Hot Toys MMS 145 - Iron Man 2 - Mark V 1/6 limited edition collectible specs + pics

[The Josh]

Right with the NRD it will switch to shipping soon because they charge part of it. Was odd when I saw it with the Mark V cause I'm thinking this isn't supposed to ship for months.

This is the only Iron Man 2 fig I didn't pre order. I just think the $209 sideshow is charging is too high and then the $20 deposit to me feels like a slap in the face. I am not a sideshow basher by any means, if anything I have nothing but praise for them with all my orders and customer service that I have had with them on one on one basis. I there was no deposit I would have just sucked it up and done the $209.99.

That, being said, is Alterego a good company? dependable, is shipping reasonable? they are charging $188.99. I have never bought anything like this other than sideshow so Input would be appreciated. also do they bill at shipping or right away? or would anyone recommend another company?

The amount they're charging for the Mark V is the same as the Mark VI though. I'm not sure why they put the NRD on this but as with anything it keeps people from just ordering to order. Plus the total comes off what the price of the figure is to begin with.

Yes, Alter Ego is a great place to order. They will ship really quickly once they get it and they seem to be one of the first retailers to ship after SS.

true, Although I feel the Mark VI came with more stuff but that came be argued based on light up based vs. destroyed drones base, extra headsculpt vs. briefcase, yada yada yada.

In a way, I feel like i'm cheating on sideshow if I order from Alterego. lol weird.

Thanks for the info Josh.

Alter Ego Comics is a great place to get things from. Usually one of the lowest prices and also fast shipping. They get their stuff pretty fast. Also, Sideshow usually drop ships stuff directly to me in AEC's behalf, so it gets here ultra fast.

Alter Ego is tops ODK! I order everything (typically) through them and I like that they have a reward point system. Haven't earned enough for a figure yet but at least it's something!

Their CS is great too. Had a scratch on my T-1000 helmet...they refunded me $15, no questions asked.

I also asked them to keep an eye out for a VI preorder cancellation for me and two weeks later they came through for me on that as well.

I don't love their preorder system (you get like a week to cancel without having to pay 10% or something like that) but I pay in full for all of my figures so it doesn't really pertain to me.

There you have it...

All that said....where is my VI!

thanks man, I appreciate the info

I really like corner store comics. They get it pretty early and have really good prices. Almost always better than sideshow on the figures I've bought anyway. I have 5 preorders with them right now. Only thing is theydont offer any points or anything. That's alright though. Those take forever to accumulate. I'm thinking of preordering a second one of these guys if possible.

Cornerstore is always my second. AlterEgo is my primary because of the points and they're closer so shipping is faster.

Used CSC a few times and nothing but great service. Bought a whole bunch if stuff when they had their flat rate shipping sale. Good for international customers. Hope they have anither promotion like that. Best time to buy their large ticket items.

All great info guys, thanks.

Feels like this has been showing up as "Processing" forever. Anyone esle still see that in order history on SSC?

My experience with any Hot Toys figures I order from SSC, that status has always appeared right from the beginning of the PO. To me, it means nothing until I get the "20 days" or so until figure arrive email or the processing credit cards email.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Anything your order from Sideshow appears in your order history as "Processing" until it ships ("Shipped") or until you cancel the order ("Cancelled").

I'm still contemplating picking this up. I was only planning on buying the Mark VI, but now I have WM and the Mark IV sitting on my shelf.

Stupid Hot Toys...

 

[Agentofchaos]

Mark V should come with at least a battle damaged face reveal From a value perspective this one falls behind imo when compared to IV and VI. Have it on PO nonetheless
