The Third Dimension: Tales of Suspense

Comics are not out until tomorrow, thanks to the holiday last week, so here is some three-dimensional goodies to tide us all over. Check out my Iron Man movie toy swag!

Who's a cool exec with a heart of steel? Why, it's the Golden Avenger himself, Iron Man, of course!

Who would challenge the mechanical might of our hero? From deep behind the Iron Curtain, a rival emerges! Straight from Siberia, it's that roughouse Russian Boris Bullski, AKA: Titanium Man!

Both of these toys are quite nifty. The Iron Man Mk.III armor design from the movie is excellent, and translates well to action figure scale. The Titanium Man armor, which is seen in the video game adaptions, is a cool take on the classic green duds that Boris rocks in the 4 Color world. I like the gunmetalish grey with the green trim, which makes the armor a little less colorful for this movie-esque application, but still pretty easily reconizable as T-Man. There's no mistaking him for Crimson Dynamo, or Force, for example. Very happy with both of these purchases!

SHOWDOWN ON THE COFFEE TABLE! Who will survive this titanic struggle?!

Legendary Comic Book Heroes

I was reading New Excalibur last night when I came across a two-page spread for the upcoming Legendary Comic Book Heroes line from Marvel Toys (formerly Toy Biz). Color me impressed!

I don't keep up on toy news very much anymore, so these were new to me. There's some weird choices in there, but you know what I am jonesing for: Judge Dredd!

Even more insane is the fact that JUDGE DEATH is there as well!

I'm very psyched about those two toys. Judge Dredd is a personal favorite of mine, even if 2000 AD is hit or miss from the "finding it to purchase" aspect in the US. Hopefully there will be a third wave featuring Shadowhawk!
