Avengers Iron Man Mark VII Life Sized Bust

[Hed_Honcho]

I've got one on order from CDUK, I just hope it turns out nice

Otherwise ebay it goes lol

 

[Hewitt89]

Reactor is blue and white-ish even on the prototype, so why order in the first place if you don't like the blueish reactor? I think it's okay, I'm just curious if it's screen accurate or not..

 

[Empir3]

It def had some blue in it around the edges

 

[RobertoBagg10]

I've always said the blue around the edges will help bring out the whitish blue tinge when the light feature is activated. Everything looks okay to me apart from the faceplate which needs to have more of a brushed metallic finish to it as you can see from the Avengers pic above...one more month till this ships

Yea I agree I totally think its designed with the light being on in mind. Also agree we need a brushed metal faceplate. I cant wait for this to come out ><

Shame your gonna be letting him go Ben but I'm guessing the MKVII LSF takes president

 

[RobertoBagg10]

DAMN! Kind of makes you ask yourself questions when they charge $75 shipping to the UK for the Wolverine LSF (which was a pretty big box) yet this Iron Man MKVII bust is gonna set me back $117 is Sideshows shipping charges predominately affected by weight rather than size or have Sideshow just increased their prices again? Then again, in the grand scheme of things, $117 for a largish box sounds about right anyway for international shipping...

 

[DarthChrisDK]

I am looking forward to see some pictures of this.

 

[Collectorcol]

What happened to reduced shipping for International customers?
Suppose that went out the window along with QC.

 

[Hed_Honcho]

Cheap shipping was one of the few redeeming factors ordering direct from sideshow for international customers....$117 jeez, seems steep considering the volume they shift! isn't shipping within the USA free or is that just on select items?

 

[DarthChrisDK]

Yea, it's a devil being international these days. I try and stick with EU sellers, but like in the case of Wonder Woman, I've ordered her directly from SSC. Easy payment-plan and faster shipping (i.e. I will have her as soon as possible). Would like, for once, to have a new release not 2-3 months after everyone else.

 

[Collectorcol]

Selected items.
Whenever Harmonized Codes are mentioned SS says the give International customers reduced postage to help.
Seems a thing of the past. Maybe there is still a reduction but nothing like it used to be.
My last direct order, a very heavy LSB, cost less than $30.

 

[Hed_Honcho]

Just bad times all around for international customers

 

[Hed_Honcho]

Last thing I had direct from sideshow was gizmo, $40 shipping which I thought was a joke given how small and light the package was. Previous to that a 1:2 endo which arrived in a mahoosive heavy box and was $125 which I thought was pretty decent.

Doesn't seem to be any consistency between those 2 prices.

Incidentally they messed up the harmonisation code with that endo and over charged me by £70 something on import tax, I recently had that refunded thanks to members on here telling me the correct harmonisation code

 

[Asdf]

Yup, I have opted for more regulars now to save money, as international collector. Unless the exc item is a must have, simply regular.

Wise move I think

 

[RobertoBagg10]

With just less than 2 weeks before this ships I can't see too many changes made to the bust from what we saw at last months toy fairs...so I'm guessing this is it...

Really hoping it's one of those pieces that looks much better inhand as I was hoping to get a more metallic faceplate...looks like it will have the same finish as used on their MKIII Bust
