Action Figure Hot Toys 1/4 scale Iron Man Mark 3

[BurningRage]

$613 for deluxe.

So to summarise, excluding the errors in the faceplate, the molds seem to be based off of the CGI version but with the colour assignment of the Prop suit. There is an extra flap that should only be on the Mark 2 and there are a couple of pieces that are either missing detail or don't line up.

Wow! Thanks for sharing, Dave!

Yup. Gonna' sit on this one for a while.

 

[Giantqtipz]

ok this is the holy grail right?

I'm gonna sell my Mark 42 that is unopened since release (I plan to open when I move), and keep this one instead. I don't see myself being excited for another Iron Man figure. This seems like a keeper.

and.........bought. Deluxe with $150 off on points makes it less damaging. Will go well with the other 3 Marks. Really hope they go back and do all 7 in 1/4 scale. With an HOA!

$567?!? [emoji38] Seems way too overpriced to me, especially in comparison to TDK Joker and Batman Begins Batman.

Edit: I just realized that's not even for the exclusive, but only the regular release. What a joke.

Not that much more expensive than the earlier Marks though..

Hrm... I dunno, I think I'm leaning towards Sideshow's statue for a quarter scale mk3 representation. I'm typically a figure guy, not a statue guy, but I almost feel like the statue looks more natural.

I'm reaching the point where, with over 150 figures, so many of them Iron Man, there are just a finite number of interesting poses you can get them into.

I'm thinking it may be worth foregoing articulation this time for (what appears to be) better proportions and color. May wait for in hand pics of the statue to decide.

I preordered this at BBTS. Upfront down payment is fairly steep imo for a down payment over a year out, but helps break up the payment i suppose.

Got the regular version. Was on the fence with that decision, regular or deluxe. $60 savings and simplicity were the deciding factors.

As for purchase.. with the cost gravitating into the over $1000NZ for me by the time I pay taxes and shipping, the Mk 43 will more than likely always stay my one and only quarter scale. The detail on it is insane and it really does look a lot better than the sixth scale. (Many say the quarter scale 45 just looks like a bigger version of the sixth scale)

And while the III is a classic and iconic suit, it does look dated now, even compared to the IV and VII. I know it was just the v2.0 of Tony's first proper suit (the II), but by comparison to a modern suit it looks like he made it out of a coke can with tin-snips.. If I didn't already have a quarter scale, this might be the one I'd grab given the 10th Anniversary and nostalgia though.. (the VI or VII at the same scale is more appealing however)

Yup. Gonna' sit on this one for a while.

I'll get excited in about 18 months from now..till then I will likely get excited by about 40 other new releases!

 

[Medusoid]

...$613 for this thing?

Go home, Hot Toys, you're drunk.

Neither is going to sell out before shipping so that is a good plan.

 

[tohave]

Please, do. I've been lookin' at The Art of Iron Man a lot after the announcement and kinda goin' crazy right now... Would be nice to have someone share it with me.

Did the Art of Iron Man illustration show any design of the mark3 suit, specifically under the back flaps? The quarter scale figure has its details seem quite simple/lacking under the back flaps.

Do you guys think the RDJ head sculpt from the Mark 43 will fit here? Does it fit on the Mark 42?

I'm planning to sell my Mark 43 Deluxe which is still unopened since release day... I don't know whether to open it to keep the head sculpt or buy separately on ebay. There are a few listed right now, and I'm not sure if they're originals or custom..

Why wouldn't you just keep the head and sell the rest of the Mark 43 if you have it? Will probably save the most money that way too.

Haha I'm just thinking it might have more value if it's unopened and not tampered with

Maybe it's just me, but I just assume that buyers won't completely trust the description, and the condition if I tell them I never took the figure out of the box, and only opened it to keep the headsculpt.

Amazing how quickly this thread died, I guess IW is taking the spotlight

 

[The Hitchhiking Ghost]

I just think a lot of us who are planning on getting this are laying in wait. And yeah, it was sort of announced right before the ****storm of IW releases.
