MMS Diecast - Iron Man: 1/6th scale Mark III Collectible Figure

[Furyan]

My dad says this. You must be really old.

How come HT didn't match the maroon of the first two Mark IIIs?

It's simple really Howie,or Howard was waxing his BMW at the time and said you know what? I love this red,I think I'll paint the new MK 3 the same s**t color. No one will notice cause I'm ritch bit*h. True story.

That's the million dollar question Some have suggested they wanted to use the candy red so it would blend in with the 4-7 figs but no one is certain.

HT should've just gone with the maroon and gone the extra mile, fixing the proportions and improving the articulation. HT should've also abandoned that abdomen section...the fact that you can break up the figure into three pieces feels so cheap.

That's probably what happened.

 

[ironmann]

Yeah, I agree with peoples' complaints but I like the MK3 a lot!

 

[YankeesFanboy]

That's the thing, if you're happy with it, who gives a **** what others think? Great pics.

It may not be maroon, but it is darker in person than a lot of photos (such as above) suggest.. It reminds me of a toffee apple.

 

[skyray24]

It might not be the most accurate, but I'm more than happy with mine!

Although.... id still trade it for a MK6

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Mark VI? How about a Mark IV, V or VII? Nice pic, by the way.

Its all about the mkVI for me

okay so I recieved mine today from a fellow board member. Right out of the box my first impression was "WOW" on the paint app. It does have a super high gloss to it but to me it looks freakin smooth! (Can I say freakin?) I did find the articulation very lacking after messing around with it but Im going to stick this in a gantry anyway. All I can say is that this DC version puts the last versions to shame!!! I was going to keep my old version and forget this one but Im glad I didn't. All and all I'm happy with it. If you nitpick at all of a figures flaws you will drive yourself mad. Half the time when I look at a hot toy, the movie flashes in my mind so I tend to oversee minor gripes and flaws. Nothing in this world is perfect...I've accepted it and moved on. Money well spent in my book

I'd (figuratively) kill for a Mark V...

Me too. Maybe even literally.

Here is what IMO HT should have released to 100% satisfy my expectations.
I´m not too dissapointed but, as i said, there are some points that could be different to match better mark 3 armour.
Here is a comparision i quickly tweaked with PS.
I stole someone pic fot it
Dont know is i can upload animated gifs. I´m sharing an static one too just in case.

The MKIV/VI figures have a fantastic front silhouette...



The rubber panties also look better than the hip flaps and crotch gap.

I have the MKIII on order but the MKIV remains my favourite.

This looks so wrong but feels so right!

 

[IronManny]

Wow, Inigou, that was a great way to show the difference. Too bad we'll never get that figure.

 

[Craig Walker]

Ooooh niiiice. How would you rate the 5200? I'm in need of an up an upgrade, but I'm not sure how deep I wanna go...

anyway, can't wait to see some pics (if you take some)

I will

I'm no expert. But the 5200 serves what I need [for now]. I'm happy.

Why you do that? The left one is perfect.

Sorry buddy. Not my intention.

 

[IronManny]

I enjoy the figures....even with the flaws: wrong paint, faulty paint, etc. I feel privileged to be able to purchase several figures a year. And I enjoy the back and forth on the boards concerning them. Debate on, my collector friends.

It's only after talking to the general public about the figures that you realize how small our community is.
