War Machine Quarter Scale Maquette From Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron now available at Sideshow

http://affiliates.sideshowtoy.com/Tracker.aspx?aid=3555&bid=60388
NO SPOILERS, I promise. Just a head's-up that Sideshow is now offering this ridiculously bad-ass quarter-scale War Machine maquette here on their site! Pretty damn bad ass. It's a running joke in our house that if I'm left alone, one Marvel movie or another will end up on the TV. That's just the way it is... Love those goddamn movies! Anyway, see more pics of War Machine here. Kinda expensive, but then again this thing is 22 inches tall. Pretty epic.

Not too long ago, Rocketboy, aka Ryan McClure, got one of his designs chosen by Bold Machines to be a part of their 2015 program. Bold Machines is The Innovation Workshop at Stratasys, an industry leader in 3D Printing technology. Most people are familiar with the name MakerBot, which produces a more affordable 3D Printer. MakerBot is a subsidiary of Stratasys, since 2013. Back to toys, Nohwitz is a cubicle creature, Rocketboy's latest design, which was chosen by Bold Machines to go from design to production. Using 3D printing technology, Rocketboy has been working with Bold Machines to develop, design and produce Nohwitz  into a designer figure. Nohwitz is now ready to be released to the public, so Rocketboy has painted up 10 of these 7" tall Nohwitz figures to be released on May 8th. 5 pieces will have a black tie and will be sold through Rotofugi, while the other 5 will have a red painted tie and be sold through Tenacious Toys. To celebrate this launch, these 10 pieces will be priced at $45 plus shipping.
