Nah, I don't know, if I had to guess I say first quarter next year, around the same time as marvel legends. The reason I say that is because I haven't seen either of them on Ebay yet, and if they were going to be out by Chistmas, they'd already be showing up from factory workers with either stolen figures or factory rejects.
I suspect that the Neo-Classic is going to be in the same assortment as the Extremis and WM, though the Stark Racing armor might bump WM if Hasbro is doing a 3 fig assortment like they have on shelves now.
The 6" movie Thor, Cap, and Fury have all been released in the Philippines earlier this month, which would put those at a October/November release in the States if you're interested though.

Found the ML scale Crimson Dynamo and newer War Machine at Walmart a few days ago, so don't give up hope, they're still popping up out there.

Okay, I found another Iron Man Armored Avenger (Legends scale)Crimson Dynamo at one of my Walmarts. I'm offering it here for cost plus shipping.

Anybody still need this guy? PM me by Monday or back into the wild he goes.

The 6" line has started hitting TJ Maxx (and presumably Marshalls) at an awesome $4.99 each. I picked up Initiative War Machine today.

What this means for our chances of ever getting the Neo-Classic armor figure, I don't know. They put the money into producing the thing, so I have to assume Hasbro will wanna release it at some point.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him pop up in some sort of "Avengers Legends" line up later in the year, like they did with Thor and Cap.

Considering it's my favorite armor, I'm a bit annoyed it never seemed to materialize.

So anybody have any news on the 6 inch Neo-Classic armor figure?

It's been three months of crickets.

I still look for it every time I go to TRU, but I think the writing's on the wall as far as the 6" Iron Man line.

Best I'm hoping for is that, since they already made the mold, it'll show up in some kind of Avengers or Marvel Legends multi-pack or something.

Heck, I'd be happy if it showed up in a Legends wave down the road (like, say, Wave 4 or 5).

Considering how many "one shot" armors we've gotten (Thorbuster/Hulkbuster, for example), I can't believe one of the main armors has been ignored this long.

I found #46 Storm Surge Armor Iron Man 3 3/4" at a TJ Maxx today...checked my other local stores to find nothing else. A few google searches later did reveal that lots of TJ Maxx's & Marshall's got many of the #41-46/01-05 in over the past 2 weeks.

That's cool. I asked about them earlier in this thread but I guess nobody knew nothing. Never saw them in any stores. Weird how they went right to discount stores, albeit slowly. I may take a look for them myself, but I'm not gonna bust my ass hunting for them.
