1/4 Hot Toys - QS005 - Avengers: AoU - Iron Man Mark 43 Collectible Figure

And now the long wait begins.

True, but if it goes out tonight I should get it next Tues.

can the shoulders be pulled out/extended like mk42?
I can't wait to see Previous armors like mark 1 to be made by hot toys in this scale

The arm is on a barrel as in the 1/6 suits, but the barrel is deeper in the body and doesn't extend as far. Also, it doesn't pull out, just rocks forward and back. Works well for chest articualtion, but the chestplate gets in the way a little.

hi, thanks for clarification. the chestplate sure hinders the shoulder to move forward a bit.
Now I have him almost a week and my only nitpick is the base could be better, or the ultron looks cheap compared to the iron man himself
Anyways, this is one of HT's finest work

Here is one final picture of my custom quarter scale Mark 43 now that the display case is done. What do you think?

[Manannin]

Now that looks incredible. Brave of you to get stuck in with such a big/expensive figure, but once again you pulled it off! Bravo Joost!

I could never customize a figure that I spent over $500.00 on.

Still waiting... it's been in customs 5 days..

Thanks! There's a guy in the Netherlands who makes them custom. 300 euros for this one. And I painted the base myself for that price

Thank you. This was a major challenge I can assure you.

I'm having some trouble with my figure and thought I'd ask for advice here. The screws on two of my battery covers are too tight for me to move; I have stripped tight screws when trying to take them out before, and don't want a repeat performance here. What can I do?

 

[Motuxmen]

Are you using a true screwdriver or the one that came with some figures?

 

[InebriatedGnome]

Using a small Phillips screwdriver, not the plastic one

You need the exact right bit for your screwdriver. Try a PH0 or PH00 and see which has the best fit. Put pressure on the back of the screwdriver to ensure it doesn't slip and keep it perfectly perpendicular.

Thanks! I've been trying with a #0 screwdriver; I will find a #00 and give that a shot. Is there any way to lightly lubricate the screw so it comes out more easily?
