Is that hot or what? It’s a limited edition, light-up version of the Iron Man helmet from the movie. It was just released. For more images and details click on the image above.

“Sideshow is proud to partner with Stan Winston Studios to create a stunning Iron Man Life-Size bust in celebration of the upcoming Iron Man movie. Iron Man has been captured in 1:1 scale in his unique powered armor, taken directly from the molds used to create the film costume. The bust is cast in high-quality fiberglass, hand finished and hand painted to exacting standards, and features LED light-up glowing eyes. The Life-Size Iron Man Bust is sure to be the centerpiece of any collection, and the perfect complement to any office or home theater.”
If history is any indication, this bad boy will sell out within minutes, but hey, even the picture is pretty to look at. 
Here’s another look:

Awesome, but too pricey for my budget!
heath
Can I wear it?
How do i get the rights to use a Marvel Movie’s actual mold to make replica’s and sell them for rediculous amounts of money. What a scam
LOL, Rob I guess you don’t own ANY collectibles of any kind.
No one forces you to buy anything and some folks (including myself) love this stuff.
Vic
Wow… I want that. :]
That’s Amazing! Love to see a real one.
I couldn’t help myself, I pre-ordered one.
I won’t have to pay for it until it ships this Fall.
Vic
Ok I know sideshow stuff is always really expensive, but holy cow 700 bucks.
Must be rough VIC…..
Mantis,
You think I actually have the money to PAY for this? LOL.
And I’m really glad my wife doesn’t read this site.
Vic
Wow $700.
^
Is that because it lights up….
I’ve always thought if they would bring the price down on some of this stuff they would sell more?
^
Looks cool but they should have included more of his chest gear.
“Wolverine’s image is hot.”
“Iron Man’s bust is hot.”
“I couldn’t help myself.”
Vic, repeat after me. “I am powerless over this infatuation.”
If Robert Downey Jr.’s head is under there, I’ll definitely pony up.
Otherwise…
Is this bust really $700 bucks?
I would maybe spend that much on a REAL size helmet and chest piece. Maybe.
^
I guess since they only make a limited amount of these things there trying to create a high end collectabilty factor???
^
If true,,,
$700 bucks,,,that’s just overpriced even with the lights.
Maybe if it also acted as a Wifi-router then maybe.
^
Looks cool though.
LOL, Jim… I guess I’d better bookmark thesaurus.com here pretty quick.
Steve, yeah, it IS on the very high side. I’ll wait and see how many of these they limit it to AND just how crazy successful the movie is to decide whether I’ll follow through with the order.
But this video makes me feel better about my decision…

This looks to be one of the best pieces Sideshow has created! Any Iron Man fan would be crazy not to buy this item (unless your lacking funds of course!). Depending on how limited it is you will see the price double in aftermarket for sure. Locked in my purchase and I can’t wait! Those that don’t buy now will be sorry. Judging by how fast all the rest of their stuff sells out this one won’t take long.

Vic, my porn blocker won’t let me see past the part when he says “flick the switch.” What happens after that, anyway??
Jim maybe your pornBlocker thinks Iron Man’s not fully dressed?
Steve, it’s actually a homage to a comment (can’t remember the author) from one of my first visits here. I think reacting to the first Iron Man trailer. They said, THIS IS PORN! Hilarious!
Marvel (etc.) knows that it’s porn, and they keep waving it in front of us. We really could use a 12-Step Program.
Porn Blocker isn’t real? Sounds like a V-chip option.

