Nice. I'll probably be ordering it soon as well. Please post some photos when you get it, and let me know which body you put it on. :)
 
Thinking about the ACI Christian body, or a new muscle body by World Box that I got today. For some reason they put a wee wee on it? :dunno The torso looks like a nice match for the outfit though, so we shall see when I get it. :lol

I just got word that the Asmus Avengers Tony costume set will be rereleased soon so those that missed out the first time (like me) can pick one up, the MC Toys set appears to be history. :gah:

So I'll have a extra set of bracelets from the Asmus Tony set I don't need.

There's an MC Toys set on ebay right now - just went up yesterday - if you're looking to bid. :wave
 
I just got my custom $35 IM3 Tony hs off EBAY today and it looks dam good. I am still waiting for the clothing set, but decided to try different bodies today and here are the results for those interested. First thing you can see is that the skin tone doesn't match the bodies, but with the clothes on and maybe a paint wash on the neck & arms it should look fine. The hs fits great on all the bodies thanks to an adjustable neck plug that is not glued in. Just pick the height you want and your all set. For those worried about giraffe neck, don't be cause I had the hs on pretty high. It can go way down to the shoulders if you want it too. :wink1:

ACI Christian body:

HS neck plug fits the best on this body. It pops right in and is easy to pick the height. Skin tone isn't too bad with natural light, but will look a bit off with the camera's flash. A good choice in my opinion for Tony's body size and ACI delivers quality at a great price. :)

World Box body:

So I just got this WB body the other day and it seems pretty sturdy with nice solid joints. It only comes with 1 set of hands, so for the picture I put some ACI hands on him to cover up the privates. The body is very shiny though and the color is way off the hs. Probably not going to use this one for Tony, even though I like the arm size on this one. I may change my mind, once the clothing gets here. :monkey3

HS has the best match to this body in my opinion and doesn't need much, accept the clothes. :lol The neck looks great & the skin tone is really nice, so I'm sure they made it to match this one. Only problem is the double jointed elbows will be visible in short/half sleeve shirts. The MC mechanic outfit will probably look like crap on that body, unless you can get the sleeves to cover up the joints. It should look great with one of those sweatshirt sets, even though HT has their own version on the way. I hope this helps anybody curious about that IM3 Tony HS floating around on EBAY and how it looks on some of the bodies out there. Once I get the clothing set in a couple of weeks I will post a picture of my finished custom Tony. :wave

I would be interested in the extra ones!

Unfortunately, the Asmus shirt is to thick and dims the light, and its blue. Couldn't get the MC one.

Looks good! That's my one problem with the Asmus shirt is that the screenprint looks "thick", I'm really glad I got the MC set when it was around.
 
I really like the two new headsculpts that will be coming with the "repairman" and the "mechanic" HT figures. I'm assuming that copycat heads will be available on Evilbay shortly after their release?
 
Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me?

I purchased a MC Toys Black Sabbath set from a fellow boardie. I received it today and it looks great, but the screenprint is very, very dark... Almost like it's faded or something. If I stand five feet away, I can't see the print at all. Is this normal? Reason I'm asking is because I've seen tons of photos regarding this outfit and the design really pops in them, but the design on mine is kinda hard to see. It's strange, because the pattern shows up okay in photos, especially ones with flash, but without flash or the unaided eye... :dunno :gah:

I'm real confused! And I certainly don't wanna leave feedback without more information. :lol

That's why I like the Asmus set.
I know with real t-shirts that some companies have an already "distressed" look for some of the printed t-shirts.
To make it look older than it is.
That's what you set looks like.
I'm not sure if that's how it was originally released.
Other pics of the MC set do look a bit...better than what you have.
Not trying to sound like a jerk.
