We've seen more than our fair share of Iron Man action figures (seriously, let's dial just a smidge), but Tony Stark? That's as rare as a unicorn ... a bearded, wisecracking unicorn. However, Bandai is about to change that with this upcoming release from the S.H. Figuarts Iron Man 3 line.

Yes, that Marvel Studios sequel came out three years ago, but we're not complaining, because instead of the umpteenth armored variant, we're getting the billionaire philanthropist playboy himself!

Standing about 6 inches tall, and looking remarkably like Robert Downey Jr., the figure comes with swap-out armored gauntlets and boots, as well as a display stand for the first-run release.

Priced at about $59, it will be available for preorder beginning Friday from Tamashii Nations.
