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

[SilverStar17]

I like the 46 the best.

Out of the AoU armors, I like this one the best and I also have the 46 on PO, so I sold the 45 as soon as I got it.

Yeah it will be interesting to see how the 46 works with all the lights. I do like seeing the newer armours and respect the design...but 43 is just so cool. Still has the look of armour with the geometric shapes, but is slimmer and seems more mobile. The newer generations are going for a more organic look.

Man..I fell in love with the 45 lol

350 used. Wow thats more than i paid new. I didnt know they were going for that much maybe i should sell since i bought the 45

I know, but for an Exclusive it's a pretty good deal. I don't mind the used if it's been kept in premium condition anyway (like I assume most people would with these expensive armors). The worst thing is I can't even find a price close to this for a normal version everywhere I searched on the web, including ebay. They are all like $400+++ and I can't bring myself to spend that amount. I believe someone on was selling it for $450 on sideshow even. This si what happens when you don't buy it when it first comes out I suppose.

I'll sell my normal version for $350, damn lol

 

[enzolt]

Normal usually goes for $300. I sold my exclusive for $350.

I've been very impressed by how good the Cap, Black Widow and Hawkeye figures have turned out.
Does anyone know what the next figure in the line is scheduled to be released in Hong Kong?

If it's Ant Man it may be to time to for me make any early purchase

And youre losing money at that, it retailed for $344.99

Im selling mine at cost, but as soon as hot toys drops hulkbuster im adding a $100 "snooze you lose" fee

Guy got my mark 43. love it.

How do I fix a loose right shoulder joint? Can't get the shoulder to stay at 90 degrees, it keeps flopping down to about 45 degrees

easiest option is to create friction in the joint, personally I use super glue to make a thin coat around the socket, let it dry and then pop the ball joint back in. A less permanent solution is to take some sarran wrap around the ball joint and pop it in, then trim the excess

It's just a slightly loose right shoulder joint at the part where the arm moves up and down. I suppose if you consider that defective...

It's not the ball joint that needs increased friction. It's the joint just after the ball joint in the shoulder that moves the entire arm up and down at the shoulder joint. I just don't have anything in my mind right now to stiffen that but it's an easy fix. Appreciate any ideas.

Oh I see,

solution 1 is to rotate the joint so its not straight up/down. hard to explain in text but basically instead of lifting the arm up from the side, rotate it forwards, then out to the side and turn the bicep joint (refine as necessary)

solution 2 is to pop the plastic cap off of the joint and tighten the screw, this is risky and I dont recommend if its not that bad.

solution 3 is to try and get some floor polish in the joint to increase friction, I personally have never done this but is a pretty common method used on figures, just google or youtube it

hope these help

LipSmack you're a genius. I pulled the shoulder out of the joint to assess the situation and found the small black screw there that would tighten that joint. It's as good as new now no issues. Thanks again!

Also is it me or is this darker than the Mark 45? Their colours are so different I was quite surprised. The Mark 45 really has a great colour and metal polish going for it!!

BTW are you able to take a picture of the right shoulder Pad for me please? Thanks
