Hot Toys Mark V Proto is out!!!

[Gully Foyle]

replacing too many parts may turn this into a fragile motha

No kidding. Good point.

Mr. Wong's video is impressive. Looks like the undamaged right hand has finger articulation. The thigh armor is impressive. What a beaut of an armored figure.

Think what they could do with a Gary Oldman/Dracula red muscle armor figure!

Well, I saw one one ebay and the seller described it to be shipped a month after purchased. I emailed him and asked do you have the item on hand and he said HT will release it in China on May-June. So I figure it will reach USA by July-August. Just rough estimate though.

Hmm, I find it hard to believe an eBay seller knows the release date, seeing as HT haven't even announced it yet.

 

[LoveMinusZero]

Holy Crap this looks so awesome!

 

[Marvel-ous]

No head sculpt please HT. This fig doesn't need it. Get this one out as soon as possible.

The legs being "too far apart" you can really tell in that vid is just to the pose. Not only are the legs spread apart but the knees are turned out making him looked bow-legged/duck footed.

The video also gives me a much better appreciation for the figure in general. The movement really gives a much better impression of the detail of the sculpting.

Hope you are right. If not I'll just pose the fig in a way that hides the "horse-syndrome", because I am buying that fig no matter what. Just like I'm buying the Monger, even if it's $500.

Haha u have good point. But you never know what's going on in China and perhaps that guy has the info or perhaps he's just big liar. I, then, shouldn't say anything since the information may not be accurate lol.

 

[dedguy]

Rush hackjob, but this is just rotating the legs on the balljoint of the hips without moving the balljoint inward at all and the knees are still rotated outward but I think it's pretty obvious it's just a bad pose.

 

[Marvel-ous]

Reassuring.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Disappointed at no race suit, but this is damned impressive!

I must say, of all the things on display at the expo, this, (suprisingly), is what has impressed me most.

It will break my 'no IM2 figures' rule. I simply must get this beauty.

If that rule is in place to prevent multiple armors your f'd because I broke it for the Mk.4 and now I want the 5,6, Monger and am pulling for a Whiplash Mk.2

 

[dedguy]

I still don't exactly have a solid idea of what in hell the Whiplash 2 armor looks like. Are there any good pre-production images of it? In the final scene you never really get a good solid look at it. It seem sort of similar to the drones with a kinda samurai flair to it.

It was indeed to prevent that, as I simply cannot afford to get into this line. Especially with the recent HT announcements.

But I will try to try to stay strong.
