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

[TheBatman]

Bingo. They don't go for a lot at these events- just something to grab attention.

Fools like Optibotimus will rough up figures enough to show range haha

Yeah, I sub to that guy since he reviews figures pretty well.

 

[HDGuy84]

He tears into them. Makes me cringe.

 

[TheBatman]

He tears into them.

At least we can see the limits of the figures without first-hand experience lmao

 

[HDGuy84]

Absolutely agree.

He's scared to say anything truly negative about a Hot Toys figure. Every time he has a critique, he immediately follows it up with, "But it's not a big deal," or "it's so minor." And he always uses superlatives, like "absolutely fantastic" or "simply stunning." He's too saccharine to give objective reviews.

I much prefer Shartimus's videos and perspectives. He is always honest with himself and with his viewers, he injects humor into the mix, and he invests himself in what he does. Plus, Shartimus GOES TO TOWN on his figures to show us articulation limitations.

Yeah I sub to Shartimus as well. I dont look at it as a either-or type of situation. I just watch all of it since I want to hear everyones take on it.

It's great to see the big guy out and about.

However, the weathering and battle damage seems to be less and less with every new photo release. It also looks like he's been working on his core and has definitely trimmed the waistline area. Too bad. I really wanted a chunky, beat-up HB.

Still the most ambitious project I've ever seen attempted.

That's a good outlook, TB. I tried keeping Optibotimus on the playlist for the same reason, but then I realized that I already knew what he was going to say before I pressed play.

I haven't been keeping up with the Infinity War rumors, but have people been saying that there might be a new Hulkbuster in the film?

 

[incubus]

If the rumors are true...that there is going to be a New HB on IW, I hope and pray that it is not a repaint!!!!!!!!!

Like what they did with MK46 and MK47...

If any MCU directors/planners/designers/producers reading this!!!!
(PLEASE add more Creativity, Functionality and Uniqueness on the design of the figure to be worthy of it's pricetag when converted to an action figure!!!!)

I heard the same. If there is, instant PO LOL.

Its a little late for that, they've probably been working on the CGI elements for 3 years now. Also they aren't reading this. And it would take more than some forum whinging to increase the budget by several thousand more man hours and millions of dollars for no other purpose than to make a toy more appealing to a handful of people.

 

[Nailz]

Why would Tony stark and the hulk do battle again

if he builds a Thanos-buster suit, i would imagine it being twice as large as the hulkbuster, will probably end up being the size of the 1/6 scale tie fighter

So you're saying that it's IS possible though...

Let's start a GoFundMe. 5 million should suffice. If we each just don't buy one Hot Toys figure this month, we can reach our goal in 9 days.

 

[Grimlock]

Be pretty sad if they didn't bother including Veronica and the Jackhammer arm.

They were never supposed to be included.

Can anyone here who's currently attending SDCC say for sure if the updated Hulkbuster is in fact slimmer than the prototype?

Wouldn't be the easiest to judge unless they're side by side.

 

[ursusntn]

Since hearing that the Hulkbuster is in the IW movie I've wondered if they did slim the figure down to look closer to how the updated version will.

 

[jinkazama]

If anyone who's here attending SDCC can possibly ask Howard Chan himself if the updated Hulkbuster is slimmer than the prototype, that would be great.Thanks in advance!

 

[Ehollywood]

Ran into Howard there. What a cool guy. Even hooked me up with some new industry only catalogues. ��

If you're still attending SDCC, would you mind asking Howard[if you get the chance] if the updated Hulkbuster is thinner than the prototype?[if it's not too much trouble of course].Cheers!
