Soooo... The inside joke is Marvel is gonna stop making Iron Man armors at the Mark 52 because that'll mess with DC cause it's a reference to the New 52...

Got it

Impressive... some of you *******s actually have half a brain. :clap

Try and play nice :)

Hey I am, just trying to understand an inside joke that's all.

I mean it would be more of an insult to DC if the Mark 7 was the last armor and it had laser beam eyes, bat ears, a sonic cannon arm, a trident, a lasso, a green faceplate with red and yellow lightning bolt color scheme, call it the league buster to make fun of the JLA but that's just me :lol
 
This figure is nothing more than the IP repainted and yet HT are charging MORE MONEY??? Did i miss something here? Why doesn't he at least have some new armaments? Something to make this figure more than just a repaint.

Supposedly more limited and of course AoU tax :lol
 
I have every armor that's dropped so far EXCEPT the GunMetal Mrk.3 and the Mrk.6 and 7 Exclusives. In my opinion this War Machine is less interesting if only because the lack of red accents around the eyes and arc reactor and no additional weapons and mods. I may still get this also, but I'm PURPOSELY waiting and waitlisting myself to let fate decide if it belongs in my collection. Yes it's movie accurate and yes a "true movie armor" but it's also "WHITE NOISE" because of his THREE identical predecessors. Anyone who has the first Mrk.2 WM will tell you the flawless (no simulated scratches and scuffs) matte grey paint is striking. It's in my top 5 armors released so far after both Mrk.4 armors, Milk WM, Igor and Mrk.42 or 43.

Yes, you missed the Head Sculpt of Don Cheadle and the Avengers Base both of which have additional licensing strings attached.

No not you :thwak :lol..... just the ones who have to resort to name calling to try and make a point :ohbfrank:
 
IP had the same Cheadle sculpt though.

Do you think that because it was used on IP it's already paid for???

That's not how it works, each figure has it's own licensing fees


If you add additional Avengers licensing fees and take into account for the increased costs of energy and shipping in the Asian markets, the increase in price over what IP cost are more then understandable.
 
Is this a rare exclusive figure or something. I just saw this one pop up for pre-order at my online shop for 460 EUR. :cuckoo:

Its an exclusive figure, only available to certain retailers..... it will be priced higher in certain regions because of this
 
That would be you who doesn't undestand it... most Americans who loves comics would get the joke.

I understood. It just was not a good joke. Unless they actually came out in some way and stated why they stopped at 52 most people won't draw that obscure conclusion. The majority of the people watching the movies are not avid comic fans. And some that are don't all read DC. No one would assume marvel studios stopped making its highest selling character just as some silly attempt to reference and draw interest to another company's title. As that's all it would do. It wouldn't hurt DC. It would benifit them, IF anyone got it.
