If you’ve been to a retail outlet lately you might have noticed that the Iron Man 3 toys hit the shelves. We’ve known for a while that War Machine (Don Cheadle) would be rocking the Iron Patriot look, represented by Norman Osborn in the comics, for at least a portion of the film. Looking over some of the toys (yeah, I’m 12) I noticed the packaging lists Cheadle’s character as “Iron Patriot” when he’s flying the red, white and blue. Not a big deal, per se – I’m guessing the government takes to calling him the Iron Patriot as I can’t remember anyone actually referring to him as War Machine in Iron Man 2, perhaps maybe except an aside from Tony.
For what it’s worth, the toys with the traditional metallic grey coloring are labeled War Machine. Also, I’m never getting laid again as long as I live. Here’s a poster:

It’s, alright I guess? It just looks weird that Cheadle’s actual head is noticeably positioned on top of CGI armor.
his head seems to be approximately 1.25% too large.
Is joe public going to see this poster and think “But isn’t RDJ Iron Man?, ain’t seein this.. bah!”
God that looks cheesy…I guess only 12 yr old boys like this kind of shit…oh wait
‘MURICA!
He does have a tiny head irl. Its way to large in this poster. I recall him having plenty of space around his head in the iron man armor. Even more so then RDJ
Tim Kelly, Don…CHEADLEted by taking different…RHODES from the comic, by becoming a…Patriotic…War Machine! The poster looks…Awesome! I hope Rhodey and Stark have another…MARVELous team up in IM3!
