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

[Brainiac]

I just PO'd this one. So it begins...

the beginning of the end...

I hope they change the color. A little bit matte like 1/4 version will make this figure looks better.

Yes its true the 1/4 got more items as well but he looks more like the MK42 with the stuff

the beginning of the end...

Tell me about it. I swore when I started collecting, I would stay away from the MCU figs. But my inner comic geek was jealous of everyone's Avengers display. Now I must have my own. So TDW Thor was the first step.

Didn't notice before, but after all the videos of the figure.... I wonder why the arc reactor is milky? Maybe something from the movie.

Maybe thats how it looks in the movie, Whedon doesn't like the triangle I doubt there is any big secret behind it, it just looks like that.

But the MKXLII chest RT had a lot of detail so maybe the guys at HT didn't have time to make the new one?

Well, AoU Thor looks just like that one, so you'll be saving some money at least

I'm getting all of them, except for Vision, if it turns out that I like Vision after watching the movie then... well, I'll have to get it

I hope they change the color. A little bit matte like 1/4 version will make this figure looks better.

Its surprising how much work they put into the 1/4 version to make it look great, it looks like they didn't give a **** about the 1/6 version... its not impossible to make the 1/6 look great they just have to be willing to do it, I hope they improve this figure

That's a great figure to start with. They've come a long way since the Avengers Thor.

Yeah it is a greay fig. I am not in love with the film, but I love Hemsworth as Thor. So that is what pushed me into getting it. Now I am adding this one. and the rest of the gang. The only figure I will double up on is Cap. As i have the stealth suit on order and I plan on getting the AOU version.

This one was jut too cool to pass on. It reminds me of the Bleeding Edge Armor he wore during the Heroic Age. It's one of my favorite looks.

 

[Shawpaw]

Yeah they have the NRD after people just impulsively buy stuff then change their mind immediately. Lol

The bad part about the NRD is that its non refundable. I put in an order for the 1/6 mark 43 exclusive. Now just a few days later, I don't want it anymore. I want the the 1/4 mark 43 revealed at toy soul, but I'm stuck with the $34 deposit I paid for the 1/6 mark 43.

Come to think about it, I don't even want the diecast mark III anymore, but I already paid the NRD. Thats $64 in non refundable deposits for figures I don't want.

People like you are the reason NRD exists.

 

[Malgus]

The price is the biggest obstacle. Premium Format price for a 1/6 figure. Are pristine suits a thing of the past? Seems like all these new suits have some sort of battle damage. I prefer a scratch free suit.

 

[zombieshane]

I really wish this figure wasn't diecast. Too $$

Sideshow wil let you cancel one item and transfer the NRD as credit to a different order, once per account. Use it wisely.

...also, you should think carefully before placing an NRD order.

I think the reason battle damage has become the norm is because of too many returns being sent back because of minor scuffs or a scratch, if they do a battle damaged version then any minor scuffs or scratches can be called battle damage too..., good business sense BUT I agree with you as I'd like a clean suit of armour too.

And that's exactly why they are doing it more and more. They count these preorders as for sure sales, and legally need to. So they have to cover the preorder. How would you feel if they cancelled your preorder because they didn't feel like selling it, or found another buyer willing to pay more or whatever.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's all NRD shortly. And it should be really. It makes sure there's less over production. It keeps the figures value from dropping when there's tons still at retail a year later. I get if there's a legit reason why you cancel. but most the time it's just a simple I changed my mind, or I like another figure better or tomorrow's a full moon. Predictable stuff. There's always going to be a new figure. A new movie. Or the company goes out of business.

So I see nothing wrong with the NRD.

Completely agree. It's only 10% so it shouldn't be a big deal.

You make a couple valid points but nrd still sucks for a couple reasons. One issue is the long delays that are very common. If the stated release date is not met, then the customer should be able to back out with all their cash. Another problem is that sometimes the finished product has flaws or in some cases simply doesn't look like the prototype. Should the customer be stuck with a bum product? I understand that the fickle nature of people in general has probably brought on nrd, but I still hate it.

With SSC, If the product is delayed you can get your NRD back, i have done it. Also if you do not like the product you can return within 30 days for full refund.

Shipped back on your dime though which could be close to the NRDs. Just pointing it out just so people realize sideshow doesn't eat that shipping.

True, but only if your returning just because you do not want it. If if it is defective or damaged they will pay for shipping.

I agree too, I never order anything I don't want SO a NRD doesn't bother me at all..., like most of us (I'm sure), I use the flex payment plan SO really the NRD is just one of my payments, that's all.
