SR Pick [Collectibles]: Half-Scale Iron Man Mark III Maquette

I love Iron Man, and based on the current poll on the right, so do most Screen Rant readers. So if you’re a fan of the movie and have a spot to display something big (and plenty of room on your credit card), you’re going to love this: It’s a 1/2 scale (yes, one half scale) replica of the Iron Man Mark III armor from the film.

It comes from Sideshow Collectibles, who we’ve highlighted here before due to the awesome products they carry and the quality of what they choose to select for their site. The actual creator of this piece is a little company called Legacy Effects. Never heard of them? You might recognize them by their former name: Stan Winston Studios.

This half-scale maquette was used to develop the original screen-used costume. Sideshow collaborated with Legacy Effects to create this for collectors, capturing the awesome detail of Iron Man‘s armor. Each piece is individually painted and finished, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product.

This bad boy stands about 40 inches tall and is crafted from polystone, fiberglass, metal and other materials to best recreate the Iron Man armor as authentically as possible. It includes LED light-up eyes and heart to add realism. The Iron Man Mark III Half-Scale Maquette is an awesome Iron Man collectible, if you can afford it. :)

Check out some pics of it below.

It’s 40″ H (1016mm) x 20″ W (508mm) x 20″ L (508mm) and weighs 25 lbs (11.34 kg). That’s almost 3 1/2 feet tall… The price tag? $1,949. If I had a spot for it and my wife let me, this would be mine. :)

  1. Holy crap that looks awesome.

  2. Some lucky little person is going to buy that and wear it.

  3. that is just complete awesomeness!

    i have the money to get it, but i am sure i will get divorce papers if i buy it…

  4. Cool, but I’ll stick with the less expensive (but still expensive in their own right) Hot Toys movie Marvel stuff.

  5. That looks very cool.

  6. I wonder when they’ll see an actual size one… that you could wear

  7. Wives are there to stop us buying “fripperies”, Vic – and we’re there to stop them buying shoes! And failing, by and large.

    Glad they seem to have got rid of the silver “collarbones” for the suit in IM2. They just looked like a couple of strips of Meccano bolted on as an afterthought.

    LOL, Ryan Squid! We’re off to see the Whiplash…

  8. I’d love to get it but it’s not in my future.
