06.01.2024 - 12:11 / thegamer.com / Jeff Goldblum
Marvel fans were treated to a new installment in the MCU over the holidays, a new episode of What If dropping every day for nine days in a row at the end of December. The second season of the animated show explores various scenarios had things gone differently in the MCU, including an episode in which Nebula joins the Nova Corps, and another where Peter Quill takes on the Avengers. There's also an episode where Iron Man ends up on Sakaar.
Spoilers for episode four of What If season two will be discussed throughout the remainder of this article.
Even if you're not familiar with the name Sakaar, most Marvel fans will recognize it. It's the planet on which the bulk of Thor: Ragnarok takes place, ruled by Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster. In episode four of What If season two, Iron Man ends up on Sakaar after saving the world from Thanos's first attempt to overthrow it in the first Avengers movie. Instead of falling back through the portal he carried a nuclear bomb through, he's stranded in space and eventually crashes into the Grandmaster's palace.
In need of a way to escape and return to Earth, Tony Stark challenges The Grandmaster to a race for his planet, building a Sakaarian version of his Iron Man suit to help him achieve that. That's the armor on which the action figure below is based. A one-sixth scale model, the incredibly detailed figure is available at Sideshow right now by clicking the orange box below and will cost you $495 should you want to own one.
Iron Man's Sakaarian armor from What If has been turned into an action figure, The multi-colored suit has a magnetic mask with LED lights in the eyes you can open to find Tony Stark's face inside. The figure is fully posable and the light in the middle of its chest lights up too.
Yes, that's a lot for an action figure, but as you can see, this is a pretty fantastic action figure. One of the most colorful Iron Man suits ever created, it has 28 points of articulation and a magnetic mask that can be removed to reveal Stark's face underneath. When closed, that mask has LED lights in the eyes, and there's a matching light right in the middle of the chest armor. Last but not least, the figure is roughly 14 inches tall and will start shipping in October 2024.
Despite Iron Man's departure from the MCU more than four years ago, fans of his high-end collectibles are being spoiled to kick off 2024. You can pre-order the philanthropist's Sakaarian armor, and FigPin has launched a Hall of Armor pin collection. Only 1,000 of them will ever be made, and each of the five pins included represents a different suit Iron Man has worn in the MCU.

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name Review
As far as pitches go, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, the next game in what used to be called the Yakuza series, is hard to beat: Find out what happened to series protagonist Kiryu Kazuma between Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The former ended with Kiryu faking his death to keep his adopted family of orphans safe. The idea was his story was over – he was moving on to the next chapter of his life. Developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio pitched it as such. Until the latter, when he showed back up, playing a large part in a game that was supposed to, and somewhat did, launch new series protagonist Ichiban Kasuga into the limelight. For the most part, Gaiden is an interesting bridge between those two games – even if it doesn't always go as deep into Kiryu's character as I hoped.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Has The Most Nominations At The Dice Awards
We know that “winning lots of awards” isn’t exactly a “critical game development goal” when creating a video game. After all, it’s impossible to know what people will think of your title after you make it, even if you’ve spent years working on it, and even if you DO get nominated, it’s not a guarantee you’ll win. That last part was personified by Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 over the last month or so. Despite being one of the best games of 2023 by a large margin and being nominated for tons of awards across multiple sites and shows, it hasn’t exactly been “raking them in.”
