I Am Neon Man! DST's Iron Man Neon Sign Will Look Great On Your Wall or Desk

February 2012 - Diamond Select Toys' line of Marvel Comics-based neon signs has been getting "glowing" reviews, and now they've added another icon to their wall! Their current offerings of the Marvel Comics logo and Captain America's shield are about to be joined by a brand-new sign featuring the Armored Avenger, Iron Man.

The 12-inch-tall face of ol' Shellhead lights up in bright red, yellow and blue atop a versatile display base, so you can hang it on your wall or stand it on your desk! As a bonus, the sign comes with a sketch-cover variant of Avengers vs. X-Men #1, although we should probably say that this neon sign is not recommended for use as a reading lamp. Pre-order it through your favorite comic shop or specialty retailer today, and look for it to arrive this summer!
