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

[Flintty]

A few more photos (with the LEDs on) and observations.

This guy really comes to life with his LEDs on. I liked him before but now even more so but that is also part of the problem. I definitely need to scope the cost of a soap reactor.

Getting to the battery ports was frustrating as hell and pretty much put me off ever putting batteries in a Hot Toy. The head piece was the worst, first with removing the panel without causing damage (sadly I now have a couple of tiny marks) and worst of all, the screw to the batteries was so right, I thought I was going to break the head. Seriously my worst HT experience since putting Loki's helmet on. This really does dampen the experience for me. But like I said, he really does look good when powered up. Such presence on the shelf!

He still looks dead in that photo but I suppose its due to camera technique rather than the figure.

Cool pictures, he does indeed carry a great shelf presence.

But yeah, the eyes are a lot more detailed in hand when lit up than those pictures show.

I thought they nailed his personality.

<---- Minority big fan of MCU Ultron. Each to their own

Ultron shouldn't be snarky.

"No, not yet. Not this, Christmas."

Thanks Flintty! and for following me on Instagram, I appreciate it, the hats are the ones from OneSixthKit, they are really cool, I would recommend getting them, not only are they cheap but they are really well made too

Pietro does not want to build a snowman with you, microwave man. Nice pic Brainy!

Haha your loss, it was gonna be new, it was going to be beautiful, people would look up the sky and see......Christmas

Nice shot Brainiac, he looks great in that photo!

Thank you very much

Great pic!

Thanks Lee, appreciate it!!

Nice shot brainiac.

Thanks enzolt

Ultron shouldn't be snarky.

I actually liked his snarkiness, one of the few things Whedon did well, its not the comic Ultron sure, but I thought it was a good version of him, I did however think he was very underpowered and dumb and also didn't pose much threat physically to the Avengers, I mean 3 of them destroyed his vibranium body in about 5 seconds lol



Here's some more shots I took:




I took them with my phone camera(Lumia 950XL) in my new studio setup but I recently got a Nikon D3300 so I might take a few more

I actually quite liked Ultron's snarkiness. Made the character more fun, funny, compelling and interesting in general for me personally.

Nice pics, Brainiac. I really like this figure, especially with the lights on. Ultron is my only villain currently. I wish they would make more villains. I attempted to get a Whiplash mk II, but it arrived with a broken leg and had to return it. I don't want to try again. Fingers crossed for Yellowjacket or something from the Spider-Man movie.

 

[Flintty]

No problem Braniac, I love your photos, especially the B&W Ultron! Thank you also for the follow!
That Lumia camera is spot on - so sharp! Way better than my iPhone camera.

Agree about Ultron's personality in the film, I thought he was excellent (Spader was on form!). I do wish he was more of a threat though, physically. I would have liked to have seen him have a more hands on job in the killing of QS.

One figure where it is a *must*, IMO.

I also missed your Christmas comment there, hilarious

Thanks Charlie With the lights on its so much more, but even off he has good presence on a shelf. Unfortunately there is a big shortage of villains right now. You have one of the best though. Any day now on Yellow Jacket lol

Thanks so much I'm working on taking more today. The Lumia performs pretty well for a phone camera, 60fps 1080p video, 20 something megapixels and 30fps 4K video too, and its sharp with closeups too. I read a few reviews that said it performed better than the iPhone 6 Camera, but the drawback is the Windows phone, which lacks apps

Spader was so damn good in that role, his personality and speech patterns really show through Ultron, even his physical characteristics. I agree on QS, he should have physicall killed him with his bare hands, like break his neck or something lol. In terms of a physical threat he couldn't even beat Cap hand to hand, and I know Cap is superhuman but cmon, he also got owned by Tony despite having detailed files on the Iron Man suit

One figure where it is a *must*, IMO.

I may have to bug you for advice in setting that up
