i for one, am pretty damn happy with this news.
i bought the mark I at retail back when it was first released. loved it to bits. was hands down my favourite 1/6 figure. but early this year, my home was broken into, and thieves stole my entire 1/6 collection, worth over 10grand. tbh, i was able to make peace with it and let go of the loss. the only collectible i really missed was, yup, the ht iron man mark I.
so although i understand how some collectors must feel with a re-release screwing up the value of the original, plus the potential for ht to devalue their own business, i truly welcome the chance to own a mark I again. with open arms!
what's even better is they're going to improve on the rather weak original headsculpt AND include some new stuff. really curious to see what they give us this time. my guess is ht will take the DX route, much like the joker, and include stuff like a special base, extra accessories, and maybe even a new costume/body (the singlet he was wearing in the cave, with the arc reactor showing thru).
i called this like 2 weeks ago!!
'course this was talked about way back during SDCC when it was a rumor. But nevermind that.
I never heard about the SDCC rumor.
Yeah, everyone was talking about it, just like now, but eventually the Monger got announced and everyone just assumed that was what the leak was about.
Can't wait for Iron Monger 2.0. Correct scale!
