Of what?

 

[Skillerwhale]

Could you take a photo?

Why don't you just look at one of the several hundred photos released already? This is a non issue. Let's move on.

Of what you just described in the post I just quoted.

Why don't you just look at on of the several hundred photos released already?

Because I don't know which photos of the figure are in the pose just described.

This is a non issue. Let's move on.

Well that was what I first thought. But people who have it in hand are now saying there is a gap.

 

[Motuxmen]

There's pictures of that already.

Bottom line. There's a gap. You can futz it so it's not noticeable. Me posting pics of the gap and then pose it so you don't see it doesn't change anything. I've posted a bunch already

Watch budget Starks video. He does a good job showing the figure

Gap(budget stark video)



Quick five second futz no gap

 

[Starscream Soundwave]

Doesn't look like anything worth complaining about IMO.

Is there no way of sliding the arms down on this figure?

 

[Motuxmen]

What do you mean? Arms don't generally "slide" in my experience

 

[Mark 45]

What do yo mean?

On my mark 7 the shoulders can move down to bring the arms lower. I was wondering if this figure had a similar feature.

 

[Motuxmen]

If you are referring to the shoulder joint being on a pivot and a ball...and calling that "sliding" then this figure has a similar and upgraded feature. But that has no impact on the shoulder gaps.

 

[Mark 45]

Alright. Thanks. I guess sliding isn't the right term. I'm not really worried about the gap as it's needed for articulation, and doesn't look bad to me. I just wanted to know if i could adjust the shoulder height to my preference.

 

[Motuxmen]

Yeah it's adjustable. And the arm has a mid point extender. Like how the legs on some figures can extend. The lower arm can be pulled and extended a little bit.

This figure has a lot more articulation then the mk7.

Alright cool, thanks. And just for clarity, this is the movement I'm referring to;

 

[Motuxmen]

Yeah I figured it out. The ball joint for the shoulder is on an independent pivot. It's essentially a gimbal joint. The ball is fitted into a floating socket. The arm doesn't actually slide down or extend.

Figure is flawless lol agreed moving on.

 

[SoGS]

Maybe the shoulder gap is getting a little blown up. I know I've mentioned it. But I'm in the camp where I'd take less articulation if it meant no gap. I just hope for future marks they implement the same thing they used on the 1/4 scale 43. Basically a piece that filled up the negative space directly above the shoulder joint and underneath the shoulder pad that didn't hinder articulation.

Ah, alright that makes sense. Thanks.

I'd watch the end of budget Starks video. It has a full comp of the 45 and 43. This is a screen grab from Budget Starks video.

From all these photos it is a really nice looking figure, and an awesome Hot Toys Iron Man, but for some reason I've slowly lost my enthusiasm for it and am now preferring the look of the MK46. I've been eagerly waiting for and am enjoying all the great photos. I only planned on either getting one or the other. If these were still plastic I might have gotten both, but at $350 because of the Die-cast it's a bit much. HT did a nice job, but its the design of the armor itself. Plus nothing really memorable on screen with this armor, or even any new suiting up sequence makes it kinda forgettable as far as IM armors go. I liked the pictures of the prototype better. In HT revisions to make it look more accurate, it added some things I don't like. I never liked the MK 42/43, but this comparison photo makes me see all the things I don't like about the MK45 either and why. The picture does indeed make the head look smaller than it should be, and also having an extended neck. The shoulders look too narrow and of course the big gaps are very noticeable. The red thighs also make the legs look too thin, but that's just an illusion due to the design with the vents separating the leg. Mostly though, I cant get past the abdominal section. The horizontal lines going all the way down to the crotch (which the proto did not have) just makes it look like he has no pelvic area, just an extended abdomen all the way down. There's some other things but those are the main things I see I don't like. It's a nice sleek armor, but I'm very selective. I only have a few Iron Man's and buy the designs I really like, which I did with this at first. Again I think HT did a great job overall.

 

[Motuxmen]

A lot of the things you have issue with will be the same on the 46. Especially the time. There's more time between when the 46 was shown and when it's scheduled to release then was between the same with the 45.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I can barely understand a word despite eight years of French. So much for school. Oh well, just look at the pretty visuals.

 

[The Clown Prince]

Nice find YankeesFanboy though all I understood was magnifique, Im so jealous of the space he has for display
