Marvel Select Hulkbuster Iron Man Figure Revealed

05/03/2015 03:26 pm EDT

Diamond and Marvel Select have announced a new Iron Man/Hulkbuster action figure available for preorder exclusively through the Disney Store and its website.

In one of the most buzzed-about scenes in Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tony Stark goes toe-to-toe with the Hulk in a massive new suit of Iron Man armor called "Veronica."

Dubbed the "Hulkbuster" armor in the comics, this massive suit was designed with one purpose in mind – stopping the Hulk in his tracks ­– and now Diamond Select Toys and marvelshop.com have teamed up to offer an exclusive figure of the armor as it appeared in the source material that inspired all the other Hulkbuster toys out there this season.

First appearing in Iron Man #304, released in 1994, the Iron Man Mk 14 "Hulkbuster" armor was an add-on to Tony Stark's modular armor, one that would allow him to stop the Hulk from tearing apart a factory that was manufacturing gamma bombs. While the battle was a misunderstanding, Stark kept the armor in case he ever needed it again, and it has occasionally been shown as part of his Hall of Armor.

A second version of the Hulkbuster armor appeared in the "World War Hulk" storyline.

The action figure was sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios, and stands 8.5 inches tall with 16 points of articulation. You can see a gallery of images of the figure below, including his packaging.

Pre-orders are open now at marvelshop.com for $24.95, and the figure will ship to customers later this summer. It will also be made available at Disney Stores across North America at that time, as well as on DisneyStore.com.
