Iron Man 3 MyStamp Collection

I got my hands on the MyStamp Iron Man 3 stamp collection. Now I am no stamp collector, but this set is pretty impressive. Good quality and interesting prints.

I couldn't wait to open my set.

Greeted with a brief description of MK1 and MK6 as well as the arc reactor in the middle

Comes with the clear foil packaged stamp set as well as one attached to the booklet called Hall of Armor.

One one side are the different suits and the other is War Machine/Iron Patriot.

Close up of the stamps.

If you are interested, you can get this at a price of $45.90 at any Post Offices in Singapore or online here.

I think I been talking too much about Iron Man... but I ain't complaining. I should be featuring the toys I have pretty soon.

After the power pose Red Snapper. Hot Toys announced the release of ML XVII The Heartbreaker Diecast. Joining MK 47 and Iron Patriot.

I call this The Wallet Breaker.

Iron Man 3 end sequence

To those who already watched the movie. Remember the end sequence that nicely summarizes the 3 Iron Man movies? Here you go.

The Suits

Incase any one was wondering what are the suits featured in Iron Man 3, here are some excepts. Go get Marvel's Iron Man 3: The Art of the Movie Slipcase.

I think in the movie other than Mark 42, he puts on Mark 33 (silver centurion), Mark 16 (night club) and finally Mark 40 (shotgun)

Iron Man 3, a spoilerish review

 

Honestly? I have mixed feelings about this movie. Fun and exciting as it may seem, there are certain points that really disappointed me.

The hype of The Mandarin leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I mean Jon Favreau set the stage for Mandarin in the first Iron Man. So why let Killian take over and spoil it? There will be so much more damage The Mandarin could have done with his rings. So why write off one of the most formidable foes in Iron Man universe?

In Iron Man, you can clearly see the 10 Ring logo as well as one of the rings from the leader

Infact you can actually see a reference to Fin Fang Foom as well in a blink and miss scene.

The whole Extremis storyline could have been better played out. I would have loved to see Ezekiel Stane come back to take revenge for Obadiah.

Iron Patriot was kind of disappointing, would have loved to see more action sequence from the suit.

Complains aside, as a whole the movie was quite fun and bold. The whole Pepper putting on the suit and removing it was beautifully executed. The soundtrack by Brian Tyler was amazing. The ending battle showcased a variety of his suits though it was kind of fast to catch. RDJ again plays Tony Stark as how he should be.

Special mention to the Ty Simpkins as Harley. The boy played an unforgettable role in the movie.


Shane Black took a risk and moved the first part of the Marvel movie Phase 2 in a new direction. It leaves many wondering what is going to happen to Tony? Is he going to be back in Avengers? What is going to happen to Iron Man 4 if there is any.

The after credit scene is just fun, compared to the previous after credit scenes in the movies of the first phase.

Time to look forward to Thor 2 coming up in November. Another movie which I have high expectations for.

There was additional scenes in the China version of the movie. Check out what you missed.

Iron Man 3 China version

So it was announced that the Iron Man 3 movie will have additional scenes in the China screenings. That got everyone jumpy. What is so pivotal about that scene and how does it impact the movie. Well fret not cause it doesn't at all and I have no idea why they actually bother.

Below are the scenes that are added.

- Before the film's proper opening, a question appears on the screen asking “What does Iron Man rely on to revitalize his energy?" It dissolves and the answer, “Gu Li Duo," is revealed. Gu Li Duo is a popular energy drink in China. a WTF scene.

- The rest of the 4 minutes worth of additional footage features Chinese actor Dr. Wu having a phone conversation in his Beijing office. During the all-Chinese conversation, Iron Man can be seen on a television playing with children at one of China's landmarks. Dr. Wu doesn't appear again until the ending of the film where he is shown operating on Stark and having a conversation with his unnamed assistant played by Chinese star Fan Bingbing.

And there you have it, nothing lost nothing gained. No big deal of a scene anyway. I wonder if that is why Andy Lau turned down the role.
