Iron Man 2: 1/6th scale Mark II (Armor Unleashed Version)

[Theokan]

Well it's also just a matter of scale. You can actually see reflections in the second pic I posted. If you look really close at the helmet you can see me taking the photo. You can also see nearly the same exact reflection on the left shoulder in the first pic.

I have the regular Mark II also and there is a bit of reflection coming from the gloss, but remember the old Mark II came before the BD Mark III and it doesn't actual have metallic paint. The regular Mark III uses red + gloss and the regular Mark II uses silver + gloss, the new Mark II now actually uses metallic silver similar to how all the post BD Mark III ironman figures all uses metallic red. And judging from the Toy Hunter pic, the paint they use looks equivalent to about two layers of Alcad chrome, which is pretty impressive for something small and mass produced. Again, the protos and magazine shots didn't get to show off much reflection of the scene so it's hard to tell how much better this new paint really is, hopefully we'll get more pics soon.

I think the difference in the toyhunter and Milk photos vs the Hot Toys official pics is simply just a matter of lighting and how the photos where taken.

Well yes but in a shop you're going to have multiple lights coming from every direction and bouncing off the figure creating that shinier/sparkly look unlike in your home with one or two lights bouncing off it that is diffused.

Same effect in the movie scene/behind the scenes/scene preparation. Multiple lights are all around.

See what happens when you break out a lot of clear small Christmas lights around it with a good camera like what you have.

is the figure going to have abbcrunch joint like the mark4-6?

If it did, Hot Toys would have proudly noted it in their specs or pics, so no.

I wish it did, but it looks like it will not.

I still hold out hope. If something as major as the entire exposed lower legs is being replaced… maybe we'll see some other changes as well. The release date on this is so far off who the hell knows what they'll change.

 

[jayveeeusebio]

Yes on both counts. Pre-ordered from Sideshow since I had like $45 in points I needed to spend. My old Mark II, as I have said previously is being given to a friend gratis.

Oh I see. Wow, what a lucky guy! That's a very nice deed.

 

[dedguy]

It will be his first Hot Toys figure as well.

 

[Centurion]

It will be his first Hot Toys figure as well.

And I will never forget you for doing that for me.
Thank you buddy!

Drinks are on me.

i guess your right but , the 36 points articualation is the same as for mark4-6 keeps my hopes up

something interesting noted in the article; it says the Mech test tony boots are actually just placeholders for the prototype and are too short, HT is sculpting new leg parts to replace the mech test boots which will be taller.

this new MK2 better be as same height as MK4-6

[mr.fan]

freeze frame at 13 seconds, the neck has to be shortened... Looks more accurate!

 

[rubio95]

Interesting. No screws. Around 00:42:00.

 

[Minimodel]

Wonder why they felt the need to do this video?

 

[Centurion]

I love that circular chest reactor.
Can you tell?

 

[baloo]

Wonder why they felt the need to do this video?

Strange, indeed ... Especially since it's not in their habits, it seems to me (but I could be wrong, eh)
