron Man 3" feature film!

On display alongside "Mark 42", "War Machine" and "Iron Patriot" (all of whom were earlier "revealed" via online images) - stay tuned while I go watch the movie and update you folks on where these armors could be spotted in the film!

While the prototypes on display are not the final figures and neither are they diecast (but painted plastic prototypes, shown here for display purposes), I am told that they will be articulated and come housed in a box with cut-out foam for the figures. Release is scheduled within this year, so keep bugging your fav retailers for availability details! Without any hyperbole, I am to have at least a couple for my own collection! Can you guess which? ;p

Iron Man Mark XLII: Super Alloy 1/4 Collectible Figure by Play Imaginative (Seen @ "Become Iron Man" at Bugis Junction, Singapore)

Truthfully, I have not been a huge fan of the gold-and-red "Mark XLII" or "Mark 42" Iron Man armor, since it's initial reveal, up until now. Being the "hero suit" of the movie, just about glamorizes it, and over-blings it a tad too much … but seeing Pepper Potts donning the armor made more sense if indeed the suit belonged to HER, you know? Nevertheless, looks like it sure is here to stay, at the very least for the coming "Iron Man 3" movie…

Seen on display from Play Imaginative at the "Become Iron Man" promo exhibition currently on at Bugis Junction, Singapore, is this 1/4th-scaled "Super Alloy" articulated figure, in diecast metal! An "Exclusive Edition" is currently available for pre-orders (details here) priced at SGD$750 (Retail) - the figure comes along with interchangeable "battle damaged" armor pieces, and FIVE headsculpts - including this "Tony Stark"-likeness of actor Robert Downey Jr (from Sideshow Freaks / Image posted by "R3d15") - for a tentatoive September 2013-release.

The suit looks pretty awesome seen here, I have to admit tho ...
