Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Starboost

[kevb0977]

I had family and work commitments, which basically means the wife telling me I did'nt have time to unbox them?

Hope to remove them from the packaging Friday pm.

I have to have the patience of a Saint!

Well that sucks, hope you get the free time to have a look at them.

The box for Igor is massive! It looks like it could be a box for a large scale statue.

It is about as big as the Batman Dark Knight Armory. My wife texted me and said that this hugungous Hot Toys' box is here!

been on the fence for a long time but finally decided to order Starboost and mainly because of it's unique look

this one doesn't feel as just "another" iron man

Apologies for poor quality pic.

If truth be told, I'm not a big fan of Iron Man (sacralidge to say such a thing in an IM thread!), but there are a few suits that I really like the look of, mainly 'not your regular looking suits', SB & PM being two of them. Both are eye catching in their own way.

My only gripe with SB is inserting the batteries in the back, for the light in his chest. I'm not sure if my fig is slightly defective or not, but I'm having a real hard time taking the 'back armour' off. I've actually conceded defeat and left the batteries out. Seeing as I do not display any of my figs with their lights on, it's not a big deal really.

I also have Igor on display, but have yet to take a pic. He is easily the best fig I own. Such size, presence and weight, he is truly a beast compared to the other suits. Anyone sitting on the fence about purchasing him should hesitate no longer.

Make sure you stretch out his abdominal area before you try pulling out the back panel insert the batteries. I had a tough time inserting batteries too but it was easy once i figured it out. Now I'm having a hard with silver centurion!

I didn't think of doing that tbh. Thanks for the advice.

Sometimes its not a bad idea to watch video reviews. You wouldn't wanna pull a shartimus, lol!

I finally had the chance to pose my Starboost today and I noticed this when I was unboxing. Any of you guys have paint coming off from the hand?

Man, that sucks! I'm having no luck with this figure. First, there was a huge scratch on the face plate which I had to sent back but Rob from Popculturezone was more than happy to exchanged it. Now, the posable hand on the back when I took it out from the box the paint were coming off. Hopefully, I can get a new hand. Otherwise, he's a sick looking figure.

Yeah...I've heard about problems with the poaeable hand. That's why i don't use it much. It's either the fist or repulsor hands for me.

LOVE this guy. One of the coolest suits.

Lovely pics, fellas. (Tries to ignore facial tic)

Yea, one of my articulated hands has some paint missing. I have mine posed with the repulser hands though, so I haven't really worried about it. I probably will see about getting a replacement.

Just noticed some paint missing from one of my articulated hands the other day. Weird.
