1/6 Hot Toys - PPS002 - Iron Man Mk XXXV Red Snapper

[PopCultKid]

I completely agree with you , I think most people are overlooking this . We will see how much the Igor MMS goes for but I have a feeling it would be around that price point. Even with it being PPS it seems to be a fairly solid figure IMO. I am interested to see what they do with this line.

I'm interested in seeing too. It really feels like they don't know what to do with it. Both PPS so far are very far off from each other in price and posability so I don't know what the goal is for this line

And lot of people seem upset at the materials, relative cost, and acronyms of these figures. For me, I just try not to get hung up on such things. If I like the figure and I feel it's worth my hard earned cash then I will buy it. Inflation surely sucks but it's gonna happen. From the lineups I have been seeing at the Hot Toys store, nothing seems to indicate a change. The reason why the prices are going up is because the demand has increased due to good marketing. I'm pretty sure the days when we could grab a hot toy for cheap are gone cos these guys are no longer a specialized hobbyists product but have gotten pretty mainstream. As sad as it sounds I'm pretty sure that we the members of this forum represent but a tiny portion of the buyers and there are many others who don't exercise the same discretion as us when making a purchase. Simple economics of demand and supply.

I also don't understand why people are naturally assuming that the quality of the diecast models are worse. I have seen all the new products up close and they look pretty darn good even for prototypes. Also where is the 40 percent metal being thrown around this forum sourced? I asked my guy at the hot toys store and he told me 50 percent? Just curious...

I will be passing on this figure, too many good armors yet to be launched! However, the quality of this figure far surpasses that of the PI in its current state. I can see many differences between the two, many more than even listed before. Impressive for a smaller model to show so much more detail than the larger one. PI needs to step up their game or risk being relegated before they even set a good foothold.

yea it started out seeming like just a koto style statue thing. Now im not sure where they are going. But im open to something new.

And if we were never gonna get an MMS of Redsnapper im glad we at least got this PPS. If they start doing MMS of the PPS stuff then I will have more questions

The questions about exactly how different the PPS line is to the MMS line has been blurried even more with this release. It appears to be much closer to an MMS with articulation and options than the Mark XLII PPS.

god peeps, this debate would be over if people would just look at the specs. the power pose series has LIMITED articulation. the specs on the ss website say 15 points....that's it!

This hobby has definitely drawn the line between those who can afford to collect and those who shouldn't collect.

Can't wait til Hot Toys tries to sell a collectible Soap on a Rope.

This is certainly not worth the price point to me.

 

[GodofWar]

This figure has less than half articulation that an MMS so you are limited on movement and posing. If this figure goes for over $250.00, I can imagine a MMS version for over $350.00.

right we get that but the the Redsnapper seems to fall in the middle of the 42 PPS and a regular figure. Not knowing what this line is supposed to be is what the convo is about

I pre ordered from BBTS for now. Can always cancel later on

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

What gets me is this suit going to have more than 90 seconds of screen time???

Spoiler

Nope not at all! ) Doesn't even get a close up. My advice to those who think this is a must have, see the movie first. If you still like it, good for you.

 

[EFFalcon]

$280 in Aus...

seeing the movie tonight, will make a choice tomorrow

but hey... things like the Stealth/Secret project versions of the existing armours attract interest and they're just repaints!

 

[vangeta]

Thank you Hot Toys for confusing the living daylights out of people.

At least they're repaints of notable suit models.

 

[EFFalcon]

Hahah, dunno whats better

If i get it, i can setup a battle scene between the Gantry and the Red Snapper

Gantry?

To be honest though, if I had infinitely indispensable income I'd get all of the suits. Final rumble was nice.

who has the bigger claws haha.

Can you say if

Spoiler

The Gemini Suit gets much screen time?

 

[Yoshi]

The forearm "snapper" things on this figure look stupid IMO, would look much better without.

 

[EFFalcon]

I'd actually consider customising this figure if i got it.
make up some more menacing looking arms
