アイアンマン

i dropped by a toy shop yesterday and am very tempted to buy the mark III. got to plan my budget for next month.

Those are some sexy Iron Man figures

So I miss read the bit about 22 yen off, thinking it was being sold for 22 yen and I was like "what is the catch!?" Went to the website and than I was like "opps read it wrong". Bad eyes are bad sometimes. Need new glasses I think (especially since the 1 year old nephew had a field day with them the other day)

Speaking of bad eyes, I seemed to miss any mentioned of that awfully intimidating camera in the bottom picture. I assume a present from those nice folks you worked with recently ?

Your little play was awesome xD Iron man was owned twice over. The Evangelion watch is awesome, but too expensive for my tastes.

I might need to pick up one of those Iron men some time. Probably the MK III.

Silver Iron man looks amazing...I really need that Queen blade angel...It's not often you see polka dotted pantsu.

I love the MK II too.
Probably because it's design gives it a realistic, mechanical feel to it.
The Valkyries from Frontier is also my favorite because of it's natural look in it's Battroid mode. You can't even tell which part makes up a part of it's Fighter mode.

looking forward to see if they gonna make EVA watch, EVA-W00 and EVA-W02.

irom man in one of my most fav characters on marvel universe, losing only to spider man, he rocks!
WOW! a nikon camera! Danny is getting SAFS of anything now! maybe more companies will call you to make more CMS! Gambare Danny san!

Indeed these are boys toys, that valkyrie looked really nice, and the RX-78 looks to be all shaded. I'm not so into marvel heros but Iron Man is one that stands out.
That wrist watch is very sweet, i'll probably have to order one in, but it looks to be more of a kids item.

I love Ironman. Can't wait for Ironman 2 next year and I would love both the MKII and MKIII.

MK II is still looking as badass as ever and I still want one. >.<
Poor Iron Man(men?) got their heads torn off...bad Ryomo! :P

That watch looks okay I guess, but not at all worth that price IMO.

That Valkyrie is really awesome!

For the price of those Iron Man figures, I could save up another couple hundred and just get a Dollfie. >.> Still, the level of detail on them is really quite commendable, given that most action figures made from American material and/or geared towards Americans are presumed to be for kids under ten and thus have terrible quality.

Ryomou seems to have an odd sense of. . . coy violence. I don't know how else to put it! It's hilarious though.

I don't know Iron Man, never readed any comic nor seen any series. I wouldn't even recognize it if you don't mention his name. But the photos where incredible, I like the silver one too.

I like those theaters xD
And definetively, my fav item is the Evangelion watch. *want*

My favorite has to be the Iron Man Mk II. He looks a lot better without color in mu opinion. Feels like more of a robot.

Now all you need is Mk 1 to complete the collection! Hot Toys is definitely one of the best action figure makers right now. Their Dark Knight set is awesome as well. The Iron Man game was rather terrible, I'd recommend staying far away from it.

WOW!! Those Ironmen are awesome! Very high-quality looking! AND a new camera!! One of my coworkers just bought the D5K and it takes AWESOME pictures.

WARMACHINE SHOULD PLAY BY TERRY CREW (EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS) OR MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN (THE SCORPION KING)

The part where iron man gets "horny" is just so wrong. O_O

Little did I know the Iron Men featured were so detail.. No wonder they cost a bomb and sold out in a jiffy.

the one that i want the most would be d5000 but it's not on the list :P.
want to hear your opinion about d5000 soon

I picked up one of those that Danny just reviewed up there. Care to guess which one?

Personally I like Mk. III better since that red & gold looks so much better. Mk. II just look like an unpainted, unfinished figure :P

I'd love to do reviews too, but somehow I don't feel qualified to do them. I guess giving my opinion is something I can do, plus there are so many figure reviews out there and always seem to be first before I'd do my review -.-

My fave item has to be the D5000... HAHAHA...
Next would be the Iron Man Mk II... Love the less slick build of the armour... And it looks more like how Iron Man should be! Cos iron somehow connotes a more base or less sophisticated metal... than say, steel? And the gloss on Mk III really makes it look "plastic-ky"...

