Tony Stark‘s armory is going to be an impressive lot this time around! According to IO9, the Extremis virus will allow Tony to put parts of multiple Iron Man suits together. Also, Tony will have a “Hall of Armors” with at least 16 new suits of armor, including some classic armors from the comics. Also the rumors that Pepper Potts will get her own suit of armor (Rescue from the comics) is becoming more and more unlikely, but you never know what Marvel has up their sleeves! This is being confirmed by the upcoming toy line from Hasbro:
- Iron Man 3 Iron Assemblers Action Figure Assortment: 14 “Connectable” figures (wave 1, Feb 2013) with multiple interchangable pieces to deliver maximum customization. Wave 2 in March and Wave 3 in April. We are betting these are 3 and 3 quarter inch.
- Iron Assemblers Battle Vehicle: Tony Stark’s stylish ride launches your Iron Assembler figure out of the front, mimicking a scene from the movie. Almost all figures are compatible. Feb 2013 A second vehicle is said to join it in March.
And speaking of Iron Man, there is a rumor that the billionaire, playboy, philanthropist will be making an appearance in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
