So how many of those forty two Iron Man armors has PI released since they showcased a year or so ago? One?

 

[nightsurf]

Right..keep believing....

I want to believe it at least, because so far they finally released the 1/4 & 1/12 war machine mark 2 & has a release date for 1/12 mk 42 next month

Doesn't look as bad as I thought but still not sure if worth 100usd

If only they wuld have released a ton more from the 42 armors.. I would definitely buy their 1/12 figure since it is my favorite scale since i was a kid but the completist in me cant pull the trigger seeing how long they take to release a single armor , what more all 42..

Play Imaginative, itself, was not at the SDCC, but it's US distributor, Yes Anime, was. As discussed in earlier threads, they had on display the regular edition 1/4 and 1/12 War Machine Mark II figures.

Yes Anime sent out the following Play Imaginative notice a few days ago to customers. For US release, the plan appears to be that US product should be out by the end of September.

Guess PI is on the ropes. Howard's eager to add another pelt to the wall.

This figure came out pretty sweet! I wish we hear more soon from this 1/4 line. It's seem like this is the only one that will be released in this scale

 

[nightsurf]

[Bttfiii]

I remember being impressed with the display last year & the use of the words 'super alloy' got my attention too BUT when my retailer of choice said that he refused to deal with them because of all the problems they cause him, that certainly set off alarm bells & several other people have since told me that build quality can tend to be poor too SO as much as I liked the look of them, I've not bothered trying to preorder any in the end & if I want 1:4 scale I'll probably look at Sideshow's new series of maquettes they are making as there's lots of those on the way & I know I'm happy with their products.

Saw this the new 1/4 WM in Forbidden Planets London's window display earlier today, looked impressive, but they had it marked up at nearly £700... strewth!

You can get Sideshow's 1:4 scale maquette for £300.00..., a much nicer figure I'm sure you'll agree?!? lol
