Hot Toys –MMS120 - Iron Man 2: War Machine full spec and pics

[Firebird]

That's no problem at all. Glad you like them and received them safely. Can't wait to see some pics.

Some members here have used 90% rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab. It will not damage the underlying gun-metal color paint.

Other than the silvery parts... the rest is the colour of the plastic itself

So, the darker grey areas on WM is not really painted. It is just the color of the plastic?

Yes ... but with minor touch-up... silivery decals for weathering effect

 

[Firebird]

Thanks for clarifying that bandito.

Yup. Just watched that scene a few minutes ago.

Are you 100% sure about this? I don't wanna screw this up.

 

[vodoun]

Yes. It's not paint. Just don't flood it like nail polish remover (acetone free) too much can start to dissolve plastics if you're careless leaving it on. It's really not as bad as it sounds. It'll take the decal off in no time. It did with me anyway with acetone free.

Keep a bowl of luke warm water and a cloth near by to wipe any excess off afterwards from the cotton swob.

 

[toyrewind]

I have tried using 70% isopropyl alcohol (it's the only one I have available) and it didn't have any effect on the decal. Would it be ok to wipe it multiple times until it takes effect?

 

[vodoun]

Yes. Sometimes it takes a bit of pressure. Just don't be rubbing away for 10+ minutes. You don't want to buff it up with the cotton swob.

It should really start to be wearing through the paint transfer if it's working. If it's not even after pressure for 5 minutes, I'm afraid it ain't eating through the transfer.

Mine had started wearing through within 1 - 2 minutes.

Wow, looks like your WM has been upgraded bro Ralph!

it amazing that a couple decals can bring some much out of a figure. Stupid HT for not doing this in the 1st place

 

[RyanSD]

I never realized this guy was missing so many decals. I might have to do something about that.

Some of the logos are under copyright that Hot Toys didnt have so they couldnt include them. The same way you wouldnt see a Nike logo on a figure even if the character wore them in the movie.

Yup, it's additional money Hot Toys would have to pay. If they did, they would pass those costs onto us.

I'm fine with the way WM is.
