A Hot Toys Iron Monger 1/6

[FLOSI]

I'd think there's just about a zero percent chance of seeing this...

Howard: ...As for Iron Monger, it was always a case of cost issues and pricing, as you know it is a very large figure in 1/6 scale so to really do it justice and yet making it a price that will still be supported by the dealers and customers remain the greatest challenge.

Personally I want to see this made! But now given that Iron Man 2 the movie will be released soon and we are already committed to making a few characters from the new movie.

Sounds as if they've looked into it, decided not to do it but have yet to bury it all the way...

Why are we talking about this

Why are we talking about this

Not quite sure... I think this is a grail for some.

 

[devastator's balls]

This and the 1/6 Alien Queen wont be happening anytime soon, and that makes me sad....

I always get sad too when I see this or the 1/6 Queen thread get bumped, long forgotten dreams....

 

[devastator's balls]

...he does say "Personally I want to see this made..." So for what it's worth I guess, he has his own passion to see this figure come to fruition.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed!

Mabey just to keep for himself? that'd be pretty sad cuz it'd be such a tease just like Arnie Kim's "Street" Rocky.

 

[EVILFACE]

No interest, but would like to see this made.

 

[a-dev]

HAHA!

HT also has said for ages that a 1/6 Alien Queen is "In Development"...so...

Well no they said ages ago that it was in development. They are not 'still saying it' like your phrasing suggests. The ship has long sailed on that one.

 

[The Mike]

Yeah but this is Hot Toys not Sideshow. They made the Power Loader, ED-209, the Tumbler and Batpod all in 1:6 so if Howard Chan says they are working on a 1:6 Iron Monger I believe him.

Look I'd be the first to gush over a well done Iron Monger but he didn't say they are working on him he said "its in their development plan". That could mean anything from "I'd be nice to do this one" to "There is a prototype we are working on". I guarantee you that it was in their development plan with Iron Man 1 as well. Folks shouldn't get their hopes up this is Marvel's version of the 1:6 Alien Queen.

if they can go back and do Matrix stuff, Iron Monger is still a possibility, but not holding my breath on it.

not to mention, Hot Toys started with AVP preds then went back to do Pred 1 and 2. HT is tricky. Unpredictable.

I hope if it does come it's not for a very long time... too much in the que as is.

I was under the impression as were many collectors that the reason they did AvP first is because they had the license and as they aquired the licenses for Predator 1 and 2 they went into that realm. It isn't exactly unpredictable as a measure of business negotiations. This isn't exactly the case as they've had full rights to the Iron Man license from the go and it isn't like they are trying to go back to do something from a completely different time.

 

[Darklord Dave]

We'll see Iron Monger from HT the same month that SSC ships the 1/6 Gimli.

 

[Cryoguns]

Right after HT releases the 1/6th Alien Queen and RoboCain

 

[Hydeous]

I think they are seriously considering this. Since a 1/6 iron monger would no doubt sell better in the market compared to say, alien queen or robocain.

 

[tylerdurden]

as a design, i prefer robocain over iron monger. a ht version would be so wicked. i'd pay any amount (up to $300!) for one.

doubt any of these would happen though.

I beg to differ. A 1/6 Queen will outsell a 1/6 Iron Monger no question.

an alien fan, I presume

 

[Skiman]

We are still talking about this....

 

[darren1228]

Nope, more of a Predator and Marvel fan.
