Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Starboost

[campluswhit]

Cool, good to have you here..... or commenting here I should say hehe

Thanks! With 10 figures in and another 10 on the way, I've realized this hobby isn't going to slow down for me, so best to start contributing to the community that understands me and my struggle......

That said, Starboost/Gemini is going to be my second IM armor (got VII.....43 and HB are going to be a must though) and I cannot wait for this! So clean and unique compared to the rest..........and with the LED's in the jetpack portion, I'm loosing it this figure is so cool. Also hearing that theres a good deal of weight to is as well will make it pretty satisfying in itself

Welcome to the board!

Pieces not lining up on the figure perfectly doesn't bother me. But the way that Gemini is designed and engineered - what with the jetpack and the hip panels - concerns me. I'm not looking forward to paint rub if I pose a limb the wrong way or with too much force.

Thanks so much!

And yeah, considering how complex this figure looks/is, the potential for issues like paint rub seem more likely than I'd like to acknowledge, which is worrying. I'm planning my poses now, so that I can take him outta the box and hopefully limit how much I have to touch him to avoid any such problems haha

no i mean just get the exclusive red LED helmet on eBay, and buy the figure from CD

Gotcha, makes sense..., hope you find one nicely priced then.

So where's the pics? That's why I was asking. Not to hear you brag my friend. Lol

Will throw some pics up tonight my friend! Can confirm mine also has QC issues, I thought it was just my posing skills...yeah shoulders don't quite line up...barely noticable...doesn't bother me nor my ocd tho.

PICS:

So perty! Might actually keep my p/o for this if I can afford too. Wasn't a fan of Heartbreaker in the end tho.

Very nice pictures, think I get mine in February but I'm not too sure really as it's usually a couple of months after Sideshow start sending out orders, before retailers get stock SO it might be longer before mine turns up..., looks to be another great figure though.

They probably went all cheapskate on us thinking that the jet pack was enough of an extra over & above other suits. lol

Lots of Gemini review goodness!

I'm in two minds whether to keep my order or not. It's clearly a stunning figure but I feel like I should get a standard coloured IM for my collectiion (I don't really want two IM's). I hate making decisions!

It only occurred to me recently that although I'm quite happy buying all of the HPP suits as I find the red/gold suits a bit boring..., I don't actually own what I consider a proper Iron Man suit, I do have the mark III diecast on preorder though so after realising that, I was quite happy.

I'm hoping I can use some reward points on the MK III next year. I will probably keep this one too because it's so unique. Wife aint gonna be happy

Quite excited for this to come in. I think it will really stand out displayed.

I'm lucky, got no one now to be unimpressed with what I buy anymore. lol
