1/6 Hot Toys - Iron Man 3: MMS197D02 Mark XLII Diecast Series Official Spec/Pics

And ill add too that I find it baffling why HT's would use plastic for the joints... I assumed when they went to diecast they would have made the joints the diecast part, kinda weird to me

anyone else?

whatever helps you sleep at night

Obviously bad QC, hopefully it gets fixed for all you guys, im blaming Shane Black for cursing this suit right out of the gate

One pic of a random from Facebook reposted 500 times, yeah I'm not jumping aboard the panic train yet

I don't have WM or Iron Patriot, do they have die cast joints?

I dont know, havent bought either. Most companies who work in diecast though usually reinforce joints with diecast, just though that would benefit the joint more, with the added weight

Agreed,but what the hell do I know. I question the longevity of those joints,only time will tell.

Are they using the MK42 for Age of Ultron?

Same armor, different paint, reversed colors basically, mk 43 I assume

Hmmm I might actually bite on that one, personally the 42 has too much gold for my tastes.

 

[LipSmack]

Samezies

Love the layout though.

Just finished clips review... im impressed

 

[Furyan]

Yeah I watched his review too,pretty good looking figure. Id like to own an HT metal Ironman at some point and I hope they give us an metal MK3 eventually.

If the lock down the QC (which they may have but time will tell) then I would maybe upgrade to a diecast mk 3/4/6/7

No mk5 diecast?

 

[guy66657]

I think a Mark III 3.0 is long overdue

 

[LipSmack]

No mk5 diecast?

no I dont really care for the suit, plus over the last year I have become very picky and judgemental

only key suits that gave me a warm feeling inside

Its so funny how divided the community is, some collectors are astounded that HT made Bones and then others just can't get enough

 

[CollectorGuy]

bones is nice looking but for that price and limited posing options I just don't know. The fact they made the 42 prototype and not shotgun baffles me.

 

[guy66657]

Maybe HT just wanted to challenge themselves and try to make a super detailed armor.

I think he's next, good chance of that
