Always good friends CollectionDX, Mega Brands gave us the VIP tour of their booth at Toy Fair. We'll start with Iron Man 2. In addition to the usual building type toys, they had some awesome magnemo armor sets, which feature an internal skeleton in which you can swap out different armors. Also, this is the first time I saw a mass-produced military Iron Man suit, which looks Killer. Also cool was the Hall of Armor set with mini-figs of all the Iron Man armor, and the large, Neo-Shifters based Iron man figures. These were especially cool because the lid of the packaging becomes the base, and it includes clear stand parts for posing the figure.
Images will be broken down below the descriptions from the press kit.
With the highly anticipated sequel launch of Iron Man 2, MEGA Brands has partnered with
Marvel to deliver hot new construction sets for Iron Man, allowing kids to build the super-
hero themed toys that reflect the iconic Marvel characters and themes.
Hall of Armor
Welcome to Tony Stark’s top secret Hall of Armor, a 170- piece buildable playset where all of his armor designs are kept safe from prying eyes. On display are images of the armor suit designs and a sophisticated building and repair area, complete with a multi-directional repair arm run by Tony’s faithful computer A.I. “Jarvis”. With a cool movie-themed sticker sheet for accurate film detail, this playset includes a buildable Mark II and Mark VI, with repulsor flames and 2 fly-wires, one integrated into the playset and a 3ft fly-wire for free flying action. This buildable Hall of Armor playset provides endless hours of building action like a moving repair arm and secret trap door.

Tri-Armor Suitcase

All pieces are conveniently stored inside Tony’s iconic suitcase replica right out of the movie.

All armor sets are compatible with each other, allowing you to build your own custom armors for any situation! The fully poseable characters are great to build, play and display!
