Can't imagine that the production size was very big on this guy... did not seem to have much
in the way of "positive buzz" about him.

Everybody waiting on the final product release to see if it's actually worth a purchase or, is it as terrible of a design choice as it seems.

This figure is gonna turn into a yellow discolored clear plastic mess.
Only reason I would get this is if I commission an artist to repaint the clear armor bits to match the rest of the figure. Not to mention it looks like they just cancelled that War Machine that they teased for this line.

I sort of understand what they were going for with the clear plastic, but I still disagree. Unless the light hit it at an ideal angle to emulate that classic comic book art, the plastic is more distracting than anything. And as said before, there's serious concern the clear plastic discoloring over time.

A customizer is gonna pop those plastic pieces off, and if the figure looks fine without them, people will buy this. But I kinda doubt it's going to look fine.
Yeah. It's weird. A brand new diecast Iron Man release in a brand new mold and...crickets everywhere?Still not seen a single photo of this in hand

I have pre-ordered this one. Really looking forward to seeing it soon! ☺

Broke and happy
Good luck getting rid of the dust that will accumulate under the clear plastic bubble boy.
What they really mean is...
"Due to the issue of nobody actually pre-ordering or even asking for this, all stock has been returned to the factory to be melted down for re-use in a future IM release."

Wow... a figure no one really liked having "issues" with the base and all stock returned to the factory
as a result of it? Really not a good look, Hot Toys. Yikes.

Not gonna spend $400 dollars on a figure that will turn into a nasty yellow tint shortly after purchase. What the heck is Hot Toys thinking? One of those examples of someone taking a perfectly good thing and going overboard to try to be overly creative.

Dump the clear plastic armor pieces, and make the affected armor areas that much wider to compensate. Either that or scrap the whole project and take the loss.

I really hope they take the hint and make a version without the ****** plastic. I love the sculpt otherwise.
