Are these vehicles for 3 3/4 line or remote controlled vehicles?

I agree it may be 3-3/4 but looking at the figure in it it could very well be molded in like the bike its just too hard to tell....but personally I'm not at all interested in vehicles I mean the figures stand alone and when if ever did iron man need vehicles....

Did someone say Batman tumbler? I might buy this bike if it looks like it might crossover well for some other MU figure. Moon Knight maybe?

The Vortex looks nice, and the cycle doesn't look too bad. However, both don't interest me all that much.

I know it's just for the toys, but, does anybody else think it's odd seeing Iron Man riding a vehicle?

While he's in the armor? Sure.

Why not a replica of the Stark racecar (with break-apart action™) from the preview with figs of T.S. w/ armor briefcase and Whiplash. that scene is just begging for it.

Cause they'll need something to repaint it into later...
Which will hopefully come with stark in his racing suit.
(Keeping my fingers crossed!)

Actually, I have to admit, the Vortex car looks kind of sweet. I saw it in person at TRU yesterday and really liked the paint color on it. It would fit real nice with other 3 3/4" vehicles and could be a great starting point for someone who wants to make a custom M.A.S.K. vehicle.

That's not an excuse for vehicles that can be taken from the movie the line is based on.

Kenner and Hasbro are both used to this, so the race car not being the stark race car seems odd for them (robocop, batman, etc back in the day). Unless it's a placeholder for that once the movie is released. Movie lines are weird like that, when you have contracts that deny you from releasing even details of certain things till the film hits theaters.

For the ATVs and motorcycles though yeah, surprisingly there really is a market for those pull back and go racers with kids.

I'm pretty much feeling the same. It does look cool, but it is a totally unnecessary vehicle. I don't care what anybody tries to argue, sorry Snowflakian. Iron Man does not need a car. This doesn't come with Tony Stark. It comes with Iron Man. It's the same as Hulk, Spider-Man and whoever else they put on ATVs. Completely unnecessary.

But, as mentioned before, it does look cool. If it came with Stark in a racing uniform I would definitely consider getting it.

Ironman doesn't. But stark uses this race car in the film itself. It's just the wrong colors and comes with the wrong figure. All I said was previously when Hasbro has done movie vehicles, generally it actually is one that's used in the movie or comic or toon. That's why I'm saying wait for the 'movie' accurate repaint or nag them till they make one. Stark in race car uniform FTW! (Same reason I never defended the armor adventures humvee, it was just too wtf to even bother trying.)

Spidey on the other hand, does have a car in his comics. Short lived, but it existed. That I wouldn't mind seeing released when the spidey movie toys roll out. Especially if they do a two pack of old man hawkeye and logan in MU at the same time. =D

The pull and go racers are a different story entirely though, but kids like em, so what can you do cept be happy that Ironman merchandise is getting kids ready for figures when they get older (2-5 year olds predominantly on the atv/bikes).
