Finally we get a detailed look at the project that involves Silly Thing, Marvel Studios and Hot Toys. Together they created the Iron Man Mark III “TK” Edition.

Well known American comic establishment Marvel occasionally collaborates with other labels, but it is the very first time that they have authorized an original customized version of its characters. A collector of Iron Man, TK is taking the 1/6 Mark III (as released earlier) as a base for this special edition. The ‘battle damaged’ paint, as suggested by TK, is a rare production. What’s more, this particular paint is not compatible with the original Mark III parts in plastic, therefore all parts must be tailor-made from scratch in the new color way. The construction of Mark III is nothing less than complex, mixing durable ABS plastic with more elastic material. The process is proved to be harder than creating the original Mark III model, in terms of construction and production. The toy will be released on July 4th.
