Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.) light-up Iron Man Mark 46 upper body armor from Anthony and Joe Russo's Captain America: Civil War. Billionaire weapons manufacturer Stark donned his 46th Iron Man suit of armor - the first-ever Iron Man suit with a fully retractable helmet - during his climactic battle with Steve Rogers, aka Captain America (Chris Evans) and Bucky Barnes, aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).
After Jon Favreau's Iron Man opened at first place at the box office, the gold-color and crimson armor became ubiquitous in representations of the titular character in pop culture, with Stark donning it in multiple installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Iron Man's Mark 46 armor was modeled on his so-called "Bleeding Edge Armor," an armor model (number 38) first introduced in the pages of Marvel Comics but drawn from Favreau's depiction of the character. The Russos' film ultimately became the highest-grossing film of 2016, earning Downey a coveted Kids' Choice Award® nomination for Favorite Movie Actor.
The armor in this set is cast from foam-padded dense urethane, hand-painted in Iron Man's signature color palette, and etched with lines to appear fully metallic and plated.
The costume components are:
A cuirass with fastening strip and buckle closures, "#3" and "RT Power" hand-marked on the interior padding, and an opaque arc reactor at center inset with an interior LED
Left and right shoulder pads hand-marked "#3"
Jointed upper and lower left stunt arm armor hand-marked "#1 Elbow Left" at the crook of the elbow and "SHT Stunt #3 Left Arm" at the wrist
Matching right stunt arm armor hand-marked "SHT Stunt Dany #3 Right Arm" at the wrist
The arm armor is inset with wiring designed to illuminate LEDs concealed in the exterior plates. Following production, the lot underwent sympathetic restoration to return functionality to the lights in the chest and arms, including the installation of a new 9V battery pack. The lot shows evidence of wear consistent with on-set use, handling, and age, including flaking paint throughout.
Contains electronic and mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.