Once I get payed I'm so getting that Mk 3. After I get a TV and a PS3, and Dolfie...I wonder if will earn enough...

I also have a Kotobukiya Iron Man, it is sweet!!!

Mark II looks gorgeous. the internals near the shoulder joints could use a little more detailing though.

As for the vf-25, I hate it's transformation sequence (worst ever for a valk). The pilot and cockpit sit on the battloids arse(nal).

You should hold more contests for giveaways for all the crap not deemed worthy. We poor peasants will take something over nothing any day. Make it happen, good sir!

iron man should do kira pose, and concentrate alllll energy onto that palm!

Sweet figures, awesome quality.

Oh what awesomeness. A bit too expensive for me though :( Iron Man definitely looks amazing though.

Oh, you got that Evangelion watch? It really looks amazing.

why do i always feel much younger when i read danny's post hm :/

Wow, both MK II and MK III look really cool. I feel same way as Danny and somehow prefers MK II over MK III for some reason :P

I can't wait for Iron Man II movie but too bad that Terrence Howard won't be back as he promised on first movie (remember his phrase when he saw MK II, "Next time, baby!"?).

I admire such integrity for your fans!

I love reading your reviews on products especially the Panasonic Lumix LX3

and I'm rather excited about the up coming Nikon D5000 review

Really nice figures.

I'm wondering if the MK III is the same figure of the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywu1DeqXTg4

Out of this batch, I think I want the camera. If you ever wanna retire the D5000... or the LX3... or the KISS2, I'll be happy to take them off your hands.

so want to get those but too expensive for me

Not really interested in any of them, but really nice figures, toys, and gadgets you got. I'm just wondering, have Canon ever contacted you to do something like shooting a commercial? Just wondering since you were a Canon user before.

Ironman looks awesome, all of them. RVF-25 Valkyrie is pretty nice too, tho i still like the design from the original series better.

Would love to get my hands on that camera. Looking forward to the review.

LOL Ironman..damn $$$!! T.T

I prefer MK II over the other Ironmans. I don't really like the coloring of the other Ironmans, gold and red just doesn't fit.

i like the MKII. has got really good metallic feel to it than the other ones. with a little bit of brown weathering he will look awesome. nikon d5000. will have to read about it in some popular photoblogs to know whether to buy it or not.

danny can you put eyepatch on ryomo ???

kukuku looks like your daughters had body swaps lol nice!!!

Awesome review Danny. I'm glad that your reviews are the way they are, and I wouldn't change them a bit.

Loved Puchi Dollfie Theater! XD
Ah, and funny you mentioned the Eva watch! I posted about the Eva sneakers in member news yesterday. All these Eva accessories! XD What's next? Eva clothes? (not with characters on shirts or anything, but I mean with the general matching colors of the Eva 01 like the shoes) LOL

Awesome photo article, loved all the pics.

that forearm rocket launcher is awesome...very cool feature

Am not a big fan, but I really like the overall look on these figures

it must be tiring to receive so many goods in one week. but still, i do believe u still dust ur figures from time to time.. ^_^

Iron Man Mk-II looks the coolest

I think it's great that you only give your honest opinion in your reviews, much appreciated :)

Iron Man MK II looks awesome, the wrist mounted pop-up blaster is a pretty nifty feature too.
But wow, that's a lot of yen... O_____O

Although the Eva watch really pleased me, I do have to say that the Iron Man MK II did interest me a great deal. You get the feeling of a "tribute"-style statue with it. The display style of the watch should totally be imported, though.

That iron man sure is pimping, awesome rich theatrical show.
Ryomo gorgeous as always.
Nice wrist watch as well.

I am finding this century to be funny.

