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

[blinguskahn]

Anyone here knows whether the Tony Stark Mechanic headsculpt can fit onto the MK43 and 42?

Will look weird if you don't use the collar from the Mk. IV or VII though.

Wait for the Mark III!

Both, no question. And if it's one or the other, this. Newer armor design (obviously there were 40 armors before this one, lol) and even the Diecast Mk III won't articulate as well as the 43. Also the Red/gold proportions with some silver accents where as the Mk. III is soooo red with some gold and hardly any silver. I dunno, they're both going to be great but the newer suits just look newer, lol! Guess what I'm saying is comparing the two, the Mk. 43 looks more robotic and believable than the Mk. III along with the great poses you can get out of it basically the Mk. III looks like a fixture while the 43 looks like Tony is inside.

Thanks, and I see where you're coming from but probably the only reason I would get the 43 is because it's available now. Visually I prefer III.

Then I would definitely wait for the Mark III

I'm getting both.. for several reasons... I really liked the look of the 43 (and the extras), so I quickly ordered the EX.... and I think the 3 had been available for pre-order for a while, and I decided to eventually order it because it is so damn iconic...

Eventually when I get my display situation sorted out, my 43 will stay with my other Avenger characters... Even though I've been collecting from a range of movies, they are all Avengers at that point... The Mk3 was never an Avenger, so as it is the odd one out, and one of my favourite suits and from a movie that exists standalone in it's own right... he'll have his own spot somewhere...

I'm a bit worried about the limited torso articulation of the Mark III, but I like the design of it a whole lot more than the 43. For a newer design, I think the 45/46 and even 42 are better than the 43.

I can swear I've seen this effect one a figuarts piece so the choices he made might not be his choice

Considering I sculpted it by hand, I'd say you are mistaken.

I'll post another version probably Thursday.

 

[LexiKon318]

Haha and also considering that figuarts scale is tiny compared to hot toys

 

[CaptnRex]

I opened my Mk 43, it's amazing, Die Cast is the way to go. Sold my Mk 4 as the 43 is all I need. Great base and extras too.

That piece is quite large next to an SHF figure.

The links are right there in my signature. If he saw anything like that piece in use with a figuarts figure odds are incredibly high that I made it.

Unboxed this badass piece of art yesterday and it did not disappoint at all. May have to make a Sokovia forest background poster for this figure.

I'm thinking the same thing about the 43 being a great example of what the IM suites evolved into; I was thinking about getting some earlier MKs but they don't represent the IM I see (and love) today. The earlier MKs are a little plain...

Had a quick moment to post some pics of this awesome armor, imho

Ouch, knowing that an April WL converted just hurts me even more since I literally just canceled my April 5th WL last night. Oh well, had to make a decision. Have the 45 on preorder and I plan to get the EX Mark 3 on the secondary market. I can see why it's so easy to get swept up by multiple IM armors.

Sorry to hear that.

The 45 and MKII will be awesome
