I came here looking for toys and got a physics and film editing debate. I love the internet. Anywho, I really like this suit. I don't have an Iron Man yet, so if this is plastic, it might be my first.

To be fair, it is a thread on a suit that doesn't even have a confirmation of a Hot Toy release yet... go back to the first few dozen pages, and at that stage the suit even being in the movie was pure speculation based off a lego figure... as long as discussion is civil and respectful, it will probably tend to go off topic a little more than the 43 thread..
 
Well, Hot Toys gave us something. Not quite what we wanted, but something lol.

While the paint job looks nice on that deformed figure I don't think it looks the part, paint wise, I hope the sixth scale figure captures the paint job more accurately.
 
They're most likely to keep it consistent with all of the other 1/6 suits which have similar paint jobs to this artist mix figure. Even the 1/6 Mk43 had a different paint finish than the 1/4 so that it was consistent with the others. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything different.
 
Unlike your attempt at being cheeky.





Jk jk. That's just the first thing that came to mind when I read the comment. No hate intended.

And a diecast Mark V would be great too. I'm really curious to see how HT handles the 45's paint
 
Cool. Which movies? What did you do?

I worked on im1 and 2. On one in set building and in two on props.

Toycrypt-he stated the 1/4 scale proto of comiccave/PI at the screening would be 800 dollars. The one that's four feet tall, and diecast, that opens up. The one from the company that usually cost 400 dollars for a 1/6 iron man and nearly 600 for a standard 1/4 iron man. There's no way on earth it would ever cost that much.

As for me cutting anything...that's not something I would do. As I pointed out its the editors job. And there's a lot more then 20 minutes of unused film for these movies. More like hundreds of hours. Some are out takes/reshoots. Some are multiple scenes from multiple angles. Some is rewrites and cuts. My point was you said "modern directors cut more" and then went on to say they cut 1/10 of a movie. Like that's some astronomical number. They re-added like an hour to each LOTR film.
 
I've always thought that stuff would be so cool. especially the props.

It can be. It's not as glamorous as most people think, I imagine. Sometimes it's as crappy as any other job and you just want to go home. Sometimes it's great though. The scene stuff wasn't near as fun. A lot of that is carpenter stuff, and drywall, and making fake rocks. Lol but sometimes it's fun. Get to build some sweet setup like say the hall of armor. So it's cool, but it's still work.

Those Mark v pics are great! Under appreciated armor.

I agree the pix are awesome. It is unfortunate that the silver didn't translate well and became a silver/grey color which didn't work for most people. I understand HT spent a lot of time getting all the details right and it''s truly awesome in hand (I don't have one, just seen one), but the silver turned into aluminum? *sigh*
