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

Yeah, exactly, just a simple blob of blu tak on the peg. It looks fine head on, if you wanted to do it up nice you'd probably want to add a bit of neck material as well- from the side or back there is a gap between the head and the armor neck.

Cool, no additional neck peg require right?

Anyone need one of these for a 43 to trade?

Not if you use blutak, just put some on the armor's peg and stick the head on

 

[dapro]

Cool, just pick up one of those battle damage Stark head from Anxiety Toy.

I noticed couple paint chips near the neck I think because the die cast shoulder pieces were loose in shipping. I might want to touch up the paint. What method or marker you guys suggest for the red and gold paint?

I use a spare mechanic head supported with blu tac. Sits and move around fine and easy to take off

Same here, spent about $30 on ebay for a Mechanic head

Going to have to steal yours and Chiefs look with that. Great pics!

So due to unforeseen circumstances I decided I had to let my 42 go. Being in the UK right now and not a premium member here, eBay seemed like my best choice (yay...). Somebody just gave me a 'best offer' of £25 ($37). Seriously? I know eBay is ridiculous most of the time, but this is a new low in my experience. Did they really think I would accept that??

That's the norm, I got a $30 offer on a Transformer that I had listed for $90.00

 

[Manannin]

It is? Wow, I wonder how often that kind of extreme low balling works...

Got these in this week, gave me more options to pose him!

Very nice, dapro.

 

[dapro]

Very nice, dapro.

Thanks!

Great pictures, dapro!

My second favorite IM suit and figure thus far. I really like the design of both the XLII and XLIII, and the fact that they're both die cast.

 

[dapro]

Once you go die cast with iron man its hard to go back to plastic. I hope they make a die cast Iron Man Midas or Mark 7.

 

[SilverStar17]

Ah, I hope they don't make a die cast Mk VII. I'd be way too tempted to get it.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Yes and yes!

I had the same issue - just got him. The gold, detachable shoulder blades weren't clicked in, so annoyingly my guy has a small chip on his shoulder! It's concealable by moving the shoulder blade over it, so not visible, but irks me. Kinda put me off getting any more die-cast pieces. (or at least diecast IM pieces)

How do you attach the Mechanic BD Tony head to the 42? I notice the pegs are different sizes and was wondering what you did to adapt/allow both to connect to each other?

This figure is nice in hand. I like it so much, just picked up another one.
