Tinman Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 New Iron Giant releases from Sideshow include a 16" figure with 30 points of articulation (@ $300) and a flashing Iron Giant Bolt (@ $65); I ordered a bolt and am thinking about the robot. What does an Ultimate Iron Giant go for these days and how tall are they? https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/the-iron-giant-iron-giant-deluxe-mondo-902331/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Tinman...this is actually the MONDO version that I posted under Robot Talk a few weeks back. I got both the bot and bolt! The old Ultimate Iron Giant toy stands 22 inches tall, mint in the box they go for anywhere between $200-350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 They are 22" tall and they go for around $200.00 to $300.00 dependent on new in box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks TP6. I'm not exactly sure how Sideshow works these deals with other companies, like Hot Toys for example, I didn't see your earlier post. I'm already on the stick for R2-D2 (which is late due to a dock-worker strike), C-3PO, Iron Giant Bolt, ...and Captain America (Age of Ultron costume); adding another $300 item may be a bit much, especially because most will be released at/near the same time. I'm going to search out your other post; what are your thoughts on the Iron Giant figure, I'm not familiar with Mondo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 MONDO is an art house that promotes limited edition graphics, prints and lithographs, posters, T-Shirts and soundtrack albums. Much of the work covers SciFi and horror films. I have seen some of the prints and they are fantastic takes on classic movies and shows. They are top-notch, promoting only high-quality art. I believe this is their first foray into toys, but if it sells well, it won't be their last. I just wish the Iron Giant was of comparable size to the original toy, but perhaps that was by design.

Tinman Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 After thinking about it for a few days I ordered one from Sideshow since I already have an account there. I found an article on the net that said Mondo was making the Iron Giant figure and 250 deluxe versions, but it never said what the difference was; the one on Sideshow is advertised as the deluxe. I'll have to do some digging to see if there's a difference and if that statement was true; I believe the article was dated January 2015. I'm happy with the figure's size; at 16 inches it still won't fit in the bottom shelf of a Detolf case. In any event, we have a LOTS of time to think about display ideas!

Tinman Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Found it: "While there’s no limit on the pre-orders, there will be a limited edition “Hand Under Foot” edition for $315, which is limited to 250 and comes with the nice addition of the loose hand that wanders around Hogarth’s home while the Giant is hiding in the barn."

Tinplate6 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 That set was sold out within minutes of the item's opening sale, I know, I tried to buy one and by the time my request went through I got the message that it had sold out. However, I'll bet at least one shows up on eBay for $70 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Sold out in minutes...interesting. Yeah, I think I'm good without the spare hand although I wish they would have made several casts of Hogarth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I like what they have done with this Iron Giant version and adding the hand really makes for a great limited edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
