Limited to 50-units worldwide, the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign quickly sold out and many that have hit the market command a hefty premium to its $1.1-million starting price. Powering each GT-R50 by Italdesign is a NISMO-tuned, hand-built 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 generating 710 hp and 585 lb-ft of torque, thanks to larger turbochargers as well as high-flow fuel injectors.

Hot Toys has revealed the “Proof That Tony Stark Has a Heart” Arc Reactor, the very first one he created to keep himself alive and to also power his first suit of armor in ‘Iron Man’. It supplies energy to an electromagnet, which prevents embedded shrapnel from reaching his heart. This “Life-Size Masterpiece Series” Arc Reactor was apparently given by Tony’s personal assistant Pepper as a desktop ornament.

Hot Toys Iron Patriot
If you’re not familiar with Iron Patriot, it’s basically a powered exoskeleton combat suit used by several characters, an amalgam of Iron Man’s armor and Captain America’s patriotism. This armor gives its wearer superhuman strength, enhanced durability, flight, magnetic impact blasts, heat seeking missiles, miniaturized lasers, flamethrowers, and even a communications system housed in the helmet which allowed the suit to interface with any U.S.-controlled satellite or computer network.
