Hot Toys - IRON MAN - MARK III PHOTO Thread

[abake]

not to rain on the ironman parade, (and i am not directing this question to you Abake, it just a question in general.) but I am a bit confused as to how this iron man is an engineering marvel? since its not a traditional 1/6 figure (base body + suit), the design is similar to many robot toys/model kits that have come before, I don't really see much that's ground breaking or an engineering marvel

I see your point, but still... the amount of sculpting and precision tooling to make so many small pieces fit together and work, including the lights, the paint apps, plus a superb head-sculpt... all that adds up to an engineering marvel IMHO.

Will the TS HS work with this? Will i have to buy a neck post?

yes and yes ... you would need to buy a neck post and it would work.

Will any HT neck post work then?

Nice pics Krayt! What's with the feathers though? Did he fly thru a flock of birds?

To me, it's more the suit itself is an engineering/design marvel. While the TDK suit (or even the recent Transformers from the film) looks like it was designed by Nike or Oakley (imo way over detailed/designed) the Ironman suit (and the Adi Granov designs it's based on) are amazing to me. As a designer myself, I am increadibly impressed with something put together so well.

Probably the major issues is to make it so well in 1/6... you are right many people make robots, but not (at least as far as I've seen) to this level of detail (all the opening flaps and lights), capturing this close of a look to a film counterpart as well as maintaining articulation.

Being that these are essentially one-off figures (even though we see variants) they have to get it right the first time or it would be a complete waste. Not to mention being able to do all of this, while still offering it at a competitive price.

$165 for this, $160 for a Medicom Han lol), $129 for Sideshow Vader. That's where I get the engineering marvel. Especially in the 1/6 game were so much is basebody + clothes + head + accessories = figure.

Does IM come shipped with the Batteries?

 

[Crimsonbob]

Id say yeah, my HT's Dallas did.

 

[uscmhicks]

as far as I'm aware all of the hot toys stuff that has needed batteries so far has come with them although the hot toys kane and dallas and also the terminator 2 endoskeleton have both had there fair share of problems with the batteries not always working or being put in properly.

Whats with the barcode, well no, colour code blocks or whatever you call them. What app puts this onto the image? I don't get the purpose more so the 2nd pic, as the colour swabs don't match the 2nd pic. I don't see any green or pink... and the purpose of the garbled square?

 

[Darth Waller]

It's probably the guy's watermark or something.

 

[galactiboy]

This is one of the few times I can honestly say that a 1/6 figure looks like the real thing. Helps that there's no exposed skin, but still this figure is the bees knees!

Oh and I assume the color bit is just a signature, although it does look like some kind of test pattern.

Thats what I thought as well, then the non matching colours started to throw me off. I just assumed the app picked all the colours in each photo at the time it was watermarking it.

 

[OSCORP]

Problem is you should be looking at the figure and not the little barcode thingy (it's some dude's blog anyway)

So anyone else got a TT body ready for the head or thinking of getting one?
