Looking at pre ordering this bad boy from Direct Collectibles but not used them before. Any good??

I got the Neca 18" 1989 Batman figure from them & had no problems, they communicated well & the prices are quite good..., I prefer Collectibles Direct though.

Actually I've just had a look at the price of this on DC, I'd not recommend buying it there as it'll set you back £294.00!!! Collectibles Direct are selling it for £250.00 & you can use their layaway payment option & pay as much as you want, whenever you want..., after the 10% deposit but still that'll be £25.00 as apose to DC wanting £30.00..., wondered why I kept forgetting about that website (now I know). :(
 
I've shared this somewhere before but looks like this guy gets to save money on another figure. I think this looks awesome for a custom repaint.

wow...i actually like the colors on this better than HT's haha...the silver parts seem to blend in better with the red & gold than on HT's imo.
 
A great paint job. Looks amazing but if I'm not mistaken the arc reactor is now back to being circle. That's the only difference if u want to be picky lol but paint job is outstanding
 
Excellent paint job! That battle damaged 43 would look great posed, holding that destroyed Mark I Ultron up by its neck.
 
The Mark XLII and Mark XLIII are going to look really cool standing next to each other. Still love the 42 colors with the prevalent Gold, but the red pops on this design. Make the XLIII suit look meaner for some reason.

That would be an awesome pose-off. Put the red LED HS on the 43 vs the 42 like a good and evil face-off

Where are you going to put HB, hokie? haha
 
Yeah this figure is EVERYWHERE in the media. Saw it on multiple websites yesterday when I was trying to find out if Morgan Freeman was going to be Dr. Strange mentor.

I'm guessing that HT will be happy for all that free advertising.
 
I PO'ed it but this, along with MKIII Diecast, will likely be the end of Diecast Armors for me. I have them all (except Hot Rod- didn't need a repainted WM 2.0) and I think Ultron will be diecast but the price point is just getting painful.
 
I am so torn between this and the Mark 42. I mean they essentially come down to the paint swap. Right?

I ordered Mark 43 because I like the 42 so much and know it is basically the same figure. Plus it comes with a partial Mark I Ultron (which saves me from having to buy a full Mark I Ultron for $200+). Plus, it's from the Avengers line.
 
I think it would have been $309 or less if the Ultron didn't come with it. I could probably list that Ultron on ebay and get $70+ for it easily if I wanted to. So that definitely adds to the cost of this one.

That looks way better than the proto, just a bit more subdued and darker on the red. Both the 43 and the diecast Mark III have a way too bright shade of red paint so far.
 
I have enough RP built up to get this for free.

But.......Hulkbuster.
Save it for Hulkbuster. I have $200 in RP and thought of using it on this but I realized HB is right around the corner and is going to cost a leg. If you have $350 in RP I would just save it and use it on HB.
