1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Iron Man 3: SHOTGUN Mark XL Collectible Figure

[FullMetalHippie]

That concept drawing is cool. Anyone notice the grooves under his arms and on rib cage? And also matching sections on inside of both legs? Now that would be awesome if HT somehow incorporated his fusion for flight mode into the figure, having arms and legs snap into body!! That might just change my mind and I may be interested in buying this guy....

Beat me by one second.

If they are planning to allow a flight pose like the concept art, we'll probably get a newly designed set of hands that finish off the streamlined look.

 

[Motuxmen]

Yeah looks like they are meant to snap together...

 

[ScottPSU]

Release this guy for PO!

Mach...FIVE?!

Let's take a moment to appreciate how fast that is. The speed of sound in air is around 343 meters per second, or about 760 mph. Shotgun can go five times that fast, putting his speed around 1700 meters per second, or 3800 mph. That's just over one mile per second. ONE MILE PER SECOND.

That beats the SR-71 Blackbird by a long shot, whose max speed is around Mach 3. Shotgun is 67% faster than the aircraft that set the record for flight speed.

If you were to blink as Shotgun flew by, you'd never even see it. You'd only hear the explosive sound of Shotgun ripping the air apart around it.

I want this armor even more now.

I can't get excited about how fast thing flys. Maybe it's me. But it's a made up number.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

It's all made up.

You two are delusional, the stats in the artbook say mach five, therefor its canon. Marvels not dumb, they would have had someone check the numbers before print, they always do

Iron Man is real!

This is true. Was pretty much my point

 

[ScottPSU]

Wait...this stuff isn't all real?

 

[ScottPSU]

Crap, forget it. I'm out now. I thought it was all real. How can it be a fun diversion if it's not?

So if you don't get excited by any of it why spend upwards of twenty grand buying every HT that's ever been produced?

Wow I did that mental number crunching and posted those statistics this morning with the intention to share my amazement with my fellow fans, but instead I turned this thread into a war of fact versus fiction.

 

[Brainiac]

Still waiting on this guy and now the weekend

I said I don't get excited by the fake details or the fake story. I'm not like "wow, he shoots a 50bmg from 8 miles out and hit a tick"..there's no actual skill involved. It's not impressive. It's made up. But there is skill in the art. The figures look amazing. It takes real world talent and skills to make them. There's a difference between enjoying it as a story, or art or a toy or a statue...then getting excited by some made up speed of a made up suit on a made up character. I was trying to say it without being a jerk about it. But there's no "awe" in a Mach 5 iron man suit, for me. Because it's not going Mach 5. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate the art. The story writing. The sculpting.

Would you be impressed if I drew a car and said it can go 9,000 mph? Even if I was the best artist on earth, would you sit back and be like, WOW that's a fast car? Or just like the drawing, because I made the speed up out of nowhere?
