PPS. The line was designed to push out the different suits featured in the movie. I'm guessing we'll see 3-5 max in MMS form and the rest will be pushed out in PPS form over time.

So IF the MK III metal version is coming Im and both excited and afraid. For those who have them whats the ab/chest articulation like? Do they rub against each other when posing? After researching diecast toy repairs Im convinced that chipping is inevitable and will be a PITA to fix. We will all have to disassemble the figure,completely strip the paint(sometimes includes dissolving in solutions,where if left too long will ruin the metal and your SOL, and then paint it up with the exact paint colors(hard) to make it look new again. Basically its alot of work. And chipping paint on one of these figures will look gross. Example below of what chipping/scrapes ect would look like on these. Maybe thats why HT has been putting all those little scrapes and **** on the plastic versions,to prepare us for the metal real deal.

why are the torso and legs different shades of red?
I believe this was from someone trying to repaint it for a second time. Bad choice of color lol.

HT are swinging some people around by their short and curlies. Completists are hilarious.
Well as much the new price will suck i missed out on WM, MK6, MK4, MK3, and the MK1.
So to have them at all is good for me but man all that money.
I dont see why the need to make them metal though, that cost them more money to make which in turn they balance out by charging us more.
It makes more sense to just charge the 250ish they've been doing that way they get bought for sure and they dont lose any money.
On the plus side guys at 300+ each+SSC rewards=Not so bad.

For me, just my own opinion, 2 of this is about equal to a PO price of a tumbler, i rather pay for the tumbler which has more WOW factor than this Iron Patriot. Visitors coming in to my house will not even know or care to know whether it's metal or plastic.

A 5% bonus per figure is kinda clutching at straws when those figures can be had from elsewhere for 90% of Sideshow's pricing or better...

True. I save most of my SSC purchases for exclusives if I can help it. When you think about it, it's not worth cashing in on points until you can get an item completely free (outside shipping lol). You can't earn em on the same purchase you spend em.

what an exciting time to be a hot toys iron man fan. i'm not sure yet if i'll be buying into this diecast thing or not, but these hype and energy is quite enjoyable.

It's the international shipping price that wins my orders at SSC. Pretty much cancels all the discounts given at other places. Plus they seem to get it quicker, ship it promptly, & they are good at helping out with any order problems.

The funny thing is, the new figures aren't entirely diecast either. So completionists will be paying for the same figures they own, with new metal pieces. Theres no way Hot Toys is going to make that many new molds.
shipping from SS has always been cheaper than anyplace else. The shipping charges to Alaska takes away any discounts from other venders.Also there customer service dept rocks. I have canceled 3 orders over the last month and they have returned my NRD on each one.
I canceled a statue today and they let me transfer my NRD to another figure.
When I've had a QC issue with a figure, it's been very quickly fixed. I have no complaints about SSC.
