Hot Toys – MMS272D08 – Iron Man 3: 1/6th scale Hot Rod (Mark XXII)

[Tap Twist Snap]

Is it known if this one has any weathering? It was the only thing I was disappointed with the Iron Patriot as i really preferred the look of a totally clean version that the prototype looked to be.

All of the armors have weathering.

I think the try & do some weathering on all of the figures, that way any scuffs or scratches that occur in transit can be attributed to the weathering effect too. lol

Uhhh WAITLIST this early means NOTHING
Many many recent HT releases went to WL and then switched back later on.

Not really, remember what happen with Pyton?

 

[koon]

This is a Python simply coz it's metal. Shadow trooper would be more like Midas coz it's Star Wars forthe first time.
Python was also a learning experience resulting from how they released Midas.

 

[kevb0977]

Yeah, I recon they probably didn't make enough of Python BUT as Peacemaker is still hanging around I'm not sure what to make of how exclusives sell?!?

And it's GOTTA HERE!!!!

Hard to say. Peacemaker is a niche armor and a lot of folks don't like it's lack of torso articulation. Hot Rod probably has more fans and it's diecast, FWIW.

Ugh I forgot to Order this yesterday. Just hopped on WL

Being bright orange made it stand out as pretty cool really I thought, not sure they should've made Red Snapper or Peacemaker with a torso that isn't symetric but I guess the various figures have to have differences to keep them interesting.

It also saved about $100 in cost on them as well. If they didn't fuse the midsection there would have been many dynamic pistons and movement for complexity.

I was bothered about the fused torso before, but after getting it in hand, the bend is ever so slight. A non-issue for me now. Great figure Snapper is by the way.

I'm happy with my Red Snapper figure & the way I've got it displayed the torso looks good I think..., looking forward to getting Peacemaker soon & I'll make sure to position him so the torso looks right for the pose.

Did not like the NRD.

Did not have another option.

 

[Boba Debt]

I used Reward Points to buy mine and it ended up costing $172 and it doesn't look like they charged me a NRD

Nice to see you back

I had to buy one just because I love the star in the chest, really glad Hot toys stuck with movie continuity on that one
