Hmm, thanks Aleste. I've fired them an email to get a status update on where the holdup is.

 

[nightsurf]

anyone here made a new base for this beast?
I decided to not use the original base and looking for something else

What I wouldn't give for a 1/4 Cap and 1/4 Spidey!

Alright. This might be inadvisable but I've decided I need a flight stand for this guy. Any ideas regarding stands that are strong but unobtrusive? Perhaps a DIY project.

 

[Starscream Soundwave]

That would have to be one heavy duty stand

 

[nightsurf]

it would be cool if someone can make a stand using magnet just like egg attack iron man floating version

thanks for sharing this royce!
this is a heavy figure. so I might think twice using that stand.
could leave a dent or two around the crotch and back section I fear

 

[InebriatedGnome]

It's very cool, but not what I had in mind. Was thinking more lateral flying poses, since this is the figure that can do them best so far. Maybe impossible, but I can dream.

 

[Royce12]

Yeah seems like that would introduce lots of weight balance issues and you would hate for this guy to do a face plant.

I can see why some members have now gotten rid of their 1/6 scale Mark 43. Something about having this 1/4 scale in hand diminishes the overall appearance of the 1/6 scale and the proportions do seem off by way of comparison. The 1/6 is still a good figure - it's just that this one is even better.

I just don't see why people compare them... As in one or the other. And the same goes for when people talk of trading up to quarter scale. I marvel at both for different reasons. Sure quarter scale looks better, but I wouldn't collect an entire Age of Ultron or Civil War lineup of it..

I've only had a quick look at mine so far, one thing stood out was the mouth section under the faceplate is not fixed to the head, has mine just not had enough glue on it, I don't think it should be removable, or should it?

you can see on several pictures over the web or watch on youtube review to learn about this.
one or two pics of your figure's head will help fellow freaks here to see what you're talking about

It shouldn't be removable, I don't think.

I posted a while back asking about this but I didn't provide pictures. Is it okay to just glue this piece back?

Mine was like this out of the box where the piece just fell off. Looks like it wasn't glued enough.

Sorry for the double post. I forgot to attach in the one above and editing won't let me attach.