On Doctor Who, Tom Baker (June 1974- March 1981) was said to be the best Doctor. Then on June 2005, David Tennant came aboard and ended up becoming the best.

On James Bond, Sean Connery (1962-1967) was said to be the best version of 007. Then in 2006, many ended up saying that Daniel Craig is the best version of 007.

And now, I am hearing that Macross Frontier is the best. Better than the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross.

So yeah... Out of everything, minus the camera, it has to be the Valkyrie that I'd like to have (if given a choice). But I do, however, need a new camera... As I love taking certain kind of photos... And think that I could do better with a Nikon than a more portable Sony Cybershot. :3

Woohoo MK-II is kickass but the price is kickass aswell xD

MK II is nice but I like the fully colored version since the color keep me thinking it's war machine rather than iron man...lol Ryomo and double decapitation fatality...This article seems so much more explicit since I don't remember the last time you used "nipples" and "crotch" in the same article...and well yeah what keeps bringing me back is that these articles are written from personal feelings and experiences that you think is worth your and your reader's time and not writing what someone tells you to...so keep up the great work Danny!

Well , looks like the Japanese like Ironman more than any other comic superheroes . I personally wouldn't buy a Batman or a Superman figure though because of there Dolphin.

Argh, Mark II! T_T

Amazing figures those are. Still prefer anime girlies though ^^

Wow, what an awesome lineup of toys! The iron mans are sweet, but man that Chogokin VF from Frontier is amaaaazing. I got the Michael version (the blue one, also known as the VF-25G with the sniper rifle), and it's also great. A tad hard to transform, and I also don't like super parts, but an amazing toy, that looks good in all modes. Thought that to be impossible. Can I post a link? Not sure if it's okay, but here's a pic of the VF-25G http://www.flickr.com/photos/cocoia/3534781664/

That Eva watch is sweet. Would like that, but 25K yen O_O?

The Iron man figures are cool, but i don't like the look of the watch too expensive.

lol Nanael with iron man's helmet!

Look what DC.com did to my brain! Out of the whole bunch Dollfie Ryomo is the most attractive item surprisingly for me now.
Nice details on those ironman figures. Too bad that I prefer to spend my money on moemoe figures ^_^

Is it just me or does the Eva-watch look really cheap? Just like some random plasticesque watch.

Iron man figures seem to be very well made, need the MKII + III *3* oh, and about the game, I played the demo once and won't never launch it again. not playable at all, it's like playing an action air combat game, without planes, without a joystick, but with a rusty robot. game to forget, definitely. and talking about planes, I like the design of Macross jet too, reminds me the famous F-14 Tomcat <3

Cool iron man~~!!! quite detail & big, but i'm not into iron man anyway.. but the eva watch sure looking nice but the plastic make it look cheap~~~ the display is cool! ^^ Nikon Gave u a D5000!! huhu nice cam ^^

I cracked up laughing out loud seeing Iroman MK II & MK III consequence after touching Ryomo's oppai~~~

Their head fit pretty well on the figure, LMAO!

Wow, you got the EVA watch already, be careful not to go into berserk mode~~~~~

Nikon D5000, is it a gift from your Nikon ads?

The Iron Man models look great. Are you a comic book fan, Danny?

Missile can't harm Ironman but Ryomo can cut through their head easily?! Design flaw!!! LOL XD

Can't wait for that Nikon D5000 review~ x_x

three ironmans cool

The Evangelion wrist watch did seem cool and a potential get (or at least replacement for my dead watch) but I found something else that caught my attention instead... ^^;

http://www.100per.com/items/item01.html

The ¥22 discount was entertaining. Discount just for the sake of saying it was discounted, I guess?

I'm not even a fan of Iron Man, but those figures look great, especially the two from Hot Toys. The detail on them is amazing.

Nice watch Danny, also the Iron Man figures are quite good ^^

great figures

I want that watch..:3

DAT WATCH *drools*

super details

I'm not really into figures but those Iron Man ones look really cool. I'd definitely like one of those.

