Product Description
This is an extremely limited edition; Only 1,500 of these will ever be made. Because of our great relationship with Windlass, we have a large, guranteed allotment of these. Many other vendors on the web will not receive any of these, even if they advertise them on their site (and they probably won't tell you this until all of the helmets have sold out). Don't miss out!
Quick note... Windlass originally stated that these would come with a light up stand ... they have since changed this. It will not come with a light up stand, but will come with a beautiful polished wood stand with movie graphics. Sorry for the inconvenience.
As I write these Iron Man helmet descriptions, I hear Black Sabath's Iron Man playing incessantly in my head. I bob my head like some sort of adult Beavis and occasionally hold my index and pinky finger up in the air. Just a little snapshot into the warped and deviant life of a slightly retarded fan of all that is cool in the world.
However, while working on this particular one, the music has stopped, to be replaced by an eerie, reverent silence. Not to say that the other helmets aren't the cat's meow, but this Mark 03 Iron Man helmet is so stylish, so polished and so ... well ... so Iron Man, that I can't help but stare at it in silence. I'm not sure I can say that I like this one the best, all of the helmets are ridiculously cool in their own way, but this helmet actually transforms Iron Man from a background hero of my childhood (far behind Batman and Nightcrawler) to a full-fledged, world-class superhero.
The helmet is made of hand forged steel. It's painted in Iron Man's iconic Maroon and Yellow and has a beautiful flawless finish. The designers of this helmet actually got to hold the original Stan Winston Studios prop while making this, so you can be certain that it is an exact copy of the original worn by Robert Downey Jr.
The helmet is 9 inches tall, 13 inches long and 8 inches wide. Only 1,500 of these are being made, which is actually a very short run, particulalry when considering how big of a blockbuster this movie will be. It comes with a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity, a beautiful stand with movie graphics, and a voucher for one night with Gwyneth Paltrow. (editor's note: That's not even remotely true. Well, the hand-numbered thing is true. And so is the beautiful stand. I meant the Gwyneth Paltrow thing). Well, okay, there's no Gwyneth Paltrow voucher, but I hear she has a real Iron Man crush, so if you wear this around her ... well, you never know.
Now buy an Iron Man Mark III with either an Mark I or Iron Monger helmet and save big $$$(while supplies last).
