Reminder: You have until midnight tonight (Wednesday) to get on the Priority Pre-Order List to order a Stealth Iron Man Limited Edition Comiquette.

I've spoken to someone over at Sideshow and they expect it to sell out within about the first hour, so it's almost certain that non-priority list people will never have the chance to order it... that is until these turn up on Ebay at triple the original price.

To get on the Priority list you must be a registered newsletter subscriber and Sideshow account holder by Wednesday, August 8th, 2007, 11:59PM PDT

Here's what it looks like, and yes, it does have internal lighting (click on the image for more info):

Pre-Orders begin Thursday, August 9th, 2007, at 10AM PDT 

Comic-Con Iron Man Movie Wrap-Up

The 2007 San Diego Comic-Con is over and was bigger than ever with approximately 120,000 people showing up over the 4 1/2 day event! Unexpectedly, the biggest movie buzz award went to...

Iron Man!

I say unexpected because although here at Advanced Iron we've been excited about the film for some time and it had gotten some mainstream press coverage, no one (including Paramount) expected the wild reaction to trailer that was shown at the event. Before the footage was first revealed last Thursday, crowd reaction was good, but not great when director Jon Favreau asked who would be attending the Marvel presentation on Saturday where footage from the movie would be shown. He suprised the crowd by showing the footage at that very same presentation (Paramount's panel) and when the footage finished showing the crowd went insane! 

Zine Editor-in-Chief John Comerford and I attended the Con. John's attendance was last minute as he lives in Chicago and hadn't planned on going until he was contacted at the 11th hour by Mr. Favreau himself. 

Everyone was talking about the trailer, and by the time Saturday afternoon's presentation rolled around the 6,500 seat conference room was completely full and the trailer was met with the same wildly enthusiastic reaction from those in attendance.

Jon Favreau presents Iron Man footage at the San Diego Comic-Con 

At the Paramount presentation on Thursday it seeemed that Jon Favreau would not be able to appear but that he had taped a brief segment for display at the Con. He did a very cute video presentation promising that we'd be seeing early animation footage - it was footage of the old Iron Man cartoon from the 60's.  :-)

He ended up appearing in person. He then went ahead and teased the audience for a bit and ending up showing some footage from the movie and as not only a long time Iron Man fan but as a fan of movies in general all I can say is HOLY COW!

First off was a scene showing Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. He owned the role. Absolutely owned it.
