1/6 Hot Toys - MMS664-D48 - Iron Man - Iron Man Mark 3 (2.0 For Real This Time!)

[Gipetto0812]

Everything Iron Man will be remade until the end of time.

I'm surprised though we don't have an official Jericho suit or Cave Tony, also a 2.0 of Iron Man 3 Tony.

I could see Cave Tony eventually as a suit up type figure like Avengers suit-up Tony.

Mine arrived, and I'm still unboxing it. Question: Has anyone, anywhere, been able to assemble the two-part base? Iron Monger won't fit. The slot isn't wide enough for the middle pyramid piece. I measured and it's a couple of millimeters (at least) too small. I'm at a loss.

Hey man! I had the same issue as well! Couldn't fit the monger on the base until i tried it from the arm piece (left side when the base is facing you). Once I could slot in the arm into the base, the rest of the Iron Monger could squeeze into the base. All the best and hope that you could get it attached! Looking forward to photos!

Well, mine arrived in early December, but finally had time to open this up tonight. It is super nice, but putting the batteries in is a major pain. The instructions had the wrong batteries for the chest. Love most of the swap out parts are magnetically attached, very easy to swap out. The base took some brute force to put together, only for me to figure out the easy way to do it when I took it apart! Yes, the arm slot first!

I started collecting Hot Toys more than 10 years ago because I really wanted the BD Mark III, but couldn’t. Now that I finally have one in hand, It felt anticlimactic with a bit of melancholy. I only collect MCU and DC HT movie figures and now I finally got the figure that started my collection, there is nothing to look forward to in the near term in both movie universes. HT for once even skipped “The Marvels”! WOW! Maybe better luck in 2025?

Received mine today... So sad, small scratch on faceplate. Message sent to my seller.

What can I expect from HT ? I know it's minimal and it can blend into "light battle damage", but at this price tag, too bad. :/

Put the figure back in the box for now.

Painful. This is akin to scratches on the clear dome of Alien statues. Utmost care needs to be taken to protect these areas in particular, where collectors will focus, and QA should put eyes on these areas specifically before signing off.

I went to HK for Christmas and got a chance to visit Secret Base and I snapped a picture of this DC Mark III 2.0.

I don't know who your seller is, but I had those type of paint scratches on Iron Man and Stormtroopers and Sideshow replaced them for me with no hassle.

Do you know if the new Mark VI 2.0 is the same mold and proportions as the die-cast Mark VI? Think I read some comments saying they looked the same and it's basically a re-release.

I would assume a reissue tbh, with 'Updated paint-apps'

Since you mention it, the Mark VI 2.0 could be a "reissue" and not a true 2.0. Could be same figure except for new head sculpt and updated paint application, and the full gantry option. It makes sense because the Mark VI die-cast was released just before the Mark VII die-cast, and those 2 didn't really need a 2.0 like the Mark III and II do. Also look at the price of the Mark VI 2.0 (without the gantry), it's cheap compared to the other die-cast Iron Man figures, well under $400. This leads me to believe that it is a re-issue. It really didn't need an upgrade. I was debating on getting the previous Mark VI die-cast since I never had one (triangular arc reactor), and the previous plastic ones were expensive on the secondary market. Of course I missed out and plan to get this upcoming one.

Finally set up my new Mk III this weekend. Definite upgrade over the previous diecast Mk III, but that twisted waist piece the MMS256 had made for a better "ground-pound landing" pose. The new one can't twist as much, and the waist-hip flaps stick out awkwardly when you put it into that pose.

I just got mine today and its absolutely beautiful, it being my first diecast Iron man figure.

I was thinking to power it up without batteries , I've heard of "fusion reactor" sets that are used, but what about the RCN set from kit as an alternative? https://onesixthkit.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=5039

That kits sems really cool, I'd love to see real world examples here.

I almost joined the waitlist, but found out UF was getting, I believe, a third batch. It was cheaper and included double boxing. Sure it won't be the exclusive, but all it has is the crushed helmet which I likely won't use.

 

[DRTHV8R]

Sorry “UF”?

 

[Aybaig]

Dafuq is this Hot Toys? Cola Edition? Seriously? Is it diecast or made outta them Cola cans?

 

[goatchumby]

Electroplated edition!

 

[MasterRazzerr76]

Not my thing but look kinda cool

 

[Akiratang]

Gonna be expensive on aftermarket

Limited to 20 so not attainable, unless that limit is HK's limit and the rest of the world will get some. Even then it may be a couple hundred so low chance to own.
