Why is this figure selling for so low? Is it because its not a Tony Stark armor suit?
I'm kinda glad it is, with the OnesixthBruce debacle I may have to buy one to replace the one on "perma-order" that seem to be forever just arriving and shipping soon........
Damn, I'll go check on mine, that's crazy that it faded while in the box, what paint does HT use??? their products are to expensive to have these issues
Who knows man, but it has to be a reaction to the rubber used for the hand. It is the only hand that is rubber and the only one that has this issue.
The rubber hands repulsor hands of my Mk VII have turned pink in the box like yours.
Broke out my IP accessories today in order to switch up the pose on my figure. Wanted to use the saluting hand.
Mine has turned pink. Anyone else have this problem?
It should be noted that this hand has never seen the light of day and has been stored in the box in a climate controlled environment.
A while back I picked up a scale model of Iron Patriot to build and paint not really knowing what I was getting into. I built a bunch of scale model airplanes over the years, but this was quite a bit different with the detail in it. Took over 50 hours of masking and painting with metallic blue\red rattlecan. In hindsight I wished I had invested in an airbrush, because it never came out as well as I'd hoped. I overlooked the blue panels beneath his shoulder pads unfortunately.
I used the Hot Toys diecast photos for the paint scheme, since they were so well illustrated. The entire time I sat there wishing I had just bought the Hot Toys figure, but didn't want to spend $300+.
Of course I caved in and bought one finally from a member here for a great price (stuck in Baltimore, thanks Jonas). I'm giddy like a school girl in anticipation, heh. Already have a few other pre-orders in too, so the addiction begins
Here's some pics of my rattle-can job.
