At a glance, the upper arms of the MKIV are red with gold biceps(VI is gold with gunmetal biceps), and the thighs are red with gold panels, and red kneecaps(VI is totally gold thighs with gunmetal kneecaps).
Other than the different chest piece with the triangle chest RT, the MKVI is identical in design to the MKIV. The only differences are the coloured parts.

Very nice.
Hawkeye really does look the business.

I hear you. My Avengers shelf is getting crowded(And i don't even have Loki or Thor yet, never mind the MKVII and BD MKVII!).
I am going to pick up another couple of Detolfs on monday and spend the rest of the day fitting the lights in them.
When i have them i will be better able to space out my current collection and plan ahead for the rest of the avengers.
My collection is tiny by the standard of this board, but i might space the Avengers across three shelves on the same level.

You guys are fortunate to have Ikeas you can drive to. Being in Hawaii, I have just one I got off someone from craigslist who imported it over somehow and I have to jam pack it with as much as I can.

Here's my Avengers shelf:

I have Avengers Thor on the way and I don't even know how I'm going to fit Hulk in there!

Nice collections fellas! :clap

Thanks. I will be glad to space it out a bit more when i pick up the two new detolfs on monday.
I'll still have my three Red Skulls on one shelf, but might try and put them next to my Captain America shelf.

Having missed out on this is killing me. Its not like I didnt try at the time. My wife was getting me this and Luke for Christmas and she got scammed. By the time we got our money back he's skyrocketed and is now going like he's made of solid gold. It also shows that some figures, regardless of rarity also seem to be affected by location. I've heard Nick Fury is almost as rare, but If I wanted to, I could go out this afternoon and grab one for under £150 from where it has remained unsold for six months or so. If i were so inclined I could buy it, flip it and use the money for the hawk... but I refuse to pay £300 quid for an action figure.

No problem.
Bruce is wearing a black bodysuit from Tony Meis here on the forum, a chopped down batbelt, DX02 gauntlets and T-1000 biker boots on a TTM19 body.

Nice!

I actually thought it was the batsuit and you managed to shave off the bat symbol :lol

That is a GREAT pic. All it's missing is Widow having both pistols up firing.

It's a nice suit. I intend to go further with it. More of a comic book style. Less overt armour for a faster, less encumbered batman.
It will eventually have the batsymbol on there.

where can you get Fury for £150 from? I had a hawkeye i bought for £140, decided i didn't want and sold it for £230 then recently spent £260 to get another brand new one, lesson learnt i won't be selling anything i'm not sure about again. Love the figure now, got one with a better tailored outfit than my first too. I wouldn't give up yet, their rarely selling at the crazy prices their at atm, give it a while and the prices will creep down a bit.

just phone around all the forbidden planets that you can. One of them will have it on a shelf gathering dust.

Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am pleased to present to you the fruits of about an hour's worth of work this morning.
I decided when i got up to swap out the arms from Hawkeye and replace them with the more poseable arms from a DX10.
I know Renner's arms aren't "DX-10 big", but i wanted to get closer to a proper draw position. And i had both a spare DX10 and TTM19 bodies so i could do the swap(To see if it worked), *before* doing any long term damage to Hawkeye. It did work, with only a tiny amount of dremelling required. The good news is that the arms can be swapped.
The biggest problem was removing the Hawkeye clothing. It was an absolute nightmare. But it's done now, and i don't plan on swapping back any time soon.
In any case, the results are below. I don't mind the joints being visible as i prefer him having wider movements available and better poseability.
He's a lot closer to a proper draw than before, so i am very happy with it.
