SILLY THING X MARVEL STUDIOS X HOT TOYS
IRON MAN MARK III TK EDITION
SILLY THING TOYS has been the talk of the industry since its establishment. Following Bounty Hunter ‘Captain Bounch Red’ and The Beatles 1000% Kubrick, SILLY THING TOYS is launching yet another triumphant collaboration with Marvel Studios and Hong Kong based Hot Toys — 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 colour 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.
