Hot Toys - Iron Man 2 - MMS600 - 1:6 Tony Stark (Mark V Suit up Version) Figure

[Spanbauer]

Probably first-look at the final product here on display at Rebel Base as he’s due in December-January.

Close-up photo third image in the link. Compared to the prototype, I noticed the hair doesn’t come down to the eyebrows anymore and the slash in his cheek is much more gnarly.

Interesting. I wonder why they changed the hair...

Almost looks like the hair piece (or some of it) comes off .... could it be to accommodate a partial helmet or am I just smoking crack?

Maybe the hair comes off to make wrapping the half-helmet around the head easier, then drops back in.

hair sorta looks like it's a floating toupée now

Yup that's probably what it's for

"Step one: remove Tony's toupée..."

I’ve noticed some of your photos don’t load like this one. Not sure if it’s me, you or the forum that’s the problem

I've had that too with these instagram links; sometimes they show up for me and sometimes they're just a blank white square (even the one I linked myself is a blank white square right now). Are you also using the Safari browser on a Mac or iPhone or iPad?

I figure it's either a problem with the forum or a problem with Instagram blocking content from Safari users because of the tracking blockers Apple has built in.

Maybe it's the photo, but a lot of the likeness is lost with that shorter hair style...

Probably a combo of the photo, instagram compression, and lighting. The head looks sort of squished but again, I don't think that's an issue with the figure but the photo itself.

And that’s precisely why I don’t let anyone tag me in photos.

Appeara to be released

 

[Spanbauer]

Saw the photo of the boxes ready to go. So Monday release, probably? I don’t think they do Saturday releases.

The only potential selling point for this figure for me was that headsculpt. With that shorter front hair, it throws off the likeness for me, but guess we'll find out shortly with the blogger pics...

Blogger pics are out. Think you’ll be happy!

This is one of their best sculpts ever, I think.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Looks really good!

 

[Rbeato]

Sheeeesh that sculpt then the mark I comes out with the decade old sculpt (be nice if they upgraded it since they didn’t on the figure itself since 2.0)

 

[ZE_501]

That looks great! Only took twelve years.

I've followed these armours since the beginning, and at this point I really think this one, the Mark I, and the Granov/Saunders-designed Mark III were the best. They feel comic-book but I can believe them on screen.

There are other great armours but they're all variations on a theme to satiate appetite for novelty and sell merchandise. (Duh.)

Hmm, still holds up I suppose!
