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

[Ozpin]

I just received mine and the lights in both arms aren't working. I'm pretty sure it's an uncommon issue, as nobody else has reported it. Anyone have any tips before returning that I can try?

Trying using 2 batteries instead of 3 and waiting 10 to 20 secs and see if they eventually turn on.

When did you join the waitlist?

I went on WL may 27th (pretty much first day the exclusive went on WL).

Did you try with a different hand or no hands on the figure at all because the closed fists it comes with doesn't actually light up I think.

I've been using no hands and the little arm gauntlet accessories. I asked sideshow about it, they told me to try and clean the contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. The left arm now lights up dimly but when I bend the arm, the lights turn off; still nothing on the right. I tested the batteries on my Ultron so it looks like I just got a pair of bad arms.

One more thing you can try is to stretch the spring in it a tiny bit. Give it more contact.
My friend and I both have this MK6 and lights all working.

Same here. Not sure if I really "need" a second one though...

 

[charter321]

I doubt my WL converts so if anyone doesn’t want an extra...I’ll take it!

 

[sattop]

Does anyone know when the regular Mark VI went on waitlist?
I joined on June 1st, doubt it converts....

Finally got my Mk 6. Sadly the right arm battery port screw is stripped. I also have a blemish on the Tony Stark head sculpt.

You get it from an authorized seller?

Got my Mark VI today!!! Not to mention it's my VERY first Hot Toys figure, I'm so happy to finally own a HT now.






"DAD???"

Congrats on your first Hot Toys. This exact figure was my first one. Only got him a few months ago. He is awesome! Now I have to pay off the 7 other figures I have on PO. All other things I’ve been collecting (Pops & comics) has taken a backseat to these. There is no comparison.

 

[Motuxmen]

Congrats on your first hot toys. Good one to start with.sets the bar really high. WhT do you think if hot toys in comparison to other stuff you collect?

Questions are for both Rbeato and orionmagnus

Yeah. Got it from Sideshow. They've been notified and will update me tomorrow. Hopefully it's good news.

Thanks! Feels good to be part of the norm now, haha.

I've always viewed these guys as the absolute pinnacle of collecting when viewed in the big picture. Ever since I discovered Hot Toys about 5 years ago, I've always wanted to get one but never could afford them (particularly followed the Iron Man/War Machine armors). Now, finally having one just makes me feel great- like I've achieved a milestone in my hobby, as stupid as that sounds.

In regards to comparison to my other stuff, this is my most expensive item yet. I'm usually real delicate with all of my collectibles, as I'm sure most people are, but this one I'm gonna take extra care of, for obvious reasons.

Doesn’t sound stupid at all. The way these things make you feel is a big part of collecting them I think. And all collecting really. They are a bit addicting so watch out for that. Lol

The difference between the good 1/6 stuff and most other figures is crazy these days. They are amazing for sure.

Congrats again and welcome to the club!

That’s good. Thy should be able to help with at least the face and probably the arm as well. I always recommend buying a nice set of jewelers screwdrivers so you have less chance of stripping the screws. The ones hot toys includes are pretty crappy.

Damn, how hard did you go at that screwto strip it like that?

Also I think some pimple cream will help get rid of Tony’s zit.

Yeah. I have a jeweler screw set but that's not the case. The screw looked to already haven stripped. So when I went to go unscrew it I only made it work. Either way I can only hope that they can help me. Only time can tell...
