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

What fading problem are you guys talking about?

There have been a few instances of the rubber crotch area fading...including a few that appear to have never left the box.

Fading is kind of random, affects both Mk.4 and 6...

Does putting the figure in a display case with a silicon gel packet help avoid/reduce the fading problem?

I think it's luck and production batch... all 7 of mine have been out with the same exposure and with varying fading .. will post compilation pic later.

Thanks! Cos i'd hate to see the beautiful red on my IM fade

 

[SAB]

My mk6 is on its way ...fingers crossed there will be no fading!

Has this fading problem affected any of the war machine figures?

Can gunmetal gray fade?

nope, none on warmachine.

Good because that's the next one i'm getting. I was going to get the MK III BD and VI, but you guys and this fading talk has really put me off.

I think WM is a better choice. No offense but to me the BD Mark III is one of HT's ugliest IM figures, especially if you decide to put it next to the Mk VI.

I'm skipping the MK III anyway and you never know they might do another one.

I haven't had any fading issues with any of my Iron Man Hot Toys yet but I keep mine out of sunlight.

Can gunmetal gray fade?

only down side on War Machine is he's not exactly screen accurate and his poseability is terrible. Other than that he is a great figure.

 

[BB&WSF]

going back to the fading problem, it will fade eventually even if you keep them in dark, enclosed areas. it's the rubber material that eventually 'seeps' the color. as i've mentioned when this first came out, even those still in packaging have started to fade. we just have to live with the fact that it's meant to be, just smear it with a little gundam marker then you're good to go

Any other suggestions? I have my IV and VI boxed up, but with all these talks of fading, guess I'll open the boxes tonight have a dekko. Has anyone tried to paint their IM's under-wear yet? If yes, what kind of paint would stick to that shiny rubber?

 

[EXOTICLEX]

I've read where some people have colored their fading undy's so you just have to read through the mark III BD thread and I'm sure you'll find it.

I saw this in a another thread and you can see fading on the MK III and that doesn't look like it gets sunlight.

BY the way how awesome does that setup look?

 

[EXOTICLEX]

that is a great setup and I couldn't speak on the first Mark III as I don't own it. It is several years older so I'm sure it is bound to happen.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

I also know on my BD Mark III the underoo is much more noticeable than the new Mark IV and the Mark VI

 

[EXOTICLEX]

also the first Mark III is a different color than the BD Mark III so it may just be that in this pic above and not fading.
