I’m not avidly collecting this RE:EDIT line of action figures, as I simply don’t have space or money for another high-end line of 7″ figures. The Sentinel Re:Edit House of M Iron Man figure is now up for order, and is scheduled to be released in October 2017. Your amusement at such frivolities may vary. I know a lot of collectors never bother to turn the lights on on any of the figures, models or statues that they buy that feature electronics, but I’m pretty nutty about activating the lights as often as possible, so I’m psyched that I’ll be able to light up this Iron Man figure’s eye and helmet just like my Hot Toys Iron Man collection. While the most outstanding feature of this Sentinel Iron Man action figure is that it looks slick as all hell, it’s also worth mentioning that it comes with flight tech with LED electronic lights, interchangeable hands, an ammo belt, a knife hand, a cannon, and another Hall of Armor display base (which all the RE:EDIT Iron Man figures come with). And most importantly, it makes for one sweet looking action figure. It’s impossible to miss the similarities between the two mechs, and I don’t imagine there’s any way this is just a random coincidence.īut hey, it’s all good–to be frank, the Gundam-ized House of M Iron Man armor actually makes me like the design more than its original look. Sentinel’s RE:EDIT line lets them reinterpret character designs with their own unique style, and their spin on the Iron Man House of M armor is apparently to mash it up with the beloved Astray Gundam armor–particularly the head. And thus, the Gundam-like Sapien Deathmatch/Robo Death Match armor was born. And one of those ideas was the bizarre take on Tony Stark as a competitor in a televised Robo Death Matches (no, seriously). The 2005 House of M storyline was a weird sort of mega reality-altering crossover in that it wasn’t particularly loved or hated or cared about at all… it was just sort of “there” as a means to getting to Scarlet Witch saying her iconic “No More Mutants” line and launching years of X-Men stories.īut while most of the House of M story isn’t exactly memorable or iconic, there were certain ideas from the crossover that were pretty weird and unique.
