I doubt there will be a US release. Any property where the Master License is owned by some big company, in this case Hasbro, there is practically zero chance of it being brought over because of licensing issues. This is exactly why the previous Iron Man figures are so pricey on the US (after)Market.

Figuarts and Figma are the top figure builders on this scale IMO, striking a good balance between screen accuracy, quality workmanship and limitations of toy design. Figma did the Mark VII, my favorite armor model and my favorite figure on this scale.

I won't buy without more pictures and reviews, but if the armor works well in the movie and the price isn't cosmic, I'll probably buy this one. I don't want to pay what I paid for the Figma, though. That was a one-timer; there will never be another Mark VII.

I own the Mark 42 figuart. If you need a review, check out one for that figure. The only issue with 42 is the armor on the back of the hands like to fall off. 42 and Patriot are not my favorite figures, I prefer the figuarts Mark VI. I own the black version of that, but I would love to have it in normal colors.

The figma looks absolutely brilliant. But the price is a bit high for my taste. Even AmiAmi's discounted price wasn't too hot. I'd prefer the exclusive version with the extra armor bits and the Tony face, but that's even more expensive.
