I dunno. I think 'bulk' could be deceptive in a silhouette...

At any rate, going over the armors, the only choices are:

Mark II (Iron Man)
Mark III (Iron Man)
Mark IV (Iron Man 2)
Mark V (Iron Man 2)

Mark XLV (The third Age of Ultron armor; they're doing the other two already...)
Mark XLVI (Civil War armor)
Mark XLVII (Homecoming armor)

I doubt they'd do any Iron Legion.

I think the silhouette of that last Arc Reactor looks a little too large to be from the later movies. So, what's most likely? And are Queen even necessarily done with armors after this silhouette line-up? I don't know if they've been asked that.

I don't dislike the Mark 42 as much as some do, but it is baffling to me that they'd pick it for the centerpiece. Especially with the Mark 43 already represented. They're the same armors, I was hoping for a Mark 46.

I'd love to see a Mark 6 or 5. Those two never seem to get enough love (the 5 I get why, but the 6 has a lot of screen time relative to some of Tony's suits).

[generalszabo]

Yeah 6 is very important as it played a big role in IM2 (and avengers?) and sideshow's PF was pretty good

Only thing slightly weird about it is the triangular arc reactor but I hope it gets more love eventually

Who knows, queen might do the whole line and get rich off iron man and star wars

Went back and rewatched that, and I'm now convinced you guys are right. Zoomed in on the silhouette, and a lot looks familiar. Good call.

Tilted torso and right hand of Iron Monger base, while Iron Man's on his shoulders. But yeah, not sure about Iron Man's right hand... In the actual scene he rips it out with his right hand, as his left hand armor is missing, so I guess szabo is right that they may have taken some liberties. I hope he's fully armored and not too battle damaged.

A relief that it looks to be the Mark III anyway.

Also, statue could have changed from this silhouette. The Mark 43 did. They changed the left hand from open to closed.

I know you like the Predator 2 armor better as well. Is that a tendency? Do you often like the less popular 'versions'? Just curious.

Well I'm not an Iron Man fan. I like quite a few of the suits, but I don't have much interest in the character outside of that. This gives me the freedom to view them with a strictly visual mindset.

42, 85, Silver Centurion and the Starboost/Gemini suits really hit that special spot for me.

The OG Predator design is extraordinary. So is the P2. They're both SWS creations and are equally impressive and unique for differing reasons. The flavor of the City Hunter's look has always appealed to me more, even the film has, but I absolutely love and respect the original.

Yeah, that Starboost design kicks ass...it's just not very 'Iron Man' to me. I'd love it in any other context.

[generalszabo]

I completely forgot about starboost and the other house party suits designed for merchandising and hot toys royalties

[Shoo]

[Phoenixblazes]

They should give options of the armour falling apart if they want it to be as accurate as it is in the movie.

Going up for preorder on 4th May, no price or ES announced yet.
Would be great if someone could update the silhouette, I think we know what all the armors are now.
