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

[Hydeous]

thanks.

you cant rotate his forearms. just his shoulders and wrist.

i think this is an immaculate figure & im gonna purchase him without hesitation, i dont think that hot toys will make a battle damaged verison of him, if they took this much time to fix some defects with the figure im assuming that this will be the only product that they'll be releasing of him. as for the articulation...its sufficiant, hes a big bulky suit, not a gymnast.

 

[Hydeous]

anyone whos hesitating, should get this now!

On hand this is amazing and feel very solid and heavy. In fact hes even taller than my mark 3

 

[jye4ever]

Crap,

let me get this straight, he doesn't shoot real rockets and bullets.....wait just a ****** minute here, AND you're saying that he doesn't even fly?

Hot Toys, you disappoint me once again.

See, now that's just wrong.

If I get this figure and he can't simply extend his arms out...I'm selling it.

That's his main pose. I literally just noticed how slyly they hid that in the promo pics:

Look, the tops of his forearm gauntlets can only face upward if you make him lift his arm sideways.

It's hard to explain...grr, but it's an unacceptable piece of missing articulation. Like, you can't do what he's doing there, with his right arm, without the gun being on the bottom? That's not on. If that's how it is. I'll just cancel mine now.

maybe because in the movie he cant turn his forearms

I know

He can. He extends his arms out, and the guns are at the side, and he crosses his arms over. I saw it four times, I know what I'm talking about.

That pose, but with the gun at the side of his arm.

The guns are clearly at the sides.

The guns are clearly at the sides.

But that is not rotating only the forearms, it is like the whole arm that is rotated at the shoulder.

Hey Hydeous I wonder if you could confirm something for me. Are the shoulder joints on WM designed the same way as the shoulder joints on the previous IM figures? (Mark II, III, BD)

Or are they different? At a glance they look a bit different in how the arms attach to the torso.

My 3 inch War Machine can do it. You're telling me a $175 Hot Toys War Machine can't?

I'm honestly just curious. If you're all fine with that, I respect that, but I'm cancelling mine if that's the case. The arms on my friend's Iron Man figures (Hot Toys) rotate 360, so I assume the War Machine ones can. If that's not the case, bad enough, but the fact that you can't get him into his most famous movie pose? That's just unacceptable.

I think they are designed the same way, except that it has been perfected. sturdier ball joint, and I think the diameter of how far the arms can rotate is expended. It looks natural now, where the old Mark 2 etc you have to futze it a bit to make it look proportional to the rest of the body.

I somehow feel like the presence of WM is on par with the statue 1/4 version of him.

thats what I see as well.

dude, if you are happy with your 3 inch hasbro, then so be it.

That's not the point. Why is everyone taking issue with others having problems with this figure?

My point is that if they can do it in a 3 inch figure, but not in a $175 dollar figure...what's the money for?

Thanks for the info. Congrats, btw.

this is the same as the previous hot toys iron man arms dude. so whatever pose you want him to do, if the old previous ones can, then so can this one.

cheers bud

 

[The Mast]

Do you know what I mean, though?

Like, let me explain it. When Rhodey salutes in the movie, the machine gun is on the outside of his forearm, right? That's where they are on the figure, perfect.

My issue is that in the movie, also, he clearly had his arms extended out, with those guns at the sides. It appears you can only extend his arms out with the bicep facing up into the sky, not inward, like bodies actually do.

Look at that gif:

When he spreads his arms out, his biceps are clearly facing forward, his fists are closed with the palm facing down, and the guns are at the sides where they should be.

You apparantly can't do that, and that sucks. I wanted to have him in his movie pose, and I can't. Might as well cancel.

Oh well, thanks for the help anyway, man.

 

[plasmid303]

You mean like this? Not really sure what you're going off about, Mast, but I'll try:

(btw this is a photo by board member 'OMG')

 

[Hydeous]

^you can even go up further, if thats what you are trying to do.

but it just doesnt look natural, as the HT ones do not have those wires and cables on the armpit, like the one in the movie.
