Is it just the exclusive shipping for the time being? - I need to budget this s**t out... and just get the regular release a bit later on.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The box is ultra cool- the figure looks very high quality but that exclusive little toy figure is quite bad!

Great video!

Yeah, those holographic pieces are forgettable, that is, until Hot Toys releases a light table to replicate the one in the movie.

I'm in a quandry. I can afford MK42, War Machine MKII and Iron Patriot but I don't know how my wife would respond to dropping near a grand on them in a two month time frame. However, being these are what they are, I fear they will sell out and be absurd on the secondary market.

Decisions decisions... Iron Patriot is absolutely on the list. It is just either this or MK42.

This is a brutal hobby for that. At the moment, I've got this, plus an additional 6 figures all arriving between now and late March (totalling a sickening ~$1600.00), but then nothing at all until late August or September. My only advise would be to re-evaluate if you really want all three (I'm not a huge IM fan, so the only one I felt was necessary was War Machine) and only get them if you can both afford those plus treat your wife to some clothes, shoes, weekend away, her hobby (mine's into photography, so that's a pricey hobby, also), etc. That's how I get around any displeasure my wife has when she sees another box arriving at our house, anyway!

I just can't ever see displaying them, personally. I still would've preferred to get the ex, seeing as how I ordered from Sideshow, but it would've stayed in the box.

IP is a given along with 42. This is cool but looks blocky in the shoulder area....perhaps the actual design either way looking forward to these dropping (most likely after CNY)

Money isn't too much of an issue- it's the fact that I spent that much money on "toys." She views them as investments as the price either holds or goes up on these pieces (especially Iron Man pieces typically).

Can't wait to open him up on Wednesday. This is just making the wait for the Mark 42 that much harder. I'm curious as to why Iron Patriot got pushed out beyond the other 2 die cast marks. Hopefully it's because they're perfecting the Cheadle headsculpt.

 

[HDGuy84]

I could completely do without the Cheadle headsculpt. To me it is a useless accessory and would have rather them not include it to keep the price down on the Iron Patriot armor.

Norman Osborn is the Iron Patriot. Period. Despite Tony Stark using the armor in the Ultimates or Rhodes using it in 616/Iron Man 3.

This looks good. Happy HT finally decided to hide those ugly light switches. I wasn't going to buy this but I'm seriously considering now.

 

[HDGuy84]

I just popped on it. We'll see if I get MK42 and Patriot now haha

Hmm, if she views them as "investments", then she's bought into it hook, line and sinker, so I don't see what the problem would be in dropping the cash that you initially posted? Sounds like she's on board.

 

[HDGuy84]

LOL She also wants to go on a cruise and buy herself some Coach purse thing. I just found out they run more than the 89 Batmobile!

 

[HDGuy84]

I guess I'm missing something. I just ordered this but I don't see where I get the little hologram accessory...
