1/6 Hot Toys - MMS664-D48 - Iron Man - Iron Man Mark 3 (2.0 For Real This Time!)

[MedievaL]

With respect to the Mk 85 or this release? There was something bugging me about this one and I finally figured out what it is - the proportions, especially with the Tony Stark head on the thing. With that sloping shoulder armor, he'd need a neck like a stork to actually wear this thing, and he'd have to dislocate both shoulders in order to have even the slightest chance of his arms reaching those positions. I know almost all IM figures are a bit off when it comes to "man in the suit" believability, but this takes it to another level. If I bought this the head sculpt would never leave the box.

The practical suit has those sloping shoulders too.

Where were these pics taken?

Where were these pics taken?

One of the Hot Toys stores in Hong Kong I believe. Secret Base provided them.

Looks like the same store Reagan goes to at the end of the Arena Fett video (12:00). I recognized the crack in the floor.

Wonder if hot toys will re-issue the 1/4 mark 3........

 

[Dave_W]

I think the 42 is the only 1/4 scale that's had a re-issue. I can't see it myself, definitely not while this is up for PO. I'll take a Mark 2 though.

This looks great but after the last dozen iron men that have hung around and ended up being discounted, I can wait.

Up at Sideshow, $455. $9 more than the Mark 85 BD.

I thought we were done with exposed screws on these iron mans... this guy still has one on the back that the old versions also had.

That ab crunch looks good. So does the battle damage this time around.

First special item that seems worth it -- crushed helmet.

The more I look at that ab crunch, the more I think it's an entirely new approach for them. Something more like the Threezero Transformers figures with a working spine rather than the traditional thing where you have to extend the torso twice. I'm not seeing the usual gaps here and it actually looks like it's crunching. Whatever they're doing here it looks aesthetically way better than even their most recent Mark 85.

That’s outrageous!

 

[GreenRanger-Kush]

Done.

 

[Rbeato]

Ouch! $455, and Tobey Spidey deluxe $445. Pure insanity. Don’t think I can pass up this iron man tho.

 

[guyver1]

Steep price..but I’m going to wait on this…It’s IM..HT will have plenty of the reg deluxe

 

[Spanbauer]

I think there's a lot more bang for the buck here than we've gotten with other recent Iron Man releases that have cost nearly as much. That diorama base could easily sell for $100 on its own, and it's been a minute since they've given us this many change-out parts.

That said, I'm sure once this thing has been out for 6-8 months, one will be able to pick it up for $100-$150 less than MSRP, although probably without the crushed helmet exclusive.

 

[maalmurph]

445 for the Regular (w/o the crumpled helmet)? It looks nice, but I’m gonna have to say…

And I thought 375 for the War Machine Mark 1 Reissue was pushing it, geez

Like I just had the Mark 85 Battled-Damaged delivered to my door for $350. Sideshow was just selling it for $46 off, too. There's a lotta profit margin on these diecast figures, meaning there's a lotta room for considerable discounts.

Unless of course they start cutting their production numbers and stuff starts selling out before it ever comes in stock again. Then we'll all be back to panic-pre-ordering
