Hot Toys Iron Man 'collARTible' Expo In HK

[mr.thrifty]

I kick myself for missing the GM IM all the time. Can't believe I passed on it.

It is a really nice figure. Glad I picked it up.

Beyond going for an arm / leg after market, it isn't superior than the other Marks IMO.

I wouldn't say it's superior, but it is a nice addition.

Im just curious as to why they chose the original m3 figure for this stealth version ..you would think they would base it on the bdm3 newly developed body ,spose its down 2 development costs ..but still there would be very few of these made right? ..but i am not complaining the original looks better proportionwise 2 me anyway and its nice that its getting a paintjob that actually compliments the figure.

The BD MK3 wasn't made yet. It was a con/store exclusive and needed to use an existing mold. I refuse to buy it just on the grounds its not a real armor. Its just Hot Toy's Hasbroing.

thats cool and I bet thats your HT SDCC Ex

Except for the fact it says NOT FOR SALE on that sign

Ya but i am talking about this stealth version shown in the footage from the expo and not the silly-thing gunmetal version.

The tags for the BD iron man 3 and the mech vest versions also have the "not for sale" on the tag. I think that is just so people know they cannot buy them at the expo.

I know. I'd like it to just have all the IM figures.

So? The GM IM wasn't for sale either as a regular release.

No Widow in the newsletter - i'm still hoping HT will give us her preview tonight and then she'll be on display at this expo soon after.

 

[Darkseed]

Ah..it is a nice to have I admit. I am scaling back with all the IM2 stuff coming and the possibility of 10 - 12 (or more) IM related figs.


I'll keep a few from IM and order a few from IM 2 to keep that license in perspective. The real challenge will be holding out until on all the Mark's from IM2 then deciding which one(s) to own.

HT revealed Jill Valentine this week.... no Black Window

 

[Geil]

Im just curious as to why they chose the original m3 figure...

Maybe it's just easier to mod as there really is almost no paint layer on it that you would need to remove completely before adding your own mods

 

[The Mike]

thats cool and I bet thats your HT SDCC Ex

What are the odds they spring an SDCC EX that wasn't already announced? Gunmetal was announced with the others....I'm guessing it'll make the rounds at shows but go "site exclusive" at Sideshow instead of a Con Exclusive if in fact it turns up for order.

Here re a couple images from the Sideshow Collectibles crew.....WOW!!!

Here is an image of Jesse Lincoln's awesome piece. It was designed to represent a heavy construction type work suit. Nice!

Bernardo Esquivel's "Blue Thunder" inspired custom. Awesome!

More pics coming soon

Damn it, they didn't show her at the expo today either.

Good news is we should definately see her (at the expo) or by next Thursday's preview at the latest - since the film opens there next friday... and they promised to show us the 4 before the film opened.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Wonder if the hair will be sculpted or rooted.

 

[hunnipot85]

I hope it's rooted so it won't limit head movement.

Plus I like dolly hair...

I just hope she doesn't have a huge bald spot in the back like Silken Floss.

 

[GrayWolf87]

I think sculpted hair sculpted hair, because I dont think they could get rooted to look right. Also, lately their female figures have had sculpted hair. If it was made out of a soft enough material it shouldnt limit poseability much. It would also look wavey and layered or whatever like it does in hunnipots's avarter gif.

Will see anyway. I'm not bothered as long as it looks good. Could be made of of feckin' seaweed for all I care as long as it looked right

 

[jinxx]

I <3 this one! It's the Merchant of Death version of Iron Man!

Been waiting for any info on her for the whole day yesterday. The build up on her figure is really getting high on my anticipation meter. I hope we get a glimpse over the weekend. But you're right the film is going to open there next week so whats another week of wait.
