The announcement ofRobert Downey Jr.’s return to Marvel from San Diego Comic-Conshattered the internet in a way that few other reveals have, and now Hot Toys is commemorating one of his earlier designs. Theofficial Hot Toys Instagramunveiled the first-look images at Iron Man’s new MK II figure based on his appearance inthe firstIron Manmoviebefore he changes the suit to a gold-titanium alloy to solve the icing problem and throws"a little hot rod red"in there to be extra discreet. The figure is a distinct chrome that Tony sported only once, and it even includes an LED light-up design for his chest arc reactor, an interchangeable Iron Man helmet that allows the owner to see Tony Stark’s face, and interchangeable armor parts that allow for different parts of the armor to be on display.

This figure came not longer afterHot Toys paid tribute to Ray Stevenson’s Baylan Skoll, one of the highlights ofAhsoka, with a new Hot Toys figure featuring his signature orange lightsaber and dark robes. Hot Toys also ventured to the world ofJohn Wickfor another recent figure, releasinga new Caine collectible based on Donnie Yen’s appearance inJohn Wick: Chapter 4ahead of his own looming spin-off film.
