The first time ever, this is something I'd think about getting for my office... but it's pricey.

Brad Bird Plays with Mondo's Incredible 'Iron Giant' Figure

Quote
Just before Comic-Con last summer, we learned that the collectible arthouse Mondo was expanding their love and tributes to film and television by producing and selling collectible toys for fans to buy. One of the first toys announced as part of their new venture was a huge figure of The Iron Giant, the massive robot from Brad Bird's under-appreciated animated film from the late 90s. Well, the figure is finally available for pre-order starting tomorrow, and to help hype the sale, io9 was given a video of Brad Bird himself playing with the figure, giving his full endorsement, and maybe even getting a little emotional and nostalgic.

Mondo obtained the original digital files to make this collectible as accurate and detailed as possible. The figure stands 16-inches tall and has over 30 points of articulation. He also comes with a bunch of accessories allowing you to turn him into the various incarnations from the film. He also has interchangeable heads with light-up eyes and a magnetic "S" that comes off of the seafood sign so he can become Superman. And perhaps the coolest thing is a tiny Hogarth figure that comes with The Iron Giant as well. It's a salty price at $300, but it looks to be worth it. You can buy it at Mondo's website right here beginning tomorrow.
