Want to reenact your favorite scenes from Iron Man 3 but can’t afford to build your own suit of armor?  Well, you’re in luck!  Two new figures from Hot Toys will bring the fun and action of the Marvel movie into your home at just a fraction of the price.  The special edition of the War Machine Mark II figure will set you back US $284.99 with an expected shipping date in February 2014.  This is the same price for the non-exclusive edition.  The Iron Man Mark XXXV “Red Snapper” armor is available to pre-order for US $254.99, with delivery expected by December of this year.  Hit the jump for more details and images for each of the figures.

Fans are understandably excited as the release of Marvel’s Iron Man 3 is now only a few short days away, but in case the Shane Black-directed sequel isn’t enough to appease your fandom, another Iron Man-related product is being made available—though it comes with quite the hefty price tag.  Sideshow Collectibles has unveiled a life-size Iron Man Mark 42 collectible, which is basically a human-sized action figure.  The piece stands over seven feet tall and weighs over 100 lbs.  Moreover, it comes complete with LED light up eyes, arc reactor, palm, and display base.  The figure will run you $8499.99, and I can think of plenty of other causes worthy of that kind of money, but the figure is available for purchase nevertheless.  Hit the jump for more info and some images of the collectible.

Season three of AMC’s The Walking Dead introduced some new and quirky characters, none moreso than The Governor (David Morrissey) who had a penchant for keeping severed heads floating in aquariums.  Now you can have your own collection of bobbing heads without the grisly (or very illegal) act of decapitation!  A Limited Edition Blu-ray for season three of the zombie series comes in a wonderfully gory display case with two backlit “aquariums” featuring five floating heads.  It’s available to pre-order now for about $105 (which is 30% off the $150 retail price).  Hit the jump to check it out.

Though director Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy came to a close last year with the release of The Dark Knight Rises, it appears that we’ll still be seeing material from the franchise for some time to come.  Hot Toys has posted a few curious images that tease the unboxing of a rather massive 1/6 scale model of “The Bat” from The Dark Knight Rises, revealing that Batman’s aerial vehicle could soon be yours.  No price is given, but one imagines this won’t exactly be cheap.  Pre-orders are expected to begin in the near future, so keep an eye out.
