Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Starboost

Re: Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Gemini

I think the idea is that the whole faceplate is see through, but mirrored gold on the front, like an astronauts visor. The eyes light up from behind the visor. Not necessarily on the figure, but on the actual suit design.

eeh?? no eyes?? Kinda looks weird?

I thought it had eyes.

Maybe prototype? or is it supposed to be like that?

The concept art had no eyes, but it has eyes in the movie

This is the armor I was really waiting for and it doesn't dissapoint. It just looks completely different.

Having said that I agree with Blue Lion. The lack of eyes is kind of strange.

I don't believe the suit HAS eyes. As in eye sockets. I think the faceplate is see through, like an astronauts helmet. The eyes just illuminate from behind it.

Bingo. The entire faceplate is a visor.

It looks like it may light up where the eyes are located. Either it's lit up or it's a reflection, very hard to tell in that image.

Thankfully someone noticed I explained the lack of "eyes". Looks like a great suit, I'll probably get this.

Is the arc reactor going to stay like that? It looks like its all plastic and doesn't light up. Might just be the proto.

Looks like a prototype. Would be cool if the eyes light up.

Re: Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Gemini

The eyes need to be further distinguished either painted, with a different transparent material or something, and the ARC reactor needs to be in the chest. Light-up is all good and fine, but I never use. Otherwise loooks cool.

Re: Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Gemini

I'm sure the ARC will light up, this is a really early proto, you can tell it has no articulation or anything. I disagree about the eyes tho, it should stay true to the actual suit.

I like the paint job on this armor, apart from the weird Daft Punk head.

No arc reactor light and solid faceplate indicate to me that this is almost assuredly a proto.

I agree. Looks like a solid chunk with a quick paint job.
