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

It could be due to the fact they had to make the upper body longer to fit the figure inside when originally the figure was not planned on being put inside. So the newer one could be slightly taller thus giving the impression of being thinner when the arms and legs may be the same size as the original.

Good point.Originally, they were only going to include the Mark 43 bust, so it's possible that they made it taller to fit the 1/6 Mark 43 figure into the Hulkbuster's chest area.

As the production piece also appear's different in colour, just wondering if it's to do with the lighting in the photos...

Thats crazy that you can put a figure inside the Hulkbuster. Wow!!! That is some amazing engineering.

there were lots of weathering on the first prototype and one of the selling point of the hulkbuster. i think now they deliberately tune it down
to lower the cost, to make up for the cost of redesigning, appreciation of labour and material cost due to the long delay.

Someone who's on facebook should ask Hot Toys on their facebook collector's page if the final product version of the Hulkbuster is thinner than the prototype, and if the colour is different[i'd ask myself but i'm not on facebook].

If anything I think they just made the midsection/waist to be narrower actually, not taller. Probably so the Mark 43 legs have to be less spread apart for it to fit down into the thigh sections?

Im not sure why everyone keeps saying its leaner. Its the same size...

Because it clearly is leaner?

I'm a bit disappointed in the change of paint color and significant reduction in weathering. Just looks like a larger Mk 45 or 46 now. Anyway, didn't something similar happen with Igor from prototype to production?

I think the colour looks different because of the lighting in the photos for the production piece, as I just checked out pics of the Hulkbuster on Google, and hot toys made some life size Hulkbusters, and they also appeared different in colour, probably due to the lighting in those photos aswell.

This looks like the 45 about as much as a Gorilla looks like a Tamarin.

Coloring/paint. Don't be a wise-***, lol.

They just recently changed the paint from proto to production on the Mk 46 pretty significantly to a similar shiny tone of red, that's why I think it's not just the lighting.

Im overall happy with the figure. I don't see anything that needs to change with it. Once I get the actual figure in hand, and perhaps reviewer pictures, that will be a better indication of what the actual figure looks like. At this point, there are too many unknowns for me to start judging the figure based on a few highly manipulated pictures.

Fall release date ? that is still to vague of date

 

[CupcakeMcGraw]

So which is more screen accurate? Looks like the waist, arms, and lower legs have all been reduced in size.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The new version looks more proportionate and visually appealing. The legs are too long on the old version, and the torso too short.

If it's slightly less screen accurate this way, so be it. They're taking a 3D rendered model that never existed in the world and making it a reality. Some concessions may need to be made.

Hulkbuster went on the Drax diet

Agreed, and that could just be the release in China. There's sadly a chance we still won't see this in the States until December or January. I have no idea how people are celebrating this news.

Besides the obvious color change (how much is still debatable due to the lighting used) I'm trying to work out if its really all that different. The angle at which the photos were taken, and the arm placement (out wide and slightly twisted vs hard against the torso and turned to show the thicker parts) is quite different.
