Hot Toys – MMS132 - Iron Man 2: Mark VI full spec and pics

[Spanbauer]

I just got mine, ads I'm messing with it... his mit torso articulation seems kinda... off. also.. he seems kinda like a... bobble-torso? I'm guessing this isn't normal, but can someone confirm this for me?

When the torso articulation is expanded, my Mark VI is a bobble-torso as well; I guess I thought that was normal, but it's a big contributor to the frail feel of the figure I mentioned earlier.

so it is intended to be expanded and contracted?

 

[bandito]

So I heard the same about Mk IV- being lighter feeling than Mk III, So are we saying Mk VI is even LIGHTER than MK IV?? Any other comments?

Mk. 6 weights slightly more, using a not very accurate scale:

Mk.6 = 350g
Mk.4 = 345g

extra magnets, slight design changes, shoulders' micro munation adds weight.

Its not so much a weight issue as it is a sturdyness issue. The Mark IV seems sturdier, the Mark VI seems more loose and fragile.

 

[lerath666]

I was wondering about that myself. his right arm is all floppy at the shoulder, and both his knees are as well. everything else, seems ok... i wonder if there is an easy way to tighten up the knees....

aside from that, now that i've got the hang of the torso joint, it'sok.

Yeah I weighed everything while back. IIRC the Mark IV was heavier than the Mark III and War Machine was the heaviest by far.

edit: with stands according to my food scale:

Mark III - 395g
Mark IV - 387g
Mark VI - 387g
War Machine - 516g

I think the III actually weighs nearly exactly the same as the IV and VI but I've modified mine which may have added a few grams.

Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow!
I can't believe the number of quality control reports. It's unbelievable how many different ones there actually are. It's almost like everyone has their own unique MK VI, but in this case that's not such a good thing. i wonder if Hot Toys switched factories or something. I hope they can pull it together as a company for any future releases.

Still not shipped from toys2.
What is it taking so long? Weird.

 

[toystales]

My waitlist for the Ex with SSC just converted.

 

[Shrimpy]

I am also waiting for mine to arrive.

 

[Shrimpy]

I am also waiting for mine to arrive. arrghh

 

[Commtech]

My Sideshow waitlist for the exclusive will convert soon! Just got the email. Wooo hoooo!!

I've read comments on both sides about this figure.
There are those that say it's really loose, and others that say that the joints are too tight. I think I lucked out and got a "Goldilocks" one.

 

[Wussy]

ohh that sucks then i will no hope on their waiting list if they dont even have stock for pre-orders lol

 

[Boba Ben]

I just got the e-mail from Sideshow that my waitlist for the EX is going to convert. That makes three Mark VI's for me as I didn't think it was going to convert and ended up getting a reg from Sideshow and pre-ordering another one from Hastings. Hopefully, I can get a friend of mine to buy one of my regs off of me to cover the cost of this EX.

Got this figure last week and finally opened him up. Everything seems to be okay with the exception of the flap that goes over the hand on the battle damaged arm. It seems that the flap fell out of the two small tabs and one of them broke. Not a problem because it can be glued back on.

I do have a question: are the non-battle damage pieces suppose to have slight scuff marks? It's hard to tell, but it looks like the marks I have appear in some of the pics I've seen on here.
