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

[tommyh84]

It'll be nice if they posed it in its clean look for one of these exhibits (I'm guessing there's a reason as to why so far they've only posed it this way so far)

My only issues with this figure are the gold diapers sticking out so much with the large gap between the legs and the groin. My other issue is how slim the figure is, it's actually a lot more bulkier in real life. It seems Hot Toys has a thing for making inaccurate proportions when it comes to Iron Man. One thing they could do to easily fix this is make the lower part of the torso bulkier, it just looks too damn slim.

Other than that, I can't wait to own this figure. The headsculpt is the best I've seen from Hot Toys. At least judging by the promo pictures.

it's the posing, I got the guys at Bugis to repose theirs to this so it there is no awkward gap...and besides, I'm sure they'll change the prototype to make it less...gappy

Yeah I suppose. I wouldn't pose it in a way that exposes the gaps anyway, but it would be cool if they could figure out a way to make it less noticeable if one were going for that look.

Pretty cool picture

Pretty cool picture

not bad, why does tony have no armor on his neck?

HT still have the neck too long as usual

 

[BB&WSF]

Same. I like this suit, it had a personality which made it more interesting, the figure could use a little work but will look great stood behind stark.

Like this But then, we will need Pepper too!

Because that's how it always is with him in the costume. The neck brace is added in through CGI. If you notice in the Avengers when they're on the plane with Captain America and Loki in the back seat. Be grabs his helmet and put it over his head, but before that, he has no neck armor and once he puts the helmet, it's magically there.

When he's actually wearing the armor prop like that in the picture, he doesn't have a neck piece. It's added in later.

Yes but that scene is from the film so they've forgot to put the neck armor in with cgi was my point

 

[ThatIsTooReal]

Those undies though..

 

[Viper245]

I think the gap is there for the articulation in the legs but they could tighten it up a bit.

Still a great looking figure imo.

Just saw this for the third time. XLII does have an awkward gap at the torso in some scenes.

You saw it 3 times, I'm seeing it for the first time this Thursday night.

Well at least it's movie accurate?

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

I know right I was thinking of the May 3 US release after watching it again today.

~~~

I'm assuming it's due to them making different physical models of the suit for filming.

3rd viewing? I was trying to catch up to you with a 2nd viewing today but instead I saw Oblivion (pretty awesome movie btw). Will watch IM3 a second time this friday. Not sure if I'm going to watch it again after that, I just want the blu-ray so I can enjoy it at home.

 

[bklynzfinest2k1]

where can i see it online?? any recommendations?

 

[tommyh84]

Other half is treating me to a second viewing on Friday

I suspect that'll be the last time before the Blu Ray for me though..

This is going to be your second viewing?

Damn all of you guy watching it for the second and even third time and we're stuck here waiting until Thursday night.

 

[styleznma]

Will the $25 IRONMAN code work on this guy?

It worked for iron Patriot for me, BBTS PO canceled

Yeah, the third viewing didn't do much for me other than see more details I've missed before,
which can be done more easily by watching it in your personal BR.
