Latest info from "Milk" magazine:
This Damaged version was supposed to be the a DX (clean, non damage MK3 with P.E.R.S), but HT cancelled this version because of two main concerns.
-First, the P.E.R.S system on Tony takes way too long to manufacture (I suppose there's already a new Tony sculpt done ?) (I guess they are afraid the release time for the B.D. may get too close or even overlap IM2)
-Second, the research and development of the Iron man 2 figures has already begun, every thing need to be done from the ground up.
-The DX's new Stark headsculpt will be used in the IM2 line.
-HT said this is the last IM1 figure
-HT sure wasn't going to waste all the R&D (and $$$) on the DX, so they made the B.D. version instead.
-HT said the IM2 figure will be even more complex and detail then the B.D. This B.D. version is more like an experiment for IM2 project, training ground for the team and the factory workers.
-Some parts of the B.D. version are just way too complex, almost mission impossible for mass production.
-over 90% of B.D are newly develop (is more like 40~50% to me)
Finally, HT is now developing the Mark IV, War Machine and Whiplash.
B.D. version
-flip up head + normal helmet + crushed helmet(exclusive)
-total 7 hands
-2 chest plates
-light up head, chest and hands
-press the shoulder armor, the rocket lancher will rise, same as the hip flare