The watch has a ridiculous price. I can't believe that it is more expensive than the Iron Man figure...

Can't wait for the Nikon D5000 review. Had a feeling Nikon would send you something good. HeHe ^_^

Awesome! I saw a few more 1/6 Scale (and really shiny) models of the different Iron Man Suits. They cost around 23,000 Yen or something around that price here in the Philippines. They look so tempting.. If I were an Ironman fan, I would definitely get them.

There are also 1/1 Busts of the modern IronMan Model and a 1/1 Replica Helmet of the Iron-y Ironman in the movie. xD

Kewl, not sure I'd buy them tho.
The watch looks very cool but I've never watch EVA before, isit worth it?

LOL'd @ Puchi Dollfie Theater.
I just got the DVD ver. of Iron Man that i still haven't got around to watch yet.. I'll probably get to it sometime this week.

I really, really want that watch. It just emanates awesome.
A free Nikon D5000... how long it would take for me to save up for one of those... =(

mark III, valkyrie...*blip* must...*blip* buy...

Don't I repeat don't try the Iron-Man game it's totally buggy and unpolished... very bad...

hmm......need to make up some time to watch marcross......the mechas seem too cool to ignore

mmm iron man MkIII looks amazing, too bad is quite expensive XD. Sadly the video game was quite bad, i tried the demo and the controls weren't responsive enough...it had good graphics though. Also, Danny we are really grateful that you are thinking about us, the readers ^^

iron man video game not so good - try demo first before buying....

amazing,detali i wnt 1 but wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of my buget

Funny puchi dollfie theatre ^^; Didn't know Iron Man can feel oppai with his metallic hands...
Nanael with iron man head creeped me out ><

Wow...all those really tickled my fancy...unfortunately...i can't afford any at the moment...

All 3 of those Iron man are seriously cool. I'd like one, but soooo expensive.

Looks like Danny had a lot of fun with puchi dollfie theatre haha. The transplant of the heads onto other figures is really funny too. I got so amused that i just must comment on this, and thus the new sign up haha.

How about sending things you can't review to me :D I won't mind reviewing them.(Macross Valkyries and Gundam <3)

Evangelion watch ftw XD

image ID#26437!- rocks. I really like how much work they put into a detailing of Iron Man MK 2. _ love it.

Whoa the MK II looks amazing, I already have the MKIII but something about shiny silver brings out the crow in me.

Haha great dollfie theater danny. I really liked the Iron man MK II and the VF-25 Valkyrie from Macross. Both of em are in my wish list for this year and hopefully my savings will be just enough to buy one of em this summer. Really want the D500 tho but it'll blast a big hole on my pocket if I get one >.<;;;

I see somethin near the Mirai Oppai mouse pad, is it a pantsu and a bra? and the size is not for a dollfie O_O;;;;

Wow it's a Seiko Evangelion watch, if the dog tag is right. It reminds me of the Spoon watches of the 90's though.

And a very well-done Gundam you have there! Makes me kinda regret not sticking the foil stickers on the eyes and cameras for extra visibility.

wow you got 2 boxes of Nikon D5000. Does that mean you get 2 of the same cameras?
Can't wait for Nikon D5000 review. Planning to get an entry DSLR soon.

Love the Iron Man Mark II, got one for myself as well. The shot with the Dollfie was really funny ^_^

I haven't heard the words "boy toys" in a while. lol

planning on getting Nikon for my next camera..
but to expensive in my place..
but i love those macross and eva watch..

WHOA! I liked Eva, cant say Im the biggest fan though, but that watch is awesome!!!

Macross Valkiria all the way!
Looks amazing the Luka model.

mio pantsu shot ftw :)

I really want the watch, I just saw the matching pair of shoes too, lol. Eva Unit 1 everything! But people who don't know Evangelion will think you're crazy for wear such odd things.

