1/6 Hot Toys - MMS378D17 - The Avengers: Iron Man Mark VI Collectible Figure

[yy0925]

IV for the collector who just wants one IM figure and wants a more iconic look.

This seems to apply to me. This should be my first and only Iron Man. So the iconic look from Iron Man the first movie (Mark III/Mark IV) is essential for me.

Thanks for pointing that out. It's decided!

The extreme spaces/gap in the hip area on the new figure is clearly a step back in the name of extra articulation. I am done with these overpriced "diecast" iron men figures anyway..

Thanks for that valuable insight, cause you can really tell there’s a gap for certain. Being as you have it in hand. There are several pics from in hand owners that show the gap was complete BS. It’s from the extended torso to contort for a ground punch that seemingly every iron man owner must do it seems. But keep on trollin’.

Which one to go for? Mark VI or Mark IV? They both look awesome!
I can't decide...

Both for completest who need to have them all, or all they can get.

VI for those who just want one or the other to contrast the MKIII or another figure(s), because out of the two the VI is most contrasting with the triangle reactor.

Glad I could help. I think the IV makes a perfect Iron man for those who want "just one" as it marries many of the best elements between the III and VI.

I could have seen myself making the same decision if I didn't have any Iron Man figures. But, because I already have the DC MkIII, and I actually love it even with it's flaws and odd proportions, I decided to get the VI, again because it has more contrast from the III beyond just the better proportions with the triangle reactor.

I always find it interesting how various collectors choose what to get and what to pass on. I think I hit the biggest three factors in deciding between the IV and VI for many collectors. My guess is the desire to have the gantry captures a fourth group of collectors who would pick the IV either over or along with the VI.

Anyway, glad you feel good about what you decided. Welcome to the board.

I agree with your assessments!

I also love the MK3 diecast. The 4 is basically the chest and colour scheme of 3 with the redesigned body elements of 6. I always much preferred the MK3 over the 4.
The 4 is really a glorified stopgap between the MK3 and 6.

Yup, I agree. I like the Mk III, despite it's flaws in its proportions ,because it most reminds me of the classic comic. The IV is almost that too but not quite as much for me; for instance, those two screws on his collar bone on the MkIII are nice nod to the classic comic that is missing on the IV. But I can understand why many who don't care about those details would prefer the IV for a classic look because of the better proportions.

By getting the VI I get a figure with those proportions to contrast the body design of the III and I think while almost all the Iron Man armors honor the work of Adi Granov the VI with the triangle arc reactor really captures his influence the most. So the III to me is the classic Iron Man, and the VI is kind of the vol 4 more modern version of the same classic character. Of course some of the other armors capture even a more modern take on Iron Man, but I think I like the more classic looks more.

I actually don't think they can improve much on it as I think it capture's what is in the film well. The proportion issues are the ones chosen in the first movie. They went for an exaggerated v shape "hero" look for his upper body and the lower body seemed small and out of proportion by comparison. But this isn't Hot Toys fault. I'm not saying it can't be improved on at all, but I think most improvements would be tweaks at best (up the scale a tad, more ankle pivot, etc). The waist actually looks accurate to the film and I don't think the movie design allows for adding much articulation without sacrificing the accuracy of the movie design. I'm fine with the interchangeable waist option for this design. I am still very much happy with my Mk III.

Love these looks clearly based off "Extremis" and "Bleeding Edge" in the comics (even though not officially those in the movies)

in the i want one 1/6 IM in collect camp and have none so far, love the BE in comics so the 46 was gonna be it then after seein talk of the thin waist looking all odd it began to bother me as well(have seen pics where it almost appears like a 1/4 scale fig slapped on a 1/6 scale bottom half) so then i set sights on this avengers one... now im back to unsure on which lol

Really wished that the main Arc reactor was much brighter. You can definitely tell the difference on how much brighter the Mark 46 is.

Yes! The best IM out there. Nice seeing the evolution.

All I need now is in hand shots of 6 and WM MK1.

this or some butchers style paper slipped in a great idea for brighter white chest light/appearance . bit of clear frosted plastic be even better but bet it wouldn't fit.

But the thing is, is the arc reactor bright enough? that even with tape wouldn't the light be defused more?

I'm curious to see how much tape diffuses the light across the entire triangle. May have to do it myself if it looks right. I love seeing the details of the arc but it definitely would've been nice if this came with a plastic slip in accessory for the chest RT like the 1/4 scale Mk43 did. It would at least give us the option.

yeah great point, may look better w/o lights on for this mod

oh wow didnt even know they did that with the 1/4th

 

[CollectorGuy]

So is this set for next month? That would be ideal for me.

"clearly" might be pushing it with mk 6/Extemis the only thing in common is the triangle and Extremis's is isnt even a triangle

The extreme spaces/gap in the hip area on the new figure is clearly a step back in the name of extra articulation.

I think it looks fine. Doesn't bother me one bit.
