I go back and forth on the shield (given what it costs to secure an exclusive version versus the regular version overseas). Flimsy as the shield may be, hate to lose out on an accessory/posing options on a figure that already comes with so little. And regardless of how it may feel, it does look good in the blogger photos.Actually looks pretty good in Sideshows unboxing video. Could be better but it is what it is. Will probably dump $100 in rewards points toward this one.
Currently I have the Mark 3 Stealth Suit, Mark 7, Mark 43, Mark 44 Hulkbuster, and Mark 47. Currently have the Mark 1 and Mark 85 battledamaged on order. All diecast. I had the Mark 6 and 46, but sold them a few years ago. I will probably try to re aquire the Mark 6 at some point. I prefer the 47 over the 46 personally.
Funny enough, if you compare you'll see it's the exact same as that convention "prototype" that they said wasn't final. The details all match up perfectly with it and not the original prototype.
There also seems to be more of that black wash on the final product which brings out more of the sculpt.Funny enough, if you compare you'll see it's the exact same as that convention "prototype" that they said wasn't final. The details all match up perfectly with it and not the original prototype.
I'm gonna guess the big delay was them having to go back to the original sculpt and then get approval from Disney for that. The suit damage effect was finalized long ago. It's funny what fancy photography and lighting can do.
My plan was always to get this Mk85 BD and the Mk1 to go with my Mk46 as a kind of poor man's Arnour Gallery to have start, end and middle.
). If I got another IM figure it’d likely be Mk50 as I like that particular armor and film better. I just got EG Thor and currently have a “The Big Three” shelf going with him, CW Cap (like that look and figure better than EG), Mk46 (would put Mk50 in its place if I got that) and EG armored Thanos to represent the final showdown. If I got this figure, I’m not sure where in the collection he’d fit and would just randomly be there simply because it’s from “that” scene.
I think so, too. The battle-damaged sculpting may not be any different from that “not final” figure they displayed this summer, but the paintwork on the damage is most certainly improved.
I like the maxnut head more but I'll wait to see how it looks on the body. I do like this new head but only see RDJ in certain angles.
That doesn't sound good. I was just starting to warm up to the idea of maybe getting it with points....
I can't imagine they'll do another redo. It's now or never.
Everything will be redone. That is like saying HT won't make another Storm Trooper. Marvel movie characters will be made over and over again over the next several years, especially for popular characters. It is a cultural phenomenon. It might take a few years, but I rather wait for the right figure then a get a mediocre product.
Agreed on all points, I still love the mark I figure though even in its small scale. If I didnt already have the first 2 mark I figures I would buy this "diecast" version.
