So does he come with a chair? Looking at Sidehows pics, the chair is now gone.

It was listed in the specs. It's a must IMO and I'm pretty sure it's included.

It comes with the chair. What I don't understand is the price! Every figure from Iron Man 3 had been close to $300! WTF hot toys. Man of steel figures are $50 cheaper! This is a great figure but not $50 better!

What are you even talking about?
This figure is cheaper than most of the Iron Man 3 figures and most of the Man of Steel figures other than Superman.

Want to show me where? Here in Australia it is $270 plus shipping. I paid less for my man of steel figures.

Sorry I assumed you were in the U.S. On Sideshow he's less and only more than the Man of Steel Superman.

Well I finally saw the movie last night and I can see why some people are so angry, they essentially turned IM's arch nemesis into a joke. Kinda makes this figure pointless IMO, I mean after that reveal are people really gonna pose this guy with Loki and Red Skull?

He is one of the few figures I'm on the fence about. Just not sure if it makes sense having him with monger and whiplash since well....but the figure looks great so I'll probably get him if he doesn't sell out before releases and I don't think he will.

I loved the movie, but seriously, HT must have crapped their pants when they saw what this character turned out to be.
They would have sold 10x as many, if he'd actually been a bad a$$ villain.

...and the bad part is he did start out as an awesomely badass villian.
I don't completely dislike what they did but it was gratuitous. No need for more comedic relief when you already had RDJ with his antics with the 42 all through the movie.

I had no idea what was going to happen when I saw the movie on opening night....but I had a feeling something odd was up, because in all of the previews they showed The Mandarin threaten Tony, but they never showed him actually doing anything like fighting, etc.
And I also wondered why in the world Tony would need so many suits to fight one guy.

So Hot Toys can sell all of them instead of all the Mandarians they lost with him being a joke.

I am happy to buy this figure because I am now going by the "Mr. Freeze" principle. In other words...The character in the movie was not great, but as a 1:6 scale figure, it would look totally amazing.

I think I'm going to get it because the sculpt looks great, the costume is awesome and it's friggin Ben Kingsley. Once I get a Vito Corleone and Nick fury, I'll have several of the greatest/my favorite actors of the last 40 years in hot toy/ 1/6 form... Kingsley, Sam Jackson, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, etc. I like having truly epic actors as amazing toys, even if what Marvel did with the Mandarin was as a character is sacrilegious. I just like to imagine that the figure is the Mandarin that should have been and Kingsley would have been incredible as and was incredible as for the first part of huge movie.
But because of where they went in the movie, I'm surprised they aren't making an Aldrich Killian.

I've never been that much of a Iron Man fan before the movies, so I didn't mind the twist that much (found it quite brilliant, actually 
), but I get where some of you are coming from. Anyway, whether you like the twist or not, I think it's an outstanding figure and a definite PO for me.
