On another note, DARTHY!!! Have you been well?

I hope this whole diecast thing gets done with HT. I agree level of detail will SUFFER because diecast CAN NOT outdo plastic as far as fine detailing and delicacy.
I'm not saying this figure will be bad, I'm saying I prefer regular PLASTIC MMS releases. Proof in the pudding- when you can, in hand, compare BD detailing on Mk VI to 42 when it comes out.

While I hope it's not the case, for all we know the battle-damaged parts of the Mark XLII are plastic. The detailing in the prototype photos doesn't look any worse than past releases to my eye, anyway. In fact I'd say its their best since the Mark V.

Hi Femtech!

He'll no! Just recovering from a Hernia operation and my dad died last month. Pretty ****ty time all round

However, I am a positive person and take all the crap life throws at me with a shrug and a smile.

Now, do I need to per-order this mark as well as IP? Didn't like the design much at first but it's growing on me...... will I regret it if I pass?

 

[TheVictor11]

So does this mean they won't do a plastic MMS version of the XLII?

Hot Toys might not even know the answer to this question. But nothing definitive has been reported, one way or the other.

I have to admit I was hoping the battle damage would look like this, I wanted that extra headscult too.

I understand that can't be done with one figure. I hope this means we'll get a real battle damage version in the future

 

[Hound]

Pricing people out of the hobby, still, getting the Workshop Tony and this guy would possibly put my IM3 itch at ease, at least til I see what all is in the film and then announced.

 

[Mix Master]

that HS looks nothing like RDJ IMO. but we wont know until its in hand

 

[kaptainkharisma]

I think the head sculpt looks good

 

[Wulf]

I think it's the best likeness of Tony they've made so far.

 

[Mix Master]

the mark VII has the best likeness IMO, looks just like RDJ. this HS looks like luigi

 

[Wulf]

Mark VII (regular version) headsculpt is good, but reminds me too much of Jeff Goldblum.

 

[Spanbauer]

the mark VII has the best likeness IMO, looks just like RDJ. this HS looks like luigi

Lol, no it doesn't. They're both good, but the Mark XLII looks the most like RDJ in my opinion.

 

[boylost99]

can anyone tell me why the arc reactor on the mark 42 is a triangle one and not circular? does it have to do with the extremis plot and thus tony reverts back to the triangular reactor? thanks in advance!

 

[Loki]

Yeah, the XLII's likeness is amazing. The VII looks nothing like RDJ... The nose is wrong, and the eyes.

can anyone tell me why the arc reactor on the mark 42 is a triangle one and not circular? does it have to do with the extremis plot and thus tony reverts back to the triangular reactor? thanks in advance!

I noticed this, too. I'm confused.

 

[Henry Morgan*]

The triangle is inside the circle, and in Avengers he went back to the circle because Joss Whedon prefers the circle (like me). Its just an artistic design, since IM2 the core inside the reactor is a tiny triangle as far as I know that never changed but its just the shape maybe Tony changed that.
(In Avengers when he doesn't have the armor on you can see the triangle inside the circle)

All the new armors have diferent variants of the reactor but its just on the exterior, I think...
