Avengers Iron Man Mark VII Life Sized Bust

[SurlyJ]

Those busts are recasts, you can probably get a sideshow version for $600 cos the price on these has tanked.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Though it's never reassuring when the price on something tanks!

What the hell is going on with this bust? How many times has this been pushed back? It was shipping in July, now it's still preorder for October! After paying this off 2 years ago I'm ready to cancel this. I'm getting tired of the BS.

Serious?! Man that sucks! Have you tried actually contacting them to see what is going on? I know that these have been shipping in batches (which is the new Sideshow craze of getting their collectibles out) but it's shocking you've had to wait this long! I received mine about 2 and bit weeks ago, which I had to destroy due to different shades of red on the head and torso...and my replacement arrived on Monday just gone! Definitely get in touch with them bro and good luck

 

[TheMovieManiac]

I emailed them. Thanks man!

Hey guys, my replacement bust has arrived and a big thanks to William and the team at Sideshow for providing me with a much better colour match Here's a quick comparison pic to show the noticeable difference of red on both the head and torso on the original bust compared to the new replacement bust

Andy, if you do get the AR design finished can you send me the finished file so I can print it. I am thinking about printing it on transparent vinyl. Thoughts?

Of course I can bro no problem at all printing on vinyl would be a great idea...let me see what designs I've got saved on my IPad and I'll forward them over via PM

So...what's the reason that it takes Sideshow so long to make and release these busts? I obviously have no idea how their business model works, but I would think that you would want to release a product for a new movie (not an older movie with a multi-decade cult fan base, like BTTF) as close to the release of the film the collectible is based on?

Iron Man 3 came out in...summer 2013 I think? And this won't be released until 2015? What's the logic in that? I'd imagine that there are a lot of people who would've loved to have had this in the summer, fall, or even winter of 2013, who have LOOOOOONG since moved on due to delays and the movie falling into a distant memory thanks to Cap 3, Guardians, etc.

I love Iron Man. Loved Iron Man 3. But even I'm like with this collectible. Just seems like a bad approach to make money and keep loyal customers...but again...
