1/6 Hot Toys - MMS278D09 - Avengers: AoU - Iron Man Mark 43 Collectible Figure

[subzro]

How are they about refunding the NRD post release date? I don't want to be stuck with a pending waitlist item and not have the ability to cancel myself without losing my NRD. Essentially, how long does it usually take until they give "closure" on a waitlisted order?

You do not pay anything unless your waitlist converts

Hey guys do these figures still have the pink underwear issues?

The 1st MK6 was the last one with that problem

Ah good news. I'm on the waitlist then.

 

[N3M3SIS 2ALL]

I did the same thing with my order. Just a waiting game now

Its been awhile since ive received a new figure! Its going to be my first I.M......cant wait!

 

[N3M3SIS 2ALL]

You can order it now. There are two versions. The same. One comes with an extra head. That's the waitlist version. But if you want the figure you can get it. Same figure. Same base. It's like ordering a pair of AF1, two exact same kicks but one comes with a free gift and different box, other is just standard shoes. (I collect kicks too. J's and Af1)

Also, it is a 50/50 chance. Those are the only true odds in the world. As in yes/no. It either will or won't. I'm sure that's why they said it. But, remember, CS people do not always have unique info others do not. Last week when the mkvii stealth went up for order a guy from CS told people that he was 1000% sure the figure wouldn't sell out within a month. It sold out (well, went waitlist which is what he said it wouldn't do) in hours. Like ten minutes after that conversation.

Wish i had a gif for dumb & dumber (this reference happens to be the name of the movie by no means am i calling any body dumb or dumber) but where he Lloyd asks: So what are my chances, give it to me straight " forget the girls name " one in a million " cheesy smile Lloyd " Soooo your saying i have a chance " lol.

Totally know what your talking about. Lol

What's up fellas. Totally new to Hot Toys/toy collecting in general. More of a sneaker collector, so I get how an influx of noobies can be annoying. But hopefully someone won't mind helping me out.

I would really love to grab an Iron Man as my first collectible toy to kick things off. I know this went up for PO months ago, but what are my chances of getting the waitlisted exclusive to convert if I were to submit an order today? It looks like the regular version is still available, should I also drop a NRD on that? Or just wait it out and possibly have to take my chances on the secondary market?

I actually called customer service and the woman I spoke with said I have a 50/50 chance, seems a little too good to be true lol. So I figured I'd ask in here.

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

50/50 sounds about right at the moment but there are other factors to consider. If it remains as popular after people start seeing the movie, if people start ditching this in favor of the 45, etc....

I got on the wait list 1/24 and it still hasn't converted but I have faith that it will when this gets closer to release

That site does list the actual figure at 31cm also, my guess is the 13.3" takes the thickness of the base into account when the figure is on it (overall height).

Ahhhh good thinking. That's probably it. So then I guess they're just making the 1/4 a little taller by scale at 20"

Too many people to quote but I appreciate everyone's info! With limited sneakers, if they're not in your cart within minutes, they're gone. Wasn't sure if it was the same for toys as well. By the sound of it, it doesn't seem like a lost cause to go ahead and hop on the PO for the EX version. I would wait it out to see what the 45 is going to end up looking like, but I prefer the slightly more robotic look of the 43 (and pretty much every other suit) vs the almost skin tight look of the 45. Still debating if I want to go with the Mark III instead (because it's iconic) or the 43 because an AoU IM would be a nice segue into the other Avengers.

Thanks again!

I just need the base
Wonder how long before it might be parted out

On ebay probably pretty soon. But affordably on the loose parts sites, a couple weeks after SSC ships out.

Toy Anxiety and Monkey Depot should part it out shortly after SSC gets it and ships out. Usually within two weeks. I would advise waiting for them, they are much cheaper than ebay... For example the Steve Rogers sculpt was almost $100 on ebay but on the other sites he was $50

Thanks...monkey depot was the one I was trying to remember. I'm definitely waiting for a cheaper one that's for sure

Late to the game but went ahead and waitlisted the EX. 1st figure ever. Hopefully it converts!

I got on the wait list on April 2nd, but now I went ahead and did the preorder for the regular IM MK 43 too just to make sure I get this. The last IM I got was the MarkIV with Gantry. This MK 43 looks so much more detailed I couldn't resist.

Cool. I doubt the regular will sell out soon but good job covering your bases.
and best of luck on a conversion

Good luck! I'm in a similar position, in that I got on the wait list early this year, but haven't converted yet. I'm hoping it converts but if it doesn't, I will order the regular version.

I would of just waited to go for the reg. There's probably more like me that want to get rid of there ex without loosing there NRD. Once I get mine I'm just going to sell it at the price I paid for it.

In some cases, such as the EX Diecast Mark 3, I'm not all that overwhelmed with the exclusive item. But in the case of the 43, I like the helmet.
