1/6 Hot Toys - Infinity War - Iron Man

[SoGS]

Nice. Hope it isn't greedy to hope for more updates. This armor literally has endless possibilities, so it'd be nice to see many more of the on-screen weapons make it to production.

Yea I’m liking the look of those there. More updates would be nice, hopefully we’re on the right track and this is just the beginning

So these "Controlled Flight Thrusters" replace the "Attachable Nano Boosters" (butterfly wings) shown in the original prototype pics, correct?

Well with that quite (even for Iron Man and IW) high price. Some additional tech makes sense.

Agreed. I'm really hoping they throw in the shield or the swords too. For this much money I feel like we should get some more accessories.

With all the money flowing around this franchise you'd think they could do a little better on the English and/or translation.

Makes sense to me it does Yodasan

But reading this again, and changing "taken" to "taking",

"Taking direct inspiration after the release of Avengers: Infinity War"

It's actually as we've seen on other figures. Hot Toys obviously does not have a lot of info when they start the development of these figures. i.e they are also only going by the trailers etc like the rest of us. (This is actually mentioned in a video showing a bit of behind the scenes at Hot Toys a few years ago).

Especially for incredibly secret films like IW. Therefore they are playing catchup now with some additional moulded accessories to fit to this figure

Wonder what else will be added ??

So true in regards to what information HT was provided before the release of this film. Usually, licensors will get 3D files of characters months before the release of a major film like Avengers but since IW was shrouded in secrecy, I bet only the major manufacturers got those files if at all. Look at the art of book, those usually come out with the film but IW’s won’t be available until November.

It also makes sense that we are starting to finally see the “upgrades” now that the digital release of IW is just a couple weeks away (July 30). I definitely think we will see at least 2 more accessories/upgrades before the figure is released which is why they decided to go with such a high price tag.

I’m also hoping for an optional accessories pack that will include everything that’s missing from the main release even though I know most of the community is against this idea. Cheap *** ****ers want them to include everything, which WILL NEVER HAPPEN, but at least the hardcore collectors would have the option.

I have this on PO, so it's coming regardless...I would like to see a more elaborate dynamic base/stand and maybe more movie-themed accessories like those that were included with the Mark 43, 45 and 46. We'll see!

Basing what they may do on this being a high price point is a bit misleading. It’s higher at Sideshow. The price hot toys actually charges, like at Secret base, has pretty steady for a couple years. This and the mk42 are only like 30 dollars difference at Secret base. So it’s hard to say this will get more stuff due to price.

As for things changing..hot toys would have started prototyping this a year before the film dropped. I’m sure they where provided with all the digital files. Things just change in post. Happens all the time. Don’t think IW is any different on that. Gladiator hulk was changed in the same way.

Base won’t change.

Why is Sideshow charging so much for this figure? I didn't know that the price hadn't changed much at secret base.

The more I see this, the more I like the contrast to my III, VI and 43.... price and all...

There’s a variety of factors involved. Budget stark has a few posts/videos about it.

Thanks for the quick response, I'll definitely check those videos out.

This is gonna be the crown jewel of my hot toys collection outside of my Hulkbuster 1.0

 

[charter321]

I said I wasn’t going to buy this at that price point but I did

No will power. Now I just pray we don’t get a new armor for A4 or they finally release an armor they’ve been waiting on releasing in diecast. I will cave for mk VII
