Re: Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Mark 42 Battle Damaged
keep in mind though that if they did release him it would have to be in diecast format... which imo means expensive and a background character the majority wont need...

because Hot Rod is based off of War Machine MK 2, and that figure was die cast.
I don't really see Hot Toys investing in new molds for plastic versions for a version of the figure that probably wouldn't sell as well as other MKs

But I can see them wanting to get more mileage out of the diecast figure they already have made for WM/IP. All the design and tooling is done and paid for, any extra sales for the same base figure will be gravy for them.

It wouldn't have to be Diecast, but I agree the odds are in favor of HT releasing Hot Rod as a Diecast since IP was done in that medium. That being said, HT did Python and Bones in plastic so it's a crap shoot really.

like if the WM MK 2 was originally plastic. Then yes, a plastic version would be cheaper than die cast.
But since WM MK 2 is diecast, HT would have to make new molds for plastic version. So now they have to invest more money for production.
So to compensate, would they have a higher price point or sell more of the figure? And who knows how many people would be interested in this version of the suit.

They must have found a few burried in the warehouse! Back up on SS, get it while it's hot!

I got wicked excited, until I realized it was for the accessories and not the tony in workshop set. I would have jumped on that instantly!
