The Iron Man Factory is now open for business. That means, you can buy the best Iron Man suits we've ever seen. It'll set you back $2,000 or so for one, and you'll have to wait for a year to suit up.
The company is now taking pre-orders for mass produced, cinema like Iron Man III suits. 5,000 people will have to order the $2,000 suit before they even start the eight month long manufacturing process.
According to the company's website and demo video (unfortunately taken
down because of copyright violation), the Iron Man Mark III suits only
weigh about 6.6 pounds and are made from carbon-fiber reinforced polymer
for the body with 2mm EVA internal cushion linings and metal joints for
stability and durability, touch activated helmet and "intelligent" LED lighting.
The suit will fit people between 5'5" and 6'1".
Each suit also comes with a "sensor enclosure opening system" that slides the face plate up and down, light up eyes powered by AAA batteries, and a jetpack that flips out. If that's too much suit for you, you can pre-order the helmet only, for just $1,300.
If you don't want to wait, Iron Man Factory will actually 3D-print a suit for you right away for just $35,000.
