1/6 Hot Toys Avengers: Endgame - Iron Man

[gmoney5000]

I'm literally LOL'ing over here! "Your pictures are ****...welcome to the forum!"

Love my man gmoney!

Lmaooooo I mean when you put it like that...it was all in good, loving, constructive criticism though!

Just joined the forums and I'm gonna throw my opinion into the head sculpt discussion. I think its fine. Under the right lighting very good even. Definitely will be keeping my original when the swap out becomes available.

Pretty sure the headsculpt swap program is over no? Or has sideshow not mentioned it again?

I ordered from Toy Dojo and they said they'd contact me when they got word. Last I read they were en route to sideshow

I wonder what they'll do with the heads that were returned. Simply scrapping them seems to be a waste of material. I wonder if Hot Toys will resell them separately later on.

They can melt it back to the original material to be used again.

That's plausible.

Is the material for the head the type that can be re-melted though? IIRC majority of plastics can't.

I just got in the holo shield from the BD ex to use on this figure and it’s not as cheap as I thought it would be. It’s definitely not premium by any means but I think it looks pretty good on display with this clean 85 version. I do think they could’ve used some sort of paint technique at the very least to help it look like it was sort of glowing rather than just being clear plastic

I've got the holo shield also...in fact I got tons of holo shields. My tupperware covers work great as the holo shield!

Don’t they glow under blacklight?

Possibly? I don’t recall Justin or Jehda mentioning it in their reviews, but maybe they mentioned it in the neontech reviews which I haven’t watched. I don’t have a black light to test it

I was looking forward to trying for myself but then ended up ordering the non-exclusive BD 85 to save some money. Maybe I can get my hands on one separately like you did.

hey, just a question if any of you encountered such shoulder pad joint coming loose (left). and any idea how to get it rectified? thanks!

the springs for the shoulder pads might have been bend inside. detach the arms, unscrew (2 screws) the shoulder pads. remove the circular rubber silver.
might need some force. Straighten back the springs slowly. then put some glue back for the rubber cover.

does anyone can bend mk85 as mk45 like this?

 

[Austano]

Woohoo! Finally got email from Sideshow for my replacement head!

 

[Mr.Tanker]

Here is the notice.

Spoke with worker on phone said they are sending a prepaid label to send back the original head sculpt. Probably should get more information in a future email with the send back.

For all the hassle, Hot Toys should just give this without asking for the original head back.

 

[MKnight]

Looks like I'll have to wait a little longer for mine. I ordered mine from a local retailer. I spoke to Sideshow today. They told me they are processing orders for people that ordered direct from them first.

My issue is not knowing if you'll like the new head more than the original. I know most people like the new head more, but I think it may be a bit too "beefy" and not fit the EG look as much as the skinnier face. The likeness does appear better, but I'm not sure it'll fit my needs more. Add to the typical fashion that items look better or different in hand and I feel it makes the decision very permanent while being sight unseen. It indeed should have been a free item.

Every time I look at this guy on my shelf I can't help but think how off he looks compared to my other iron man figs.

It's like they made the waist/hip section too small so it's out of proportion with the rest of the fig and instead of fixing it they just assembled them and shipped them out anyway.
