All joking aside I'm frankly shocked HT hasn't done a single Diecast IM repaint... I'd be all over that!

The Stealth Mark 3 was a diecast repaint

True! I gave that one a pass as it was at least based on the comic book version.

 

[Manannin]

Haha fair enough!

Even so, I still don't see how that blue colour could be considered stealthy. The Mark VII Stealth mode is closer to my idea of Stealth.

I agree. I think a nice matte black and matte dark grey would've been pretty cool.

And on the topic of stealth, I really can't wait for sneaky.

I sold off my Mark XLV and am thinking of getting this instead. It'll go very well with my War Machine MKI.

I did exactly that! 45 is gone, this is on order and WM is waiting for me to get home on Friday!

That is too funny. I just did the same so I can order the diecast WM MK I.....Great minds

 

[The Green Goblin]

Damn you guys move on quick. The 45 was just released a couple of months ago.

 

[Sikatar]

lol, I know. I liked the 45, I really did. But the new release WM MK I, was one that I was waiting for. I don't have a ton of space to display and if I kept both, the WM would be the one I would keep out. So I figured the 45 could get a new home

I kept his base for my Armored Batman and still sold him for a good price.

It kinda sucks that my WM will be without the Mark VI for a year or so, but it looks to be worth the wait. I'm thinking of picking up a different base for the VI so he can match WM better. But I love the base that he comes with, so I'm not sure yet.

My collection, aside from a few pieces, seems to change a lot. I changed my collecting habits recently and am only trying to get what I consider essential figures now. The one that most impress me, give me that feeling of "wow", so to speak.

 

[TimothyR]

I'm glad I don't need to make tough decisions like that.

Through all my years of collecting I've never sold a single figure.

I've traded once, and I had a box of 3.75" Star Wars figures and some transformers that I gave to the son of my moms neighbor.

I don't plan on selling anything. When I run out of room, I'll probably just start donating my least desirable figures, or figures from lines that I never completed.

 

[kiwiatlarge]

No, I've never sold a figure. I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of trying to sell and ship it overseas. I've never really had buyers regret either. I'm sort of in a 'not entirely happy' situation with my Black Widows though. That comes from that I prefer to have one of each figure. Bought TWS because it was cheaper and I prefer the all black suit. Then over time I came to the realisation I was going to go fully AoU with my Avengers and then got AoU, which in hand it turned out it was the better figure anyway. So now I have a black BW which doesn't really fit. Funny thing is, if I could easily trade TWS for Civil War I probably would, as it looks like they might finally get the sculpt right with her.

 

[EndoSickness]

Glad I sold the IV actually, due to pink patties syndrom.
These new armors, with their moveable hip skirts are just pure wina dn I can´t wait to have him and WM lined up.

 

[Sikatar]

Nice that you were still able to keep the 45's base for Bats . I'm lucky enough that I have the first version of the VI to keep WM company for another year. I managed to grab an extra Whiplash II base off of Ebay that I use for my original VI and it looks good. Maybe that'll work for you?

This may be a dumb question (sorry in advance just in case!) but doesn't the original VI already have a similar diorama base anyway?

Not dumb at all, . Yeah, the original MK VI has a similar base to the Whiplash II, only it's smaller with a bit more drone pieces, etc. on it (the VI one). I grabbed the Whiplash II one so I had more room to pose my VI a little bit better.
