I would love it if they made a NEW house party protocol armor or 15.
I'm still waiting for Hammerhead (Mk XXXVII).

Known as this universe’s “genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist”, Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man was a hit with fans and audience. Designed with great attention to mechanical details, Iron Man Mark VI (2.0) and the Suit-Up Gantry set on the roof of Stark Tower is brought to life as an impressive 1/6th scale collectible set inspired by Marvel Studios’ The Avengers.

The screen-accurate Iron Man figure made in diecast material, measures over 32cm tall, includes a newly developed head sculpt of Robert Downey Jr featuring likeness of Tony Stark, LED light-up helmet with interchangeable masks, movie-accurate proportion and detailed armor design, metallic red, gold and silver colored armor, interchangeable battle damaged chest armor and remove parts on shoulder and thigh, hidden compartments on shoulders to reveal weapons.

The 1/6th scale Suit-Up Gantry stands approximately 42cm tall when fully assembled, features multiples articulated mechanical arms and the adjustable annular tunnel design is finished with metallic painting applications. The authentically-crafted Suit-Up Gantry collectible powered by USB recreates the astounding disassembling program of Iron Man’s suit with LED light-up areas located around the annular tunnel and gantry platform/stairway.
Moreover, this collectible set specially includes an additional helmet and armor parts such as chest, shoulders, thighs, back which reveals mechanical details will enable alternate display options.

This Iron Man Mark VI with Suit-Up Gantry collectible set will be an iconic piece for your Hall of Armor collection!

Woowwwzaa!!!!! :panic::panic::panic::thud::thud::thud:

This newer Mark VI is oh-so fantabulous! :wacky

MANNNNN that new mech detail is SPICY!!!! THAT'S one of the big draws for me on most of the IM figures, I just enjoy seeing that extra inner mech!!!! :monkey5:D

AND THAT 1/6 AVENGERS TOWER GANTRY!!!! Me oh my that's gotta be a substantial display piece on its own!!!! :panic:

The new portrait is looking good to me too, and n surprise they include the rolling eye feature!

Geeeeeezzzz, even though I have the first Die-Cast Mark VI, this'll be another AWEsome one!!!!!
 

Ho macarole !! Again, that mech detail :thud: :thud:


Whu....what is holding up that figure as he walks down the stairs? I assumed there would be a dynamic stand that they just painted out in the promo photos.

Yeah I thought either a dynamic stand arm or one of the gantry arms is holding it in place, but perhaps it's just balanced, or they finally are making the feet and base magnetic :lol

Very cool set. It's good to see them continue to develop new sculpts. Hopefully gone are the days where we see them reuse the same one for multiple figures. Other than maybe aging him a little too much I think it's spot on.

Up on Sideshow for $655, which is almost the same price as their new Iron Spider PF.

O wow I think it's relatively reasonably priced. I recall paying around ~$600 for my 1/6 Die-Cast Mark IV with suit-up gantry some time ago. I was preparing to expect it to be around $100+ compared to the dc Mark IV w/Gantry.

I owned the VI for years and it looks identical in every way to me. Had to be some retooling for the change-out internal parts included with the gantry and removable neck for the switch-out head but otherwise it's the same figure.

Yeah I when I initially saw at the promo pics I was wondering if it was utilizing a new mold, but from the looks of it, it seems to be largely identical to the previous version with those additions you mention. So would you say you're tempted to re-acquire this "new" Mark VI? :monkey3
 
I like the sculpt, I'm glad they gave him the slightest smile finally. People don't love Tony because of how stern he is, he's a fun character.

Yeah interesting choice to make it an expressive sculpt, but suiting to the scene this is based on (pun intended :lol )

Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, the only other Stark head sculpt to have some sort of a more smiling expression is the OG Mark VII MMS 185, and heck, that was from nearly a decade ago!

Yeah come on HT! Where's my TFA Cap and Bucky?
Would love a TFA Cap with HT new standards :pray:
yup the tie-in game was super fun and one the best (and one of the last I think) superhero movie tie-in games ever made.

TFA suit is also my favorite Cap suit and have been wishing for a 2.0 for the longest. Hopefully we finally get one

A TFA 2.0 Cap is a musttt!!! TFA's my favorite of the CA films, so I'd defs be in for one!

In some shots there's something off that I can't put my finger on but it's mostly there. My general feeling is positive, that's RDJ.

As Gipetto said, pity they're still going with IM2 battle-damage when it's an Avengers release.

Overall though that's an incredible set. Sigh....I might try and swing it when the time comes. To have both his suits from The Avengers 2012 and a major centerpiece display with that gantry. I worry about customs getting wise to low-value declarations for large and heavy boxes such that this will have though. Also my space problem.

Yeah it does seem a tad irksome with the IM2 battle-damage instead of Avengers helicarrier/Thor scuffle battle damage. No doubt this'll be a showstopper in person and it'll go awesome with the other Avengers figures! It'd go great with the EG Loki 2.0 when Stark says, "Actually I was planning to threaten you." :lol

As far as space is concerned, as some say, that's a problem for the future me :lol

With this figure coming I wonder is there still hope for a 2012 Thor 2.0......that's something I definitely need.

Agreed!!!

I still don't have a Thor.

You what??

I’ve been doing an MCU rewatch currently, and Hot Toys is completely feeding into my urges to collect the Phase 1 versions of these characters. This and the Mark III look absolutely stunning. Love the idea of the expressive sculpt personally, although they have some work to do on it still. I do think it captures the way RDJ played him, especially in this movie before his experience with the wormhole and aliens. I definitely will pass on the gantry for space reasons, but this is going to be one I consider for sure.

Much agreed!!! It'd be awesome if HT revisited some of the Marvel Phase I figures/characters.

Hard agree. This is probably the biggest need in my collection to put with the other versions of Thor I’ll have. Those first costumes for him were impeccable imo.

Agreedd!!! Plus, I'd like a Thor 1 2.0, since that's my overall favorite costume for movie Thor (IW is a close second).

Lol I mean it’s a beautiful piece and a great figure but that gantry…I think people are going to be shocked at how much space will be required to display that. Space I do not have!

Beds take up too much space. Ditch it and sleep on a pile of Hot Toys boxes with a sheet over it like the rest of us.





Wait you guys don’t do that?

Ah yes, the ever recurring issue of space! :lol

But yeah I can see some folks who have/had the previous version not want to go for the regular as well, since it comes with pretty much similar accessories bar the downgraded display stand, unless the new head sculpt would be favorable enough.

Exactly. The gantry and the exposed parts is what makes it a fresh new experience, I think it’d be a must-have but then you gotta have a place to showcase it. But I am glad they are offering the figure separate and for a relatively reasonable price (compared to other diecast iron men) for people who missed out!
 
Will be interesting to see how much the original will depreciate. Already seeing a few new listings on up on eBay at slightly lower pricing than before.

I think the original diecast version is still good. Is there a big leap of improvement on this?

Not that I can tell. Looks pretty much identical in terms of the armor itself. Only real difference are the new headsculpt head here and the helmeted RDJ head on the old.

The way the shoulder, thigh and chest armor attach may be retooled some though. With how thin those exposed pieces are, I would think/hope for those that get it that they would be magnetic attachments rather than stiff ports into a hole.

The original of course was so high value since it’s been sold out for awhile. But, with this new one on the scene, it makes there less of a need to splurge on the old one with high aftermarket pricing unless you’re really after that helmeted RDJ headsculpt
