The mark 7. It's an awesome figure, but I've had it for long enough that it's no longer enough to keep me away from this die cast beauty.
yes it certainly is.
The VII was my first too. It's a great figure, but it does feel a little flimsy and I do miss the diecast feel. Plus the leg articulation is very outdated now. Can't wait to get the 45!
it was my first armor as well. i still like it, but i think it's begging to be upgraded. like you said, it could benefit from a little more leg articulation (extending hips or pull down legs) a crotch piece that isn't rubbery plastic, a little more ab crunch, better shoulder articulation, get rid of the rubbery elbows.. and maybe some diecast lol.
Well that's a crap review. I got about two minutes in and after all the incorrect reviews of features and items it was done for me. Am I missing something or do these people not realize that when you edit a video, which this clearly was, you should focus MORE on content and less on making it pretty?
He said its was 80% diecast. That not even remotely close. 40%ish is more accurate. He started on the "standard" waist articulation...I think his exact words where "standard, nothing special". Which is again wrong. This has an entirely new design for the waist articulation. And that is where I stopped. So he reviewed three things to that point...the box. He got that mostly right. Lol the diecast content. Total miss. And the waist articulation. Total miss. Can't call yourself a reviewer if you can't get the simple things right. It's a shame, because someone's gonna watch it and take that as gospel.
you're right.
but to be fair, he did eventually figure out the ab articulation lol. he just sort of skimmed over the fact that he was incorrect earlier.
as for the diecast. i think it's difficult to tell sometimes. i'm in the middle of customizing my iron man 3 war machine mark 2 and some of the parts that i had initially thought were diecast actually aren't. but you're right about the percentage.. it's much closer to 40 than 80.
the shoulder complaint portion of the video would've infuriated you lol. he had the shoulders clearly pulled out while complaining and comparing to the patriot and 42.
The Mark 46 figure has a lot to live up to. I like this armour/figure because of its sleek, form-fitting, curvy and organic look. It's a shame that we won't see this armour in action again.
it's a double edged sword for me. on one hand, i'd like to see more of each armor.. on the other, i love seeing new armors and getting new figures of those new armors.
well the chest plate falling off is kind of concerning. The clean one fell off when he taps it and the battle damage doesn't stay on at all. I hope this is not a common issue.
this is the first i've heard of it happening. but to be honest, i'd be kind of happy that it came off a little easier than normal. not as easy as in this video though. i get a little nervous when replacing the chest pieces, especially for the 42 and centurion.
i'm so excited for this. i wonder if my weakness will get the best of me.. i can really see myself getting at least one more armor between now and the time of its release. probably snapper, peacemaker, or tank. i really want to like bones.. but that torso just kills it for me. in every photo that i've seen, the torso just looks a little weird (to no fault of hot toys).. we'll see, maybe i'll warm up to it.
