Usually they restock the racks at some point no matter what toy line it is, and considering this one seems to be all released at once I should find him. Iron Man 2 was another story entirely. There were at least several waves of those figures and I only ever saw the first one because the stores ordered so damn much of it. One I really wish I hadn't passed up was the 6 inch Mark V suit Walmart-exclusive figure. Here's to hoping he gets re-released with Iron Man 3.

I remember that being a huge pain in the but during the IRon MAn 2 line as well. I bought Whiplash and two of the drones the first time I saw them, and I only recently found them again at a local Target when the Avengers figures were first coming out. It was like they had a box in the back room still and figured now was a good time to finally put them out. I guess there was a real late wave that had this concept War MAchine in white and red paint that was some kind of 'heavy munitions' version, along with this blue Iron Man armor that said STARK RACING on it and a few other repaints; I grabbed them when I saw them and then never saw them again. Hell, it took me forever to find an Iron Monger and he was in like the first or second wave.

You know, I finally found Whiplash at...Kohl's...out of all places, along with the drones (but I never got the drones ). I looked for the Stark Racing one but never found it. Most of what I ever saw were Comic Series figures which were kind of boring. It's funny though...I saw plenty of Iron Monger where I live for quite a while. I think I might have still seen some this year or late last year. But Iron Man (along with Transformers) is one series that I let way too many good things pass by. I'm still mad I never got the Mark I and the Spec-Ops (aka War Machine) concept armor from the first movie.

I never picked up the Racing one, and I only saw it once. To this day I've only seen like three Whiplashes, and they were at a K Mart. You'd think that the films' villain would have gotten better distribution.

you can try Cartoon universe

You'd think that, but even so, action figure lines are usually chock full of the hero(es) and not many villains to begin with. There are always more Autobots than Decepticons, 50 Spider-Men and 4 villains, 100 Iron Man suits and several villains, countless Supermen and one Lex Luthor. I know kids associate with the hero more, but everyone needs a villain for their hero to bring to justice, right? It just makes sense to us, but apparently not to the toy companies.

I managed to get back out to TJMaxx and I think they were monitoring this thread.
The Iron Man toys were neatly organized on pegs. The display looked really nice with what I assume was a new case opened up. I was able to get both the War Machine figures

The Power Charge Armor's downfall is the lack of shoulder articulation.
He does feature the light up chest gimmick though, and a pretty snazzy paint job

I really like the Artillery Armor War Machine. Big beefy weapons and good articulation for battle poses.


And while movie Destro's missile launcher seems too heavy for Cable,
War Machine has no problem lugging that thing around

And since the second weapon that he comes with uses the ball peg to attach at the top this makes some serious firepower.
There are gaps on both sides of the large cannon, probably for a bullet belt, that the handle for the launcher can insert into. It works better on the one side than the other.

Yeah, War Machine is really hard to pose. I like those two you found. The black one just looks like the first release but with different accessories.

Are you talking about this one?:

I unfortunately only bought the comic series and not the other, although I always considered it . The Power Charge Armor does resemble the movie series figure, although I think the earlier movie series has full shoulder rotation, the concept armor does not(the other concept armor WM has full rotation though).

I want to actually thank you man, while doing some research and ending up at the above link, I had the idea to use the ball peg on the concept armor and attach the Artillery Armors cannon.I just wish there was a way to switch the chest light on without pushing on the head.

Ah...I didn't see he had a chest light. And yes, the first movie series War Machine does have full shoulder rotation, but the shoulder pads kind of inhibit its use.
