“You will never see me coming.” – The Mandarin, Iron Man 3

Played by Sir Ben Kingsley in Iron Man 3, the Mandarin was the believed to be the main villain that plotted the destruction of Tony Stark. However it’s eventually revealed that the Mandarin was actually just a figurehead and that the one calling the shots was a vengeful scientist that Tony Stark scorned in his younger days. That plot twist probably turned off a lot of people and prevented them from buying the 1/6th scale figure of The Mandarin by Hot Toys. We took the jump though and as it turns out it’s one of the most underrated figures out there. The level of detail is unbelievable and the over-all posability is fantastic.

As expected from Hot Toys, the head sculpt of the figure is spot on. They were once again able to nail an exact replica of the actor, in this case Sir Ben Kingsley.

So lifelike right? The flaws, wrinkles, lines, and beard are so realistic.

The insane level of detail extends to the clothes of the Mandarin. The small things like the oriental patterns and the accessories really brings the figure to life. And it’s not just limited to his robes. It’s even on his cargo pants, fingers, and torso.

The figure came with the usual variety of hand pegs/palms. It also had a pair of sunglasses (which Mandarin has on in the movie) and a very familiar wooden chair. Yes, this is the chair he sat on when he did one of his illegal broadcasts. The chair, combined with the very articulate body of the figure, makes for an awesome mini-diorama. You can even use the color bar display in the box as a backdrop.

Other than the chair, sunglasses, and extra hands, the box also came with the standard Hot Toys base with name plate and movie logo. The Iron Man parts you saw in the earlier photos were taken from other figures and don’t come with the Mandarin figure itself.

Definitely we consider this as one of the most underrated figures of all time. Definitely worth adding to our collection! 🙂
