Anyone have a way to permanently light up their Hot Toys Iron Man figures?

[JazzInc]

I am currently working on an Iron Man diorama. I have sorted all the lights, except for those on my iron man figures. I was wondering if anyone has found a way to permanently light up their iron man figures? I am pretty handy with a soldering iron.

(How long do those cell batteries last anyway?)

thanks for any and all help!

I heard creating an arc reactor works, but never tried it.

*hahaha* there's always one....

Someone on the boards has done it. Had it wired to an on/off switch located somewhere outside of their detolf. Maybe they will chime in...

Thanks, yeah I saw that too, which gave me the idea, but I don't have $9.999,- lying around....

Anyone have a link to the thread of the other guy?

Best I have seen was a guy on ToysDaily. He wired his Mark II Unleashed to a USB port. It simply can't be done without a bunch of wires sticking out of it (unless you open the figure, re-wire the whole thing and add a switch to it).

I always thought the light features were a waste of resources. Unless they are a one button turns all, or come with a remote control, what is the point? Who is going to spend time lighting all 4 buttons on every single figure?

I totally agree, you never use it after trying it the first time.

I am willing to open up the figure and rewire the whole thing, just wondered if anyone had done it before and had some pointers.

I have my whole house running off the street lighting so not a problem for me

4 people including me are watching that item per hour

It's cool in a sort of way though cuz I always wanted something like this:

Hardwire to one of those clapper lights

Whoa!!!! At that price you can buy a life-size Iron Man armor!

That's pretty sweet. If I had an extra mark vi I'd give it a try and give u guys a deal and sell it at 1/2. Only 4,999.99.
