1/4 Scale Super Alloy Iron Man 3 Figures from Play Imaginative

[Ultron-7]

So no articulation on these? They all look a bit stiff, and like others say, lack detail, which is a no-no when you're talking high end geek collectibles of this sort IMO.

It says 1/4 figures so hopefully their articulated, guess their just going for the hall of armours pose

these are incredible, what I would do for just IP, I don't believe these are even being released in North America are they?

Sideshow's Premium Format "figures" lack articulation.

Good point, never bothered looking at them due to that fact, time will tell tho, if they are statues then it's an easy pass for me

You can see the joints on the arms especially on IP. I'm all for 1/4 scale but this may be too much price wise, I'll probably only get one.

They are articulated:

So, most of it is diecast, 1/4 scale, articulated and lots of changeable parts. I'd probably take one of these over a SS Maquette, honestly.

Glad to hear they seem to be taking the potential for wear and damage seriously Hot Toys have never made such pronouncements that I recall. Cool that they articulate. Gonna price a lot of collectors out though.

Play Imaginative is really doing Hot Toys a HUGE favor.

They are showing all these armors and almost all are loved by most. Making them very desireable.

Then when anyone outside Singapore realized they can't be had without selling an organ, we'll get thet Hot Toys versions when released. ( of course some would have gotten HT version anyway )

 

[karamazov80]

Supposedly Hot Toys was doing 1/4 scale Iron Man figures, right? If so, they better get a move on or they're gonna miss out on all the hype.

Yea i mean these would be awesome , but they are like what 600 or so a pop? Just too rich for my blood . Maybe if one is really fantastic ill pick it up but i would rather have a bunch of suits at 1/6 for that money i think.

I just love how these are still called "Action Figures" while even surpassing the statue pricing.

Gawddamn the wallet

Was the same for the Diecast. Play Ima announced their Mark VII diecast and then a week or two later Hot Toys announced that they'll be releasing Diecast figures. Hot Toys doesn't really have to worry about the hype dying down, people here in the states are pretty much forced to wait for Hot Toys to release their version unless if we want to pay $600+ to import one of these over into the states. It's good that these are being shown, Hot Toys will see that people want these suits and will be more encouraged to do it to beat their competition.

These look outstanding but like most I will probably only to be able to afford one if any at all. In the other thread it was stated that these will probably go for approximately $610 US per figure plus shipping fees. If these turn out to be rather limited, I could see the price go even higher.

I emailed BBTS a few weeks back to inquire if they plan to sell these and they replied that they do plan to sell them and they are just waiting for SKU numbers from the manufacturer before they list them on their site.

 

[Ultron-7]

Definitely needs more detail added

 

[ThatIsTooReal]

The base they're on look great. All the LED is remote controlled as well.

 

[Viper245]

I think it was stated possibly in the other thread that these will be approximately 18 inches tall.

 

[Coffee Papa Bear]

I hope the find a way to make this stand with out the crotch stand. Looking forward to get these.

 

[EVILFACE]

So who is getting everything Iron Man?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I'd imagine these aren't the finished versions and thus still have detailing needed. They are posable.

+ 90% die-cast, interchanchable parts, remote control lighting, articulated, 1/4 and they've tested for paint chipping and other concerns. For all that the price is in-line with other companies
