I got the chance to check out some of the new IRON MAN 3 toys and my boys were of course excited to check them out!

When I showed my 4 year old the Marvel Iron Man 3 Motorized Arc FX Gauntlet he was so excited to open it up.  The packaging was super easy, no scrissors required which is a huge plus right off the bat.  Then after adding three AA batteries he was off shooting.  It is easy to add the foam discs, yes foam not plastic, and strap on your child’s wrist.  We have tried other toys that strap on and they fall off or don’t stay, this one is nice because your child can hold it and not strap it on if they don’t want too.  It does come with a good amount of discs (10 actually) to start off but they can get hidden very easily in your house, which is why I told my son to pay attention to where he’s shooting!

As far as action figures go, the Iron Man Power Charged Action Figure – ARC Strike Iron Man is a pretty cool figure.  He has pulsing lights, combat sounds and as you tilt him to “fly” he makes sounds and lights up like he’s flying!  This is definitely not a traditional action figure, but it does require three AA batteries.  My son likes the lights and sounds a lot on this figure and I can pretty much repeat all of them.  Sorry too I can’t find a picture of this guy in action and he is apparently now hiding in the house somewhere!

Next up of course Iron Man needs a vehicle so the Marvel Iron Man 3 Avengers Initiative Assemblers Battle Vehicle was the next toy we checked out.  It is a sturdy plastic car that fits the included Iron Man figure perfectly.  This is no ordinary car though.  By pushing a button, Iron Man will be pushed out so he can roll into action, there are things you put on his feet so he can roll.  My son thought this was hysterical!  Then with the extra weapons you can change out Iron Man’s arms so he can have different weapons.  Everything snaps into place and is ready to be used.  Other Iron Man Assemblers figures will fit inside the vehicle but will not be able to be launched.

Finally we got a Iron Man 3 – White & Yellow Armor Iron Man – Micro Muggs.  This is a one inch or so collectible figure that we currently have sitting in our kitchen.  His arms move but thats about it.  This is perfect for any collector or just as a little trinket for an Iron Man fan!

Overall, my boys had a blast with the new Iron Man 3 toys and are anxious to watch the movie.  I tried to explain they wouldn’t really understand the movie yet but they are excited anyways.  These toys though were fun for my boys even though they have never seen Iron Man before, but the toys have fun features that are sure to attract any kids attention!
