Hot Toys - Iron Man 2:Mark IV Limited Edition spec

[jye4ever]

Thanks for the review and photos riddick

All I ask though is that you never compare anything Iron Man to the Twilight movies ever again, that was painful to read

 

[Buttmunch]

Wow! I never realized just how bad that head was until now. Night and Day! Glad to have the new one coming now!

You have to wonder where Hot Toys goes from here. When the Mark III first came out, it looked damn good.

 

[Buttmunch]

That is the scary thing isn't it? I mean when they improve that much in just, what, two years? What is the Iron Man 3 or Avengers sculpt going to look like!?!

This gives me high hopes about a new fantastic Jack Sparrow though!

If you go back another two years the old mkIII head looks amazing in comparison to some of that stuff.

It still does (but not the headsculpt of course). The Mark IV looks a lot better not only because HT improved their technique, but also because the Mark IV armor as a whole is more aesthetically pleasing.

I agree, the mkIV armor is a more attractive design than the III. In particular the legs are a vast improvement.

I will be nervous as hell trying to install those back flaps.....

 

[butters149]

Does anyone know why they decided to leave the flaps uninstalled?

 

[butters149]

Also I don't get the part of the instruction that says you have to pull up on the waist to move him?

Avoid damage to the paint job i'd imagine ..

Really? Ive always liked the Mk III alot better. Particularly I dont like how skinny the arms and ankles are on the MK IV. It throws the whole look off, especially when the shoulder armor has been made alot smaller. Without the big arms and shoulders you lose that heroic "upsidedown triangle" look to the upper body and instead have a skinny guy with a barrel chest and thunder thighs.

While it doesn't look all that bad on the hot toys figure due to some reproportioning, some shots of the movie suit just look wierd.

[Hydeous]

Even though I put it behind glass display and no sunlight at all in the room.

The IV has much more natural body proportions. To me the II/III looks awkward and weird with the uniformly narrow legs, the wide shoulders, and very narrow waist. I really noticed the differences watching IM2 again during the scene between Rhodey and Stark fighting in the IV and II respectively. With the mask flipped up even in the film the actor's face looks very weird stuck on that body, where it works well on the mkIV.

The IV/VI share a lot of anatomical parity with the human body where as the II/III does not at all except for parts of the torso.

I've been asking for awhile now, but does War Machine fit on those bases?