>Iron Man also looking great with Nanako-chans body.
LOL, great picture.

And this Evangelion wrist watch looks really cool, but I heard it's not cheap, must look it up...

i want to buy that eva watch.

I like the eva watch but the bright colors would make it look like a child's watch to a non-fan

poor ironman.. i knew him well..., but he went out with a smile on his face... :)

I have MkIII and MkII on me shelf now, and they are mighty fine ^_^
Great to see that you got the Kotobukiys 1/6 cold cast as well! Was debating to get it but the weight and price has been putting me off, ever since I decided to get both the Hot Toys version.
Your daughter Ryomo is too fierce! Haha.

So many goodies.... Love Iron Man.

Loving the koto statue. Looks so pretty..... Shiney....

D5000+lenses for free... ah, you're lucky guy, but I guess it wasn't unexpected since you were in that nikon commercial.
afaik D5000 its pretty sweet...
I'm srsly jealous of that vari-angle lcd monitor, it comes useful in many situations.
According to some sources it also handles high iso a lil better then my good ol' D300 :3

Awesome - I soooo want any of the Iron Man figures - it is my favourite Comic series... one day I will get one...

Thanks Danny for staying true to your vision. I prefer to read something that is real and not all made up - cash for comments means that the comments are no longer real.

Cheers

The Iron Man figures are SO well made! I've seen several others of them in person and they look every bit this good. *__*

I'm really happy you've always stayed so true to yourself/dc members-viewers. I can buy figures and the like without worrying so much about "Will it look the same as [company picture?!]" and more of "When will it get here :D?!"

Luca model looks great, but I'd definitely bag the weapon :/ so cheap looking. THAT SAID, the joints look fantastic.

Mark II is a sexy sexy beast!!

NERV watch strikes me as a cheap gimmick tho. A cheap, 200$ gimmick *hides from the EVA flames about to come her way*

I remember I used to have the buff iron man suit that was meant to go up against the Hulk. I think it might be called Hulk Buster suit or something.

Iron Man is awesome. Especially the helmet designs; they're pretty slick.

So many awesome goodies T_T

Those Iron Man figures are awesome.

Oppai!!

Love the eva watch =DD

Too bad the Mk II figure has raised rivets. The Mk II in the movie had flush rivets. Another job for Danny's mecha weatherization specialist, perhaps?

It reminds me of the scene in The Aviator when Howard Hughes insists that his shiny metal plane have flush rivets to reduce drag. Since Hughes was Stan Lee's inspiration for the Tony Stark character, I wonder if the Iron Man filmmakers were influenced by that scene.

There is a good review of the D5000 at
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d5000.htm I like his reviews and suggested camera setups
It is a pity they did not give you a D90

The Eva watch looks awesome but I doubt I'll ever convince myself to wear anything purple!

Im Ironman ^^

The Hot Toys figures are just awesome.. can't wait for Mark I and the policeman Joker
Nice Pics by the way!

funny photo manga lol.

iroman figures looks awesome but i voted to valkyrie

I was in dilemma whether to choose Nikon D5000 & D90 last week. At the end I've chose D90 because it's more like a intermediate level DSLR while D5000 is more like an entry level DSLR for people who's from point & shots.

D5000 @_@
looking forward of your pic taken by D5000 = =+

my ironman markIII is one part short...missile luncher on lefthand is lost when he arrived... make me feel really bad about the hottoy's quality....even through the markII is awsome...

Am I seeing two D5000 kits in that last photo there? Seriously, that is sooo awesome! the figures didn't really catch my attention. the d5000 should have been in the poll. ^^

I like your business style. You are one cool one cool guy to be able to work under, many owners of a business would want to keep you if you are really good and are the reason that they make big bucks(kind of what my sister is to her workplace, she plans on leaving after gaining more exp). I wouldn't want to lie about a product too just to be on the good side of whoever.

