1/6 Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Diecast MMS198D03 War Machine Mark 2

[bandito]

based on this pic, I would say that die-cast doesn't really add anything to these figures except a higher price and some weight.

but perhaps I'm wrong.

The better design for articulation on the new.... however it could be done without Die-cast.

I really think they cut a lot of scenes in the beginning. First act felt choppy.

Seeing as song #2 on the musical score for the movie is called "War Machine" I'd guess he originally appeared early on in the movie.

HT will most likely re-release Warmachine mk.I sometime later in a diecast form with improved elbow articulations for saluting pose and added weight. Milking, milking..

 

[Ninjaknight]

Anyone think that we can remove the cannon from ver 2 and add it to ver 1?

That would be sooo sweet.

its not as if the previous figures were very limited in posing-options. Most people display them in some sort of basic pose, that doesn't require 9128 points of articulation. I'd be amazed if 5% of the people would actually need those new articulation designs.

Doesn't WM V1 sell for $300 plus? For that price u can get a new.

95% people could just do with just PPS (Neca-like)rather than a MMS

I think a couple have been sold for under $300 in the commerce section in recent weeks.

Top pic WM looks skinny, than posed to V1 WM not so much. Hmm might actually want to to buy it.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

what is the point of this figure? It's NOT EVEN IN THE MOVIE.....geez....does this not bug anybody else? Maybe it's just me. And it's a complete repaint of the IP.

huh? this is WM 2.0. this IS the updated re-release. that's why it's called 2.0

There's a reason why the topic writes "Iron Man 3" & "Mark 2" not "Iron Man 2" & "2.0"
It's not even the same suit (read Iron Man 3 Prelude 1&2).

I do hope they go back to make a 2.0 of the Mk.I

HT already did... another remake of Mk. I, would be 3.0...

Edit: Ok you meant WM Mk. I.... or WM1 2.0

To simplify typing WM Mk.2, I'd just type as WM2

the 2.0 of mark I has already been made, but not in diecast.

maybe the mark 2 version of WM in diecast IS the WM 2.0. they made variances as not to exclude those collectors who got the original WM? that's what i think. i don't believe we'll see another WM variant with the original, mark 2 and IP which is simply a repaint and name change.

 

[bandito]

^He meant WM Mk. I... not IM Mk. I

 

[Darkmatter]

^He meamt WM Mk. I... not IM Mk. I

yup....but with all the IM figures coming out, do you think HT will do another rehash of WM? i think the mark 2 (2.0) is all we're going to see. that's why they did a comparison shot with the original.

 

[bandito]

HT would only likely to cycle back their release if they have exausted any more variants they can release like they did with the Predator series... or there's great demand like DX Joker/DX Batman/Mk. I/ Mk. II 2.0s

 

[bangkok_wolf]

I think it's not far fetched for HT re-release the original WM. Especially with the announcement they made back in January
( https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...44.442666.58690437343&type=1&relevant_count=1 )

But wait, how many Mk were they planning to announce from IM3 ? And with Man of Steel closing in + the similar announcement on the preds ..... If it's possible, It might be a while.

Does anyone have a pic of any Ironman fig displaying with the 1/4 bust ? I'm considering getting the new bust to display along with this. Thanx in advance

Man, the v1 still rocks even though the v2 is not much skinny comparatively!

Seems like WM 1.0 is bulkier only because of the shoulder and forearm mounts.

The legs too IMO.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

1.0 has bigger thighs, but 2.0 has bigger legs overall.
