As you should already know, Marvel Comics is the next great property to get Kotobukiya‘s ARTFX+ statue treatment, and so of course the first series is none other than the Avengers, specifically the characters as they appear in Marvel Now! We have already seen several of the characters get the ARTFX+ treatment, but now it’s time for the Marvel now Avengers Iron Man ARTFX+ statue to make his big debut.
Created in 1963 by a group of comic book luminaries (including Stan Lee and Jack Kirby), Tony Stark was a rich playboy whose capture during the Cold War led him to create a technologically advanced powered armor suit bristling with weapons and science-fiction gadgets.
Best known for fighting enemies such as Mandarin and Crimson Dynamo, Stark would over the years combat his own personal demons as well, making him a very nuanced and interesting character popular the world over.
While he would continue to improve and upgrade his armors, the brilliant industrialist/hero would also help found the premiere Marvel superhero group the Avengers and fight with them all the way into the current Marvel Now! Universe.
With a fresh start Tony appeared there with a brand new suit of Iron Man armor featuring a sleek design and a bold black and gold color scheme! The Iron Avenger stands at the ready, turned to his side as he raises his right hand to aim a repulsor at the enemy. Iron Man’s armor is intricately detailed with layers, panels, vents, and other technological components like secondary repulsors, and the metallic paint really makes it shine.
He was sculpted by the same master artist who did all of the other Kotobukiya Marvel Now ARTFX+ statues, Junnosuke Abe. The statue stands about 8.5-inches tall (the ARTFX+ 1/10th scale) on his included magnetic display base. Add Iron Man to your collection to complete the full lineup of Marvel Now Avengers ARTFX+ statues. Pre-orders are currently available here.
