Yeah, its another post related to Iron Man, but Sideshow keep on offering great items based around it, so we’ll keep reporting them! Here’s another superb piece. Just unveiled is this superb replica of Iron Monger’s helmet as it appears in the blockbuster Iron Man movie. The terrifying form of the Iron Monger’s suit is something fans won’t forget in a hurry, and now it can be commemorated with this excellent quality collectible.
Jeff Bridges must have had a blast playing the lunatic that ends up inside this beast of a machine. Essentially a giant, more brutal version of the Iron Man armour, the Iron Monger
comes pretty close to destroying everything Tony Stark has worked so hard to create. This high-end collectible piece from Sideshow Collectibles looks set to become as much of a hit as their other Iron Man items. Cast in hand forged steel, internal padding and eye lenses, this helmet is limited to a measly 250 pieces and is going to go fast. The scale is ‘approximately’ 1:1, which means the thing is going to be huge indeed. The measurements list the size as 14 inches high, so you get the idea. Supplied with a display base, this would complete any Iron man collection perfectly. Due for release in the 3rd quarter of 2008, it’ll probably not last much longer than the release day. I love these helmets.
They really do offer something special for the serious collector, and thanks to their size and the level of detail they more than justify the hefty price tag. The only thing I’m not sure about is that it looks so similar to the Iron Man Mk1 helmet that some people may be put off a little. Then again, with a sequel already being planned and even a possible third in the works, there’s going to be demand for Iron Man collectibles for some time yet, and Sideshow Collectibles are doing a damn fine job of serving up the goods.
