This is never going to live up to expectations now is it? It's been built up too much

It's a toy at the end of the day....it's just to long to wait for something like this IMO. Really it won't live up to the hype and lets be honest it also comes from a fair piss poor film.

As long as it's looks as cool as 3-4 other figures in my display it will meet expectations. The only way it won't look cool is if it breaks or can't stand up or something weird.

For any iron man fan this is a grail. Regardless if you think AOU sucked balz, the context that a "Hulkbuster" suit has for the lore is beyond that movie. I'm certain HT will deliver and when shots start flowing through of a Mark xliii blasting out of the wide open Hulkbuster and Hulk vs HB shots start flowing aross the internetz is when folks are going to fully understand how nice of a piece this is.

Now having proper space to display this small refrigerator is another topic all together.

Some people here are just unecessarily pessimistic...

You either like the armor or your dont. Thats a personal choice.

Not sure why your personal choice to like an armor has to depend on hype... Why do you rely on what other people think?

You said it! They can't take a joke either.

God forbid you jokingly tell them it's cancelled...madness ensues!

I just figured out the ignore feature. Thank you!

That's great snowflake.

I'm not getting this figure, but even with all the delays and the dip in "hype," I still think this figure will be the most amazing 1/6 Iron Man figure ever produced. The hype will return, as will the people who left because the hype died.

For the record, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It's great that we all get excited for these figures. I know it can be extremely frustrating to constantly be bombarded with delays, so naturally the biggest "F YOU" to HT is to cancel and not support them with your wallet.

But I simply see the delays as HTs attempt to release a figure they are ultimately proud of. I see these figures as art when it comes down to it. This thing will cost close to $1,000 regardless of whether it comes out next month or in 6 months. I know I'm not telling my tattoo artist, "naw, you said my tattoo would be done by now, I don't want to stay an extra hour or 2 for you to add your finishing touches." This figure will be the centerpiece of any 1/6 collection it graces. I think that when HT releases this, they wanna make sure everyone knows who runs 1/6 scale figures so they can do a "mic drop" with the Hulkbuster drop.

I couldn't agree more.

I too am not buying this... I'd love to, but the hulkbuster is just a little too pricy for me. I don't think it's overpriced, because it looks like it'll be unbelievably awesome. If I had the 43, or was interested in getting it, I'd probably have saved up for this. Perhaps if it goes on sale, or clearance or something I'd pick it up, but I see that as being highly unlikely.

If I was getting this, I'd definitely be okay with the delay considering the improvements, but I can understand the impatience. Although the wait will probably make opening it that much more exciting.

Had I bought this and owned the 43.. I'd love to have the 43 flying over preparing to enter an opened up hulkbuster.

Is it too much to hope that, given the immense size of this thing, larger batteries will be used (instead of being packed with about 30 of those tiny @$$ batteries)?

Most people don't rely on the negative comments on here, but that doesn't stop the people who don't even want certain figures from voicing their negative opinions about them, as if it would change anyone's mind. (it doesn't)
We call them trolls, and the smart thing to do is ignore them because as stupid as it sounds, they're just bitching for the sake of bitching.

Why ANYONE think their salty opinions actually matter when don't even want the figure is beyond me. But unfortunately this forum has members who just live to whine like babies about stuff that means nothing to them. Maybe they're just jealous that they can't afford things that others can, but would rather come up with lame troll snark instead of admitting to it.

What's worse is that those same people think their comments are reasonable contributions. Sure everyone is entitled to voice their opinions, but why any sensible human would waste their time doing such things is baffling to me. It must be a painful existence being attention whores who aren't able to deal with boredom in constructive ways.

Im guessing the tiny batteries. Lots and lots of tiny batteries. Why ruin a good thing?

Couldnt put it anyway better than that. Totally agree with you.

The battery tray for Hulkbuster is going to be the size of a normal shoe box figure clamshell tray.

I don't know, hulkbuster has 16 points (according to sideshow) and the 46 has 28 and came with 22 batteries.

Cool it with all recklessness on here dude. Stick to the figures.

Look at the size of the lights on HB. They are the size of a flashlight, all 28 on the 46 would add up to one light on HB.

I am considering dropping my $465 RP on this- but I am really hoping they do the JL Batmobile.

Damn choices.
