THE TWELVE AGES OF ULTRON - THE FOURTH AGE

            THE TWELVE AGES OF ULTRON - THE FOURTH AGE

In the fourth Age Of UItron
Joss Whedon gave to me
Four brawling nerds
Three drenched men
Two mortal foes
And a Rocket in a Groot tree

-----------------------------------------

Tony Stark: "Peter Parker! Bruce Banner! Reed Richards! What IS it with Stan Lee !!"  

Spider-Man: "Jeez Joss, maybe we shouldn't have teased Iron Man about not having a proper alliterative Marvel name...."

Tony Stark: "Oh, PLEASE !! What really burns my exhaust is being called a 'Brawling NERD' !!"

Joss Whedon: "Yeah, but it makes a great shot. Cut, andddd Print !!"

Tony Stark: "Grrr Argh!! Stark SMASH puny Director !!"

Figures deployed in this photoshoot include-

The hefty 20 cm (8 Inch) Marvel legends Hulkbuster. The Model 14 suit was first seen in the 1994 Iron Man Volume 1/ 305, comic. The figure is a Marvel Legends Series II Legendary Riders, released in 2006 by Toy Biz.  One of my favourite Starktech custom suits variants, this exo-frame is able to lift 175 tons.  "Hulk smash puny metal man...uh, maybe not!" Hulkbuster suits have featured in several of the animated television shows, and of course this design clearly influenced the Hulkbuster armour in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, though Stark has upgraded the Hulkbuster concept several times since he built the original.

The 17 cm (16 inches) Hulk toy was released to tie in with Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk film, and indeed the head sculpt resembles actor Eric Bana. (Not visible in this piccy.) This figure has a robust 'smashing' action, the toggle on the back activates spring loaded 'hammer hits' with the flailing arms. 

The Reed Richards Marvel Legends Series 5 toy is another movie spin off, released for the 2003 Fantastic Four film.  It stands 15.5 cm (6 inches) but can be 'stretched' much larger by adding in  'extender' limb components. I've edited most of the joint lines out of the figure in the picture to help give a smoother appearance and facilitate the neo-classical compositional flow of the fighting. I think the head sculpt is a pretty good facsimile of actor Ioan Gruffudd, by the way.

I am Irony Man.,... and the 15 cm 2007 Hasbro Spider-Man Origins Iron Spider figure sports a streamlined armor that was indeed designed and built by Tony Stark for his ally and colleague, Peter Parker. (Yes it's Iron Man red and gold, as Stark said, "My design. My colours.") First Seen in Amazing Spider-Man 529 in April, 2006, this suit is an amusing hybrid of Tony and Peter Parker's various skillsets. Although the number of limbs, including the three mechanical 'waldoes' still don't add up to an arachnid eight. 
  
Oh, and keeping things on track again, is the Joss Whedon figurine that was packaged with DVDs of Morgan Spurlock’s geek-culture documentary "Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope."
