Iron Man 2 Movie Series War Machine Variant Found

First of all thanks to Shin Densetsu for another great review.

I actually was lucky enough to find this figure today (already own the comic version as well).

I think I may have found that this figure has a variant! There are apparently two versions of movie War Machine - blue eye and red eye! Check the pics below out... I bought both. Both were labeled as figure #12.

DAMN!! I was planning on getting two to begin with but variants now I absolutely must!! maybe a double of each

I dig the red eyes, like the one of the teaser poster.

Also, will movie WM be in the first wave? It would be a waste of time to get the comic version if the real one comes out 2 weeks later.

He is in wave 2, and I've only seen him at Kmart, though a fellow member here got his at Walmart.

hey anyone know if this variant will be a select store exclusive or available at any store????

I think it's available at any store, there aren't any stickers denoting that it's an exclusive and Hasbro never mentioned anything about it at Toy Fair.

awesome!!! now just to find em

I found mine at Walmart

Damn, that's two more to buy, instead of one.

Well, at least the wife will be happy that I've limited my IM2 purchases to War Machine only.

Just opened the War Machine variant...and after messing with it for a few minutes, I felt like it was lighter in color. A quick comparison later revealed I was right.

There's actually an extra light wash of silver paint over the darker armor bits and weapons. This wash is missing from the red reactor armor. The pics don't really show it off too well.

I'm absolutely gettn both and you can tell there is a bit of a difference in color very cool!!

I'm thinking that the variant blue figure has something to do with the movie since there's allot of paint differences and even the black parts have almost a worn look on the blue variant.

yeah i noticed that.

a big thing I noticed on the blue version was that the red triangles that are on the head of the red clean version aren't on the blue either...I haven't opened my variant blue yet cause I want to get another one.

i noticed that too,i wonder if we'll see both in the movie.like if tony wheres the armor first with the blue and then gives it to rhodey and he changes it to red.

That's basically what I was thinking: that Tony wears one and Rhodey wears the other (regardless of whether or not it's the same suit in the movie).

or perhaps rhodes leaves the military or something and works with stark.

I too have my blue War Machine set at Stark... I couldn't find the red one. I hope I get it soon.

cool where did you find yours Ive so far only seen the blue version at a kmart but its all run down...Ive seen a bunch of red versions at walmart not at toysrus or target yet

I found it at Kmart. Haven't seen the second wave of movie figures anywhere else.

I'm just gonna have to keep checkn for more at kmart I guess...hopefully they'll get them at other stores though cause the selection is so low at kmart its crazy

Hey guys does anyone know what days kmarts usually get their shipments in? I assume like toysrus they all have a fairly standard set of delivery days....might help us find these figures.

I've seen both red and blue at Wal-Mart (red was more abundant). If they have them in at all, there's a decent display 4 pegs wide by 3 pegs tall of the basic figs, along with a few pegs for the deluxe versions.

cool I just gotta keep lookn..I like both versions and want to have a second one of that blue version so I can open it lol

Mine gas green eyes and a blue arc reactor.... shit.

Still haven't seen the movie War Machine in my area.

Man, the heads on those look so much better than the ones I've seen in stores. It's like those cheap heads I've been seeing for the latest MU Wolverines. Could this be a "first batch" thing?

You've really got to dig through them to get a good one. The paint's terrible on most.

Kinda sucks he only comes with one movie accurate shoulder gun, and one BFG. I wish they had his other shoulder launcher too.

Yea, I know, I always gotta dig, lol.

You know, that's sucha dead givaway for collectors. We're always the one's sifting thru every possible figure, all the way to the back, making figures fall off the racks, lol.

Take comic War Machine's, paint it black. It fits

So Which one is more rare, blue or red? Sounds like blue to me.

I'll just wait for the Rhodey figure. He has the right shoulder mount.

Most of the War Machines( reg and variant paint SUCKED). The varaint was harder to find. This was a hunt in itself to get the best paint apps.

Yup, Thank You Hasbro. They really need to be paying those poor Chinese workers more so they'll pump out better quality figs.

here's some war machines i here...blue , red , hall of armor which has a yellow decal on the end of the gun arms, k-mart , a black prototype and a sealed blue light war machine with no numbers on the body ....hope to get camo war machine

sorry forgot the picture
