These days he may be better known as the director of more recent films like The Incredibles and Ratatouille, but Brad Bird's 1999 pre-Pixar film The Iron Giant will always hold a special place in my heart. If the same holds true for you, you will probably dig this new deluxe figure by the talented folks at Mondo.

Towering at 16" tall, this figure features over 30 points of articulation and a variety of accessories allowing you to transform the Iron Giant into all of his notable incarnations:

• Two interchangeable heads with light-up eyes.
• Magnetic “S” that can be detached from a Seafood sign and attached to his chest.
• Switch-out “War Arm”.
• Hogarth mini-figure that can sit in the robot's hand or on his shoulder.
• and of course, a girder to munch on. Additionally, the figure includes a sound feature with favorite Iron Giant quotes from the film.

But the best part is, the people at Mondo worked to obtain the actual digital files used in the film, and included them as a built-in sound feature with the robot's actual quotes. As far as collectibles go, this one is truly stellar. Brad Bird himself agrees.

The figure is expected to ship 3rd quarter of 2015, but can be ordered now for $300.