Forget Iron Man, Danny, don't you get horny with so much oppai around? ;)

those iron man toys are smexy^^

Very cute head-ripping indeed XD

i'm not a fan of iron man but still could be worth a look. that evangelion watch could come in handy so it might be worth a look as well.

wow you are truly an otaku!!! the pictures were awesome....

I want to choose for RX-78 and Nikon but u did not gave me the choices so i vote for Macross!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! WHYYY!!!??
Trence Howards should play War Machine not Donny! I have nothing against him but I've always liked when something starts and ends with the specific characters. No meshing. Oh, well... it sucks.
Ion Mahn!
It was a cool movie! The OST rocks too! But the game:
WARNING:
Iron Man for XBOX is different(better) than the PS2/PC version. I forgot about Wii.

Sweet figures. Would love to have a chogokin Valkyrie, but I think I'll have more fun building one, hahahaha! With itasha decals all over.

LOL. Even Ironman falls into Oppai Touching behavior like any other "decent" man!! haha

Poor lil' Starks...
Only trying if his armor could "feel" any touch...
Aaargh, i wanted to lay my hand on that Mk III!!!!
But also wanted Ryomo figure, darn i can't made up my mind!!
My daughter will be jealous, lol

By the way Danny, what is the thing on your desk that looks like a cynder-block monitor stand?

cool stuff... losved the eva watch... too bad its really expensive and japan-only... :(

and i support you in your idea of writing what you think and not what somebody tells you to write...

Macross Valkyrie For the Win.

The Kotobukiya Iron Man looks really awesome, Ironman is one of my fav marvel characters, so i will check this one out when im in Japan!

That Iron Man MK III looks EPIC!!! :3 heeh

If only past Iron Man figures were that great. I still have one that I used to play with as a kid. Super...lame that is, compared to toys these days. XD

say NO to money !!!

love the iron mans ~ and the macross figure
not so keen about the eva watch ~
too nice to actually wear it ~ haha

Dont think I'll be ripping off the heads of the expensive shellhead figure if I ever own one.
I would put it on display as if its the cold cast stature.

The EVA watch only looks good.
Seems to me a simple bare bones digital watch apart from the EVA design.

Somehow I dislike digital watches that abbreviate the day to 2 characters.
I prefer abbreviation to 3 characters.

IronMan is too good that it's price won['t go down...
When the IRONMAN II is out next year, the price will still stand..Orz

Man that watch rocks, wish that that price tag wasn't so hefty!

Can the MK-II fly? I want one!

Nice presentation and description as always. ;)
Although by the video I don't concur... Macross Plus and Macross Zero are way better. =P~

i bought the complete set of iron man too from Kotobukiya and Hot Toys, and right now, I am waiting for the Mark I to release... too bad they do not keep to their launching date..

wow the detail is excellent!

He's soo sexy XD

It must be made from hat toys, too expensive price

You are so lucky dude. Well, I love the iron man figure more than anything.

ooow that bag looks really nice ^^" I wonder if it's a stealth camera bag looks like it .... wich is kind of wierd because its stealth ...

ironman,.....

Can't wait much longer for Iron man 2 XD

Argh, I can get the Iron Man but afraid that no more space for it to follow me back to my country.. Haha..

that's too cool. Loves Mk II Ironman.

Those Iron Man figures look great, but I don't think I will ever get one of those since I'd start another addiction. I do have a small collection of the North American Iron Man actin figures though. :)

I want that Evangelion watch! @w@

LOL. Looks like Iron Man Mk II and III broke one very important rule about oppai. Never touch someones oppai without asking.

I like Iron Man Mark II and I like Hot Toys. "p

Like the Mk-II the most....I wonder if there's cosplay about it already. Not to say totally look like it but close to it, has the metal feel. Sounds cool imagine it walking on the street while attending the cosplay event, haha. But must install aircond inside. Else if you die in it also no one will know =D

i am in the process of saving up for a mark3 iron man, want it soooo bad - annoying that they gave it such a high price tag though.
