1/6 Hot Toys - MMS273 - Iron Man 2: Tony Stark w/ Arc Reactor Creation Accessories

Never bought a bootleg before. Do you think the pics on OSK are of the bootleg or the HT original (I guess the original)?

theyre of the boot leg, Ive received multiple heads form there now, never been disappointed, especially for the price

Thanks Lipsmack

From your past experiences, is it better to preorder Headsculpts from OSK rather than wait for them to get in stock? I emailed them and they said it is, since sculpts sell like hot cakes. But what's your 2cents?

well now that Paypal has the 6 month protection window id say it safe to PO (though payment is taken right away), they usually have items a month or two after PO. When I first dealt with them I was looking for the mk 42 clean helmeted stark head, I chose not to PO because I wasnt sure of them and how they worked, not many PO'd that head so they removed it due to low sales... Theyve since put it up and I po'd again to help show theres interest in the item. paying with paypal definitely helps, and all the heads ive since received have been well worth it,

Very, very cool, paramore! Great pic, great quote!

Probably the original, but the bootlegs are the same sculpt, just painted by different people.
The factories that make them for HT send HT the unpainted ones and HT paint them in house, and the fatories also sell a mountain of unpainted sculpts to the supposed bootleggers.
HT don't care because they are selling a superior end product. But the bootleggers have to get their own people to paint them. That's generally why paintjobs can vary from seller to seller.

Thanks guys. I have now bought one on PO so will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Genuine or bootleg?

Really great head sculpt on this one. A shot I took earlier today

 

[ksteezy]

Probably one of the best HS I've seen

Genuine or bootleg?

Probably bootlegs. Although all the ones I did of the armour test head were of official heads.

great pic it looks really good to me, its the best one for sure but I wonder if there will be an even better one sometime, I'd also like alternate expressions which Hot Toys should do more often, even if its an Alternate Expression head set like the workshop set that came out

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Nice pic, knl.

I hope this is the sculpt they use for mk III

 

[Brainiac]

I hope this is the sculpt they use for mk III

I for one hope they do not.... Tony looked different in the first movie or at least younger, plus the sculpt is not 100%, but if its a helmeted sculpt for the III, then I don't care they can use this

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Like it or not, this will probably be the go-to Tony sculpt for the foreseeable future, including the diecast Mark III.

I have this figure on order and am thinking about also picking up the IM3 Workshop accessories set. The main reason is because the desk is not included in this set. Does anyone know if the bicep armor and hands from the Workshop set will work on this Stark fig? I am hoping they do in an attempt to hide the very visible joints a little, especially on the elbows.
