The Iron Man Mark I Maquette manufactured by Sideshow Collectibles is now sold out, but here’s your chance to buy one thanks to eBay where one of the Limited Edition 1000 is up for sale – and its brand new still sealed in its box.

I’m going to cut this post short because the eBay auction ends in only 5 hours.  But, here’s the best thing.  The auction has not been bid on and currently sits at an opening of US$275.  Even when these collectibles were available on Sideshow they were priced at $379.99.  So you have the very real opportunity to score one of these impossible to find collectibles at around $100 off!  Now that’s a great deal.

If you’re into seriously cool collectibles or are a serious Iron Man fan then this Sideshow Collectibles and Legacy Effects Iron Man collectible will blow you away.  I absolutely love it.

The Iron Man Mark III Half-Scale Maquette, based upon the armor design from the first Iron Man film, is a perfect half-scale replica at 40 inches high (you can gather its height from the apple at his feet).

It is crafted from a mixture of polystone, fiberglass, metal and other materials and, let’s face it, it looks as good as the armor did in the movie.

LED’s light up his eyes and his heart (via power chord or batteries) for added realism.

This is one of the best collectibles to surface in a while.

It won’t be fully available until the start of 2010 but Sideshow Collectibles are taking advance pre-orders now.

It may end up being a Limited Edition however the decision on that is currently TBD.

Boba Fett is a 10-inch tall resin statue. The just-frozen Han Solo is stuck in his carbonite block, crafted to appear as if it’s still steaming from the freezing process that took place just moments earlier.
