1/6 Hot Toys - MMS284 - Avengers: AoU - Ultron Prime Collectible Figure

[SilverStar17]

Received this figure today, looks amazing. The battery installation required a lot of patience though. I also can't seem to get the ring finger of his left hand to articulate at the second point, right at the tip. Almost looks/seems like it was mistakenly glued down. Trying to force it feels like the entire finger will snap off.

Also, do the ankles on this figure pivot side to side, or just up and down? Shartimus Prime stated in his review that it has ankle pivot, but I'm just not seeing it. Like the finger tip, trying to get the ankle to move side to side feels like the foot will snap off, as much force needs to be applied if it does indeed have ankle pivot.

Mine hath shipped.

Now I need to find a spot to display this huge MFer.

He'll probably go right next to hulk and ED-209 on my "Big Guys" shelf

I heard they do move. Probably just stiff so as not to let such a big figure take a fall.

Yep, I was just about to edit my previous post. I got them to move, but they're extremely stiff, as mentioned. You sort of have to articulate the foot downward then apply a bit of pressure to pivot it to the side and it'll budge a bit. Like you mentioned, they're probably that stiff so that way there's not much play in the ankles, so as not to let such a large figure take a spill.

Wow. That is nice. Is he pretty stable without his stand?

Thanks!

Yeah, he's pretty stable enough for me where I'd feel comfortable displaying him without the stand. It takes a bit of futzing with the ankle pivoting, the knee joints and bending at the waist to sort of find the "sweet spot", if that makes sense.

He's too tall anyway with his regular stand in the display cabinet that I want to put him in, so I was initially going to just use a generic crotch grabber stand and raise it all the way up. However, after futzing with him a bit as mentioned, I think he'll be good on his own.

Thanks, gents.

You'll enjoy him, he's a great figure. Easily the most discernible in my AoU collection and one of the most in my collection in general. A lot of intricate details and very good shelf presence.

I'm not able to at the moment, but I'll take him back out again either later tonight or tomorrow and put another character next to him for scale comparison.

In the interim, here's a comparison of him with the Maximoff twins figures and Mk 43 and Vision. From Shartimus Prime's review:

I know what you mean.

I have TWS Nick Fury coming at the end of this month, but I'll probably postpone him a couple weeks.

Ultron had so many great lines. James Spader sold it brilliantly. He has a very compelling voice.

Thanks, man. The long wait for me was over today. I almost literally ripped it out of the UPS driver's arms.

As mentioned, I'm certain you'll like him. Very intricate details and a very strong shelf presence.

 

[SilverStar17]

Here's a quickie I took just to merely give an idea of his size in comparison to a couple of other figures in the AoU line:



Hulk's knees are bent and he's slightly hunched at the waist so he's crouched a bit (presumably the way most people probably have him posed), and UP is pretty much the same height as him while basically for the most part standing straight.

 

[Rudimus]

I will not preorder a non exclusive item from sideshow again! Just got an email that they're not getting any more shipments in until the 20th yet they charged me on 5/27. That is poor business practice & if it were a seller on eBay doing this it would definitely be a negative reviews. Absurd.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Monster figure.
