1/6 Hot Toys - MMS285 - Avengers: AOU - Hulkbuster

Considering they could show Tony's suiting up of any armor.. like fully suiting up from head to toe.. I don't know why we couldn't get a full suiting up of the Hulkbuster. It's just missing..

Mark 45

 

[LexiKon318]

45 too ha though I'm guessing they thought we'd seen enough of that in all his previous appearances ... bad call of true, I can't get enough IM suit-up sequences

 

[Tinman2000]

Yea. I feel the same. People tend to care though when the actual figures somehow some how don't exactly match. And this is mostly why. The stuff on screen just doesn't need to take reality into account. So when it's produced it may need changes. I find it a minor miracle they manage to get as close as they do.

Yeah, which IM movie was Pepper reaching DEEP into Tony's chest to replace the Arc Reactor...yikes! Just had to push the "I Believe" button on that one.

Haha Iron Man 1....always wondered where his ribcage went until I decided to let it go

That type of CG effect (the suit up) can be insanely expensive. My guess is they sacrificed it to show hulkbuster and all the ultron stuff. It's an added cost that's not important to the progression of the story. I know, when you think Avengers and/or marvel you don't think about budget much. But those sequences can cost millions of dollars.

They dropped the asking price by $3,000. What a bargain.

Put it just inside your front door, and call your insurance company to tell them you purchased a theft deterrent system. They will most certainly give you a break on your homeowners' insurance.

Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum...I'll take both for 12 bucks each...buy the little guy get the big guy as a pack in? No? Dang.

My commitment to Hulkbuster is wavering a bit. The size and price and my unwillingness to choose between the Mark 43 and 45 is killing me ... plus I think I might want to get Hawkeye. Maybe I'll settle for this:

The whole franchise requires you to let go of reality... Tony should be dead just from his testing process of the MkII.. The MkIII shouldn't have even got to the production stage.

Dunno whether any of you guys have ever followed an astronomer named Phil Plait?... He used to do humourous movie reviews picking apart sci-fi movies (all for fun), in particular the bad science of Armageddon type movies. Stuff that sticks in my mind is the likes of Optimas Prime catching a human falling 100 feet from a building. Getting 'caught' by a big robot hand will still result in you turning into a squished grape...

Unless Optimus matched the same velocity as Sam falling down, and gradually slow down for impact with the ground... Same argument with superman catching people

At least Spidey and Gwen Stacey got it right...

In what space sir?, in what space?

 

[Motuxmen]

Wait...so it's not real? I don't believe you.

You know those look like awesome pieces. Kotobukiya also do great work. I have the Justice league statues from them and they are great. I might get those too rather than another Hulkbuster.

You say that like they are just pointing a camera at something that is really happening. The CGI in these movies is so time intensive that they usually have to start working on them before the entire script is finished just so they can be done by the final edit. Thousands of man hours and render time go into seconds of footage (see the dense clumps of names in the credits), so they aren't going to show extra extremely technical shots just for the hell of it, not when it can be implied by showing the last part of the suit up while deftly avoiding the clear problem of how the suit actually fits in there (it doesn't). Its a cheat, but that is the process of movie making and the job of a director.