Yeah Jim I remember a few years back there was a store in Burbank Ca. (where I live) called “Creature Features”. They had wall to wall superhero and sci-fi film busts of allmost every character you could think of and some really obscure ones.
^
Problem was they were all pretty expensive. You would think this kind of store would thrive in this town but after about 6+ years they folded up…
RIP Creature Features!
On the contrary Vic,
I have a room just for storing a vast collection of figures from Star Wars Action Fleet (only missing 3 vehicles), nearly the entire Marvel Legends Series minus some of the new Hasbro nonsense, Trek Playmates ships and figures from the early and mid 90s, Transformers from the new movie and Beast Wars, McFarlane Hockey and Jack Bauer Statues, and Toy Biz LOTR. I also have Binders for every Marvel Card Collection that came out between 1990-1997
not very ‘obvious’ that i dont own ANY collectables of ANY kind eh…way to make a wrong assumption jerk
I certainly down own any single item I paid hundreds for because they don’t have much a value for their price…It’s like buying one of them Star Wars Sideshow Collectables of an AT-AT…goodluck re-selling it on ebay, you make get a quarter what you paid.
You know come to think of it I’ve seen a Iron Man bust collection recently that had 3 different versions of Iron Man Armor.
^
They don’t light up but it was priced around $150.
Rob your 1st post reads like a guy that is upset with this collectable “scam” industry, then you reply that you have a whole fricken ROOM full of this crap and Vic is a jerk for replying to your post.
(I think your kind of self hating Rob). Deep down you know you can’t show anyone that room, (except for your close geek friends). That’s cool were all Geeks here. (But Vics no jerk, you kinda sound like maybe a ..?…).
How would Vic know about your room?
^
I envy your secret room Rob, I call mine Public Storage Facility space#246 up on the 3rd floor… Sounds kinda Starfleet-ish huh?
^
Ps
McFarlane Hockey? Haaa haaa (kid from Simpsons)
If it where up to me, I would charge 150.00 and sell a ton of them instad of a limited one that only sells a few. That’s why I stopped collecting when prices went way to high. The painting and details are great as well as the labor went into it… but there’s only about 20.00 worth of actual materials involved, not counting the packaging; add another 2.00. When you do it in bulk the costs are waaay down. Like CD’s are 15.00 and up and the artist only gets about a buck of that. Bring the prices down, sell MORE, make MORE money, make MORE loyal FANS that OOME BACK and buy AGAIN, and AGAIN. Making cents now?
Yes Nkeg, reality strikes back!!
These fricken busts costs less then it does to buy them, BIG TIME.
^
I totally agree!
WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW
to bad i cant sell a body part for one of those….. that is too darn awesome… OMG
Hey Sideshow and Stan Winston!!!
Read this from Jon F from Wondercon (Talking about Iron Man)…
“… He (Jon) then pointed out that it is important that filmmakers maintain a dialogue with fans. The voices of the fans were responsible for getting “Iron Man” this far and keeping it a project that they would want to see.”
Does that sink in a little? We WANT to BUY ALL OF YOUR ‘Collectables’, but if you only make a few, you only make a ‘few’ dollars!
I can’t believe your Accountants (or whoever)presented this pricing for approval:
“We sell 500 at 700.00 bucks each and we’ll make $350,000 bucks!” I would have LOVED to have sat in on that PowerPoint presentation!
It should have been “We sell 5000 at 250.00 bucks each and we’ll make $1,250,000 bucks!”
Hmmmm… do you think that that ‘person’ would still be working for ‘you’ if you owned ‘Sideshow’? I doubt it. Sideshow… Stan… we truly love you but to ‘keep us’ and the ‘product/selling’ wheel turning please give us what we waht! (If it’s not sinking in, please read the beginning again.)
-A sad day at Stark Industries.
The pricing reminds me of this quote: “This is gonna feel like Sex… but it’s not!”
(Feel free to copy this and post it anywhere!)
Ok, so I have a spkelling problem sometimes. My glasses weren’t on. LOL -Stark
Hey Pal!
Just be glad they are making such a beautiful piece.
They haven’t announced an edition size. For all we know they will make 5000 of these at $750 a pop! That’s $3,750,00. How’s that for your power point presentation.
So quit whining and just buy one before there all gone.
I pre-ordered this just cause I know i’ll never tire of owning it. I don’t care about resell value, don’t have any plans to part company with it, even though im not incredibly well off. Its just a thing of beauty.
