1/6 Hot Toys - MMS378D17 - The Avengers: Iron Man Mark VI Collectible Figure

[Sardo Numspa]

I have the Diecast Mark 4 but for some reason really want this too, even though they're the same mold

Anyone have both and can share side by side pics?

I don't have both, myself, but I actually prefer the Mark 4 - no silver, just red and gold, and I prefer the circular arc reactor.
But I bought the Mark 6 because I had WM 1, and I wanted to emphasize the different characters, so I figured the triangular arc reactor would help with that.

"I am Iron Man".

Busted the first panel below the chestplate off today while taking these photos (it's attached to a spring-loaded arm) but superglue is doing its thing right now and hopefully by tomorrow he'll be good as new.

I never regretted picking up the diecast re-issues when I already had the plastic verisons. But I think the diecast figures should have come with the same amount of battle damage options as the previous plastic version. The plastic mark vi had swappable, shoulder, bicep, leg pieces and a completely separate BD arm.

It was actually kind of weird that it came with similar BD parts to the original VI, considering it was labelled the Avengers version, where the resulting BD in that movie was different.

Despite being someone who in the past has complained about non-stop Marvel from Hot Toys I've actually been surprised lately at how much they don't make. Unmade characters aside, full battle-damaged variations on the various Diecast Iron Mans seem like a handy way to cash-in and yet that hasn't happened with exception of the upcoming BD Endgame figure.

Battle damaged versions would have sold a lot better than the neon ones.

I also sold off my plastic Mark VI when I transitioned to diecast Iron Men. While more interchangeable parts in theory is better, in practice it drove me nuts how if I so much as glanced at the plastic Mark VI, something would fall off. Especially the interchangeable leg panels. Maybe that was just mine, but for that reason I don?t miss them one bit.

Yeah, that would upset me too. Thankfully, I didn't have that issue. The diecast reissues are nice but the mark vi was definitely one where we were paying more for less.

I never had that issue. I just have to occasionally glue parts back on these things out of the box lol

I guess my plastic Mark VI was a special case. The chestplate fell out fairly easy too.

Diecast Mark VI definitely saw a drop off in interchangeable parts compared to the plastic Mark VI (and cost like $150 more to boot), but compared to today?s $425 Mark 85 who only comes with hands and a cheap looking backpack accessory, VI diecast was an extremely generous release! Or maybe I only feel that way because between selling a Diecast Mark 42 and a pile of Sideshow reward points he cost me almost nothing at the time

Haven't done this pose in so long I forgot it was possible.

Yeesh, that plastic Iron Man face is way too long and out of proportion!

How probably do you think it is this and WM Mark I being released as reissue in the near future?

Only Hot Toys can answer that.

I seem to recall hearing a rumor about this. Hoping it’s true.

If they do they should make it a variant showing off the battle damage from Avengers and not (oddly seeming the branding on the box) Iron Man 2.

Will give people the reissue they want but it?s different enough that for people who care about value of figures it won?t affect the original release.

 

[a-dev]

If they ever did reissue the VI I'd probably now buy it and sell my IV so as to limit my Iron Mans to the Avengers movies.

Which Iron Man has the most possible display options using the included accessories? Mark VII maybe? Mark VI has got to be up there.

I mean they both have a lot. I prefer the Battle Damaged parts on the 6, they flow better with the rest of the figure. 7 has a few more weapons (like on the thighs) and also the pod (which I doubt anyone uses). Also prefer the 6s base.

I don?t know. I love the 6. And it did so much in the films: Battled Whiplash Mark 2, Thor, Loki, repaired the Helicarrier. Such an epic suit.
